Another source has the Fautsches originating from Hirschfelde, Poland.

He, as Balthasar Fautsch, 57, came to the U.S. with his family in 1868 from Germany. They arrived in New York (Castle Garden) on June 2nd aboard the S.S. Borussia which had departed Hamburg May 16th.

Called Neva in the 1900 census. In that census, she is shown as having had 8 children, 7 still living. If Frank died in 1892, as is shown here, then that extra child must have been born in Poland and was still alive (either in Poland or the U.S., having come over separately) as of 1900.
