Have you looked at the FILIPCZUKs who arrived NY Ellis Island to America?
Filipczuk, Damizela/Hawryluz Katzmann, Austria 30 1882-1883 1913
You could go thru all of the FILIPCZUKs location highlighting their locations especially if they are around the location Kotzman. Just one way to go about. Do try Richard's suggestions.
None of the ancestor's Canadian records provide you with precise place of birth?
