According to Ellis Island Records, the Original Ship's Manifest/handwritten copy reads that Joanna's mother was Olympia Lasowa. Joanna lists herself as Ruthenian/Ukrainian. Looks like she was emigrating from Galicia/Halychyna> Austro Hungarian Empire.
I suspect that the village name was transliterated incorrectly. Could be Lassow???? The L on her surname looks very much like the first letter of village name. I am not convinced the village name is Sasson. I need to take a magnifying glass to that manuscript and don't have one handy in the office. Will get back to you later on this.
