Help[Facts] Late to the convo but...
in reply to a message by Ema
I do agree with the consensus that the reading of your great-great aunt's name is most likely Chisako.
I could not find any chi/sa+咲子 on Japanese passenger lists on FamilySearch, so I had to make do with googling chi/sa+咲子 combinations. Regarding sa+, there are no results that include readings (and very few results that include just the kanji), so in itself, I would rule out any Sa#ko readings for 散咲子. As for chi+, the search results I found reveal Chisako is the only reading that shows up at all.

Just FYI, my source has 20 girl's names including 散, in three of which it is pronounced SA/ZA, one SAN, and the remainder CHI(RU). So while I certainly agree that Chisako is the most likely reading, I wouldn't say that Sa- is completely ruled out.
These are the three SA names:
散雪 Sayuki
座散乱木 Kisaragi
花散里 Kazari
There are 53 names listed in my source with the -咲子 -SAKO combination; too many to paste here, but samples are:
亜咲子 Asako
喜咲子 Kisako
瑳咲子 Sasako
知咲子 Chisako
久咲子 Hisako
芙咲子 Fusako
真咲子 Masako
実咲子 Misako
梨咲子 Risako
The reading -EKO showed up in, e.g. 安咲子, Aeko. With the pronunciation -KI it was mainly found as the final syllable, as in 朝咲 Asaki.
