These include from Fond 1606, op. 16, Jews in Mukachevo: [?]

FYI her US 20th c. documents list her dob as 17 Dec 1886 in "Ungar", where she also wrote her parents' names on her 1908 NYC marriage record: Hery & Chaje Weiss.

Additionally, The child is female, illegitimate.

"Last residence Zombor" is suspicious. Zombor is in the south in present day Serbia. All the other places are in Munkacs area, very far away

Sali/Száli/Záli (pronounced roughly like Sally) was traditionally a diminutive of Rosalia/Rozália, but in Jewish families was often a stand-alone secular/public name. Both Sadie and Sally are traditional English nicknames of Sarah. Thus, I would say that yes, it's possible that a Sali from Hungary would turn into Sadie in the U.S.
