Thank you Norbert, really it's so important to see this ship manifest, now I can state after deep analysis that the true Sharon's family name from Poland is probably BOSZKOWICZ, and as with many immigrants the Polish name lost at least one letter while immigrating, all is basing on the very fortunate point that the family name has survived after 100 years living on the same place!
Here is my work with surname location in the presen-day Poland:
I. In this village LIPINKI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipinki,_Lesser_Poland_Voivodeshiphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipinki,_Lesser_Poland_Voivodeship is still living:
# Anna Boszkowicz, Lipinki, Poland
II. In the village of KRYG - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryg,_Lesser_Poland_Voivodeshiphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kryg,_Lesser_Poland_Voivodeship located just 2 miles of LIPINKI in the SW direction is still living:
# Leszek Boszkowicsz, Kryg, Poland
III. In the nearest local town of BIECZ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bieczhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biecz located just 5 miles of LIPINKI in the North is still living:
# Marek Boszkowicz, Biecz, Poland

The nearest family name other than BOSZKOWICZ is BOZ~KOWICZ (Bo¿kowicz), as in this village of LIPINKI is living:
# Stanislaw Bo¿kowicz, Lipinki, Poland

Time to point out and show to dear Sharon from the US her family ancestral parish and church in Poland:
LIPINKI - one of the most beatiful churches in this part of Poland, here is their Website:

From this website here here are the images of the LIPINKI church and local area, for Sharon's Family History Book:

The second family ancestral church and parish was LIBUSZA, as village KRYG belonged to this parish in the 19th century and earlier:
