Glad to help Jay.
Will be waiting on the documents.
Keep in mind that most of the time our first ancestors to America married within same region, religion [few exceptions] but for sure common language - dialect to communicate in and common tradition to observe.
It is ALL in the LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
I do think the church marriage record and children's baptismal record should give you a place of birth.
Yes, I can see KWIATKOWSKI changing to FLOWERS.
Do not assume or presume and try to put the family stories on the back burner. It is the documents that will line up all the ducks in the row. Anything on the headstone of these 2 ancestors? A death certificate could only be 100% correct if the ancestor filled it out himself.
How about a naturalization intent % petition?
SKI / SKA ending would suggest Roman Catholic.

Hopefully something on the arrival manifest. Were you able to find her first arrival to America? Do you have your GORCICKI male ancestor's arrival manifest?
