I would say that Washuta is an "americanized" version of WASZUTA (I hope).In 1990 census of names there were 9 WASZUTAs in Poland.www.herby.com.pl/herbyin Polish and only distribution.There were 3 Waszutas that came thru Ellis Island but no Jozef/Jozsef/Joseph.It is possible that he came thru Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia or even Canada. Since he was naturalized citizen, I would recommend that you locate his naturalization petition. Do post on Poland's Genforum board.
Take a look in these sites for research in Poland.
