A passenger list manifest record includes the term "ZUPA XX" and/or "ZUPA XIX" after the place of origin, ie, "...at Dobroniva, zupa XIX". Would someone please be able to tell me what this means? Many thanks. Pat, Mission, B.C.

"zupa" refers to a county or in some cases a district. The subsequent letters appear to be Roman numerals. Its difficult to say if the numerals were associated with the rest of the context. Do you see this repeatedly or just in this single passenger entry/row?
