Klekotka from Wilka, Poland?
I've been searching for immigration information about my Polish great-great-grandmother, Stefania Klekotka. She emigrated (alone) to St. Louis, MO around 1910.
I found this passenger manifest on Ancestry.com that seems to me quite likely to be her:

This manifest lists "Wilka, Ruska" as her birth city. I found a Wilka, Poland on the polish version of Wikipedia (http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilka), but I don't speak Polish and can't read much of what it says. It's an article stub, anyway.
Does anyone know anything about this town? Seems like it's a very small place. I can't find anything in English about it (except that it's part of the title of a play or book called "The Maidens from Wilka")
Does anyone know about the Klekotka family?
