Your main problem will probably be the variations on the surname once they arrived here, they tended to anglicise their names to avoid discrimination but also because many many of them fled their country during the persecutions in the early 1900s, were they Polish Jews? If so I have extensively researched a line of my own for a family that came from the Ukraine and the research that has been done by some very very dedicated people is amazing.
There has also been alot of work done on recording information in towns affected by occupation and the migrations, which you would find useful.
