Not sure if this is the same Sophia you're looking for. The info I have in my Goniwicha/Goniwiecha tree, she was born in 1867 in Poland died in either 1935 or 1946 in Michigan. Parents were Albert (Woicek) and Caroline Pluta.

I am also researching the Goniwiecha name. It looks like my ancestors changed their name to Goniwicha when they came to the US.
