The first letter looks like a 'C' and is not very different from the C in Chicago on line 7 or in Cleveland on line 11 (both in column of final destination). The second letter puzzled me first but then, although I don't speak polish, I recalled that the combination 'CZ' is not uncommon in polish, so I go for 'z'. Third and fourth letters looks like 'eu' or 'en' followed by a 't' and 'o'. Next could be 's', 'c' and 'h'. The final two letters could be 'a' or 'o' followed by 'n' or maybe a 'w'. That would yield Czentoschow, but after consulting internet I believe it could be Częstochowa. I would not take this conclusion for granted but as a hint to investigate further.
Also, looking at an old (1902) russian-polish map in the lower left corner an inch over Krakaw
there is a place called Czenstochowa
.
I believe it is czetowa (sp) Russian Poland. That is how it was referred by in my grandparents birth certificates and immigration to Ellis Island. Is this my cousin John or my uncle John. I was looking for info on Stanley as well.
