Looks like it says Jozsef Fecske's brother is Janos Fecske and Rozalia Fecske (who is traveling with him) is his daughter !  This would mean that Rozalia Fecske is the sister of Joseph C. Feczke b. 1877. ?

I tried to read hand-written manifest information.  May have visited previously 1907/1911.  95?28 ? Kimbark? Avenue, Chicago, (which is in Burnside!!. This appears to be about 4-5 streets east of Ellis Ave ) ? Bld hair and "blue"? eyes.. Other info not legible.
