If you look at the manifest, you will see what it says.It's possible her mother was married to a Sawicki, but when you look at it, you can see the name started Sawczyk ...Maybe it was misspelled on the manifest.You won't know for sure until you find more records in Poland.
Finding the marriage record should give you a kick start in your research.
Go to the Polish archives website in the other letter I sent you.Click on the word more at the far right of one of the lines you may want.
Szyd³owo rzymskokatolickie ma³¿eñstwa 1826-1903 more
Those are marriage records for 1826 through 1903.When you click on "more", that gives you contact information.There is a street address and an email address.
When you request data, you can write your letter in English.They have people working that that know English, but they normally only respond in Polish.You need to give them the person's name, where she was born, name of parish and when born.You have to be careful.If you are not precise in what you want, they will pull everything they can find, and you can get a hefty bill.It's no problem, if you are expecting a large one.It's best to write and ask them for a specific document (if you don't want a large bill from them) to help you get started so the point where you can use microfilm.I prefer to do my own research because it helps me in learning more about the people.I pull every record I can find on microfilm for people with my family surnames.Many people I can't identify, but sometimes people will contact me that know those unidentified by me are related.It's a fun way of researching and helps you gain more contacts in Poland.I've been there twice and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting cousins from several branches of my family tree.
