Joseph emigrated from Zaleszczyki, Rejon zaleszczycki, Obwód tarnopolski in 1897 (1900 Census), Ukraine (at the time in the Austria Hungary empire). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalishchyky. Family lore has the family passing through Vienna at some point, as there is a picture of Doris Roller labeled as taken in Vienna. The Hilfsverin in Vienna assisted Zaleshchiki's Jews, so it is possible that someone in Doris' family worked there.
Although Joseph's emigration documents list his place of birth as Zalisteca, Austria, if you listen to the phonetic pronunciation of https://www.pronouncekiwi.com/Zalishchyky, it matches. The town name is spelled differently depending on language: Zalishchyky (/zɑːliʃˈtʃiːki/ zaw-leesh-chee-kee; Ukrainian: Залiщики, Romanized: Zalishchyky), also spelled Zalischyky.
