KIRCHENGAST/RIRCKENGASL, GORENC/GORENEC ca. 1880-1920

I'm looking to find any information on a mother (name unknown) and daughter ALOJZIJA KIRCHENGAST (RIRCKENGASL as stated in the ship's manifest) and their spouses and descendants.

I know the mother left for America (date unknown), then sent the tickets for her two daughters to join her. One of them, Alojzija, did so in the year 1920 with the ship La Touraine (from Le Havre to Ellis Island) and is listed in the manifest but with the surname misspelled as RIRCKENGASL. The location of origin is stated as Pristoni, Y. Slavia (in fact Pristavica, parish Bela cerkev in SE of todays' Slovenia). The manifest also states the next of kin back home, which is her sister Marija, my great grandmother.

I also have an unconfirmed information that Alojzija, aged 22 at arrival to the US, married a man with the surname GORENC or GORENEC whose origin presumably goes back to the NW parts of todays' Slovenia.
