Have you located any of the ship manifest entries of your ancestors?How (i.e., under which transcribed spellings)could I find the arrival record of Anna Weiss, or of Ferdinand and Anton Gobl?Was Adeline Pichler born in the USA?
I found an arrival record at Ellis Island of a Josef Gobl.He was supposed to arrive on December 20, 1909 with no other family members, but his entry is struck out.This may imply that he just did not make it onto this particular voyage, but may have taken another ship shortly before or afterwards.
In this entry, the last name is written as Göbl (with the umlaut on the o).This is very likely an original spelling for the name of your ancestors as well.Sometimes, Göbl gets transcribed as Goebl.Anyway, this Josef came from Jamm (not Zamm as the record transcription says) and was 25 years old.As his closest relative in the home country he listed his father (first name initial unclear to read) in Jamm near St. Anna am Aigen.Josef was supposed to travel onwards to a friend, Leopold Puntigam, in New York City.
All this means that Josef's Jamm was the small hamlet of this name located near St. Anna am Aigen in Eastern Styria.Jamm is also close to Bad Gleichenberg.The Diocesan Archive in Graz would be able to clarify the name of the parish for Jamm.
Another implication, I believe, is that the parents of Josef (and of Ferdinand and Anton, in case this is the right Josef for you) had not moved to Graz.Therefore, perhaps only Ferdinand had moved to Graz.In any case, one should be able to locate at least Ferdinand in the residency records of Graz.
