Brzeskiewicz and Kroll

I'm looking for any information people can give.
My grandmother Janina Kroll came to the US on the ship Adriattic in Feb of 1901.
She traveled with her mother, Franciska Kroll, Brothers Wladislau and Stanislau. and a sister Midual. My Great granfather Kroll was already in the US, living in Chicago. The family came from Osswa Poland. Also spelled Osawa.

My grandmother, Jania Kroll, married Jacob Brzeskiewicz in Milwaukee Wisconsin, She was 15. Changed her name to Jane. Her oldest son, Eugene Brzeskiewicz (in his 90's) is still alive living in Dallas Texas. My father is Henry Walter Brzeskiewicz, Passed in November 2005

Any info is appreciated

Is this town of birth?

The only liating I found for Osawa is in Russia. None for Osswa.

It could be Osova or Ossowa, both with several locations in Poland.

Other possibilities:

Do you have the manifest for the family (couldn't find)?

My student was a Zbigniew Kroll, he know lives in Japan. He is an eminent scientist, formerly of the Warsaw Institute.

He contacted me quite recently, I proofread stuff for him for international symposiums. He may be able to shed some light on this.

Thanks
I'm going to post some new information I found today. Look for it.

Yes Ma'am (salutes in obedience)

Jacob Brzeskiewicz was born Jan. 18, 1895 in Poland (Russia) His parents were Andrew Brzeskiewicz and Josephine Plisnik in Poland..Jacob imigrated to the US in 1914 with his Plisnik cousins. Jacob was the only one of his family to come to the US

Jacob is my grandfather. Henry Walter Brzeskiewicz, his son, is my father. I have just found the family tree Henry was working on before he died

Jacob married Janina Kroll May 17, 1917. Janina Kroll
Jania Kroll was born January 12, 1902. She was the 7th child of Andrew and Victoria Kroll in Lodz, Poland. In 1903 a smallpox epidemic raged through Poland and Janina was the only child to survive.
Janina imigrated with her father in 1905 to the US

Of interest is Baron Josef Hapsburg is listed as the Great-grandfather of Janina Kroll. And Proxeda Hapsburg, listed as the Grandmother of Janina

I can find nothing about Proxeda Hapsburg. But have been told she was dis-owned for marring a russian soldier. Whether this is true or not I can not find that information

Sorry, his name is Król, not Kroll. Król may come from Kroll tho

Hello I am actually looking into information on the Krol name. My great-grandmother's maiden name was Krol. Her name was Nellie Krol, she came to the US in 1913, she was born in 1900. She came with an American family to be a housekeeper for them in Manchester NH. She had a brother named Walter (Wvaldaju-?) Krol whom was a college professor. His wife was also a college professor. Any information would be appreciated.

The following are amongst those researching the Kroll surname, which originally was probabyl dervied from Polish "król" (king)
