Advice on Puzzle: Surnames: Langman, Wygoda, Blaustein, Trajstman #names #records #poland

I am trying to work out a puzzle regarding the correct parents of my 2X Great Grandmother Rebecca (Rywke Gitla) Wygoda nee. LANGMAN and would appreciate any advice. Below, I will provide a summary of names and where I obtained the information. This is to additionally help anyone researching these surnames.
Rebecca's gravestone inscription list's her father as שמעון (Shimon). Rebecca was born ~1865.
According to the index of the Radom PSA Book of Residents on JRI-Poland:
Rebecca WYGODA (Gitla Rywka's) father's name is listed as Szlama LAKMAN and her mother's name is Chaja. Chaja's maiden name is not listed in the index. I do not know if it is on the original copy. This record identifies Rebecca born in Dzierzków. I have US/UK records that identify Rebecca's maiden name as LANGMAN. I have been looking at a DNA connection to my mother (Shared DNA: 138 cM across 10 segments; Longest segment: 44 cM) who I have determined descends from a Dawid (David) LANGMAN born ~1879. Dawid's death certificate states his parents' names as Simon LANGMAN and Chaje BLAUSTEIN. Dawid's passenger list manifest identifies his town of birth/last place of residence as Warsaw. For a while, I believed Rebecca's mother's name was Chaje TRAJSTMAN. This is because of an entry on JewishGen for a marriage between Szymon LANGMAN and Chaja TRAJSTMAN on Oct 27, 1862. Szymon's parents: Aron LANGMAN and Ester. Chaja's parents: Berek TRAJSTMAN and Chawa.
Dawid's children are named: Rywke, Chaje, Chawa, Slazma (going by Simon and Samuel). As you may see, all of these first names overlap. The following is possible: 1. I incorrectly assigned Chaja TRAJSTMAN as the mother to my 2XGG Rwyka (Rebecca) and it is actually Chaja BLAUSTEIN 2. The incorrect maiden name was provided for Chaja on Dawid's death certificate in the U.S. 3. There could be a different connection to Dawid Langman (ex. cousin and not brother), and shared parental names are coincidental. With all this in mind, I am not sure where to go next. Would appreciate any advice or thoughts. Thank you! Tracy Fish Nevada/Brooklyn, New York tsfishphotography@...
