If they do not show up in the Ellis Island web site, than they came to America thru other port. You still can look in the EI just to give you an idea of where the name was originating.
What about the census?
By the years of death, the social security application seems to be out of the question.
Anyone was naturalized citizen?
A little correction in a name Frank is Frantisek.
Could the name be DLOUHA and not Dlouka.
If they married in the "old country"than the lived not far from each other. Possibly a village or two apart.
Would be good to at least find one village.
www.iarelative.comCzeching out our Ancestors has Alphabetical Surname postings which might be good to check out. There are 15 VAVRAs.
Were they Bohemian or Moravian?At least it would narrow down the look up in the Czech phone book.
