Per your question regarding the village of Popomusz, Ruspia, I checked 
the Ellis Island records for Eduard Fenske. I found that he arrived in 
New York on June 19, 1912 as you indicated but the record shows he came 
from Witaszyn, Ruspia, not Popomusz. The record indicates the Witaszyn 
is near Plock. I never heard of Ruspia. Perhaps it was meant to be 
Russian Poland. Eduard's destination appeared to be Bridgeport, 
Connecticut.
