Connections - Galician/Ukrainian ?

I have been to the Ellis Island site looking for my grandmother who, I'm told, immigrated as a child early 20th century. Her name, Karolina Leszczynska, appeared three times, but with the time-outs I haven't been able to complete the search. But one of the three was listed as having "Austria-Galicy, Polish" as her ethnicity, and her place of residence "Maniova, Galicy". I couldn't find Maniova anywhere, but did find references to a village named Maniava, Manyawa, or Maniawa, located in what is now the Ivano-Frankivsk region in Ukraine. Is this the family you're looking for?
