I just checked out the Manifest and I think it is Gydina which is now in Poland. It looks to me like they started to write the G like the rest on the page, but then the pen "stuck' a little.

The surname in the 3rd line down starts with the same character, possibly a "J" Jacko, or a "D" Dacko as suggested by Roman. Check a few manifest pages on either side of your particular page and find that letter again in a word you know. Time consuming, but sometimes the only way. Also, letter just prior to the last letter looks more like an "N" (as in Karolina) that a "C".

I agree it's a "g"....just figured that out and then read your email. Thanks. Think you can try to figure out her cousin's name on that same manifest? Hope so!
