When they came to the USA they were aliens and were required to file an ALIEN REGISTRATION form annually until they became citizens. Those forms are probably in the National Archives by now. As aliens they would have had to state where they were born exactly.
If they were refugees who had been cared for by the International Red Cross they would have been thoroughly investigated by the IRC before thay were allowed to emigrate and those records are archived at Bad Arolsen in Germany. But that same information should have been forewarded to the US State Dept.for their OK. I would think those records are also in the national Archives.
