Morris Katz, Bronx NY 1920s-1940s

I have researching my grandmother's mother's family.She says they came to Ellis Island when her mother was only about 9yrs old.Her name was Mary Katz.She thinks she was originally VonKatz or FonKatz.Mary had siblings: Ida, Jack, Sara, Anna, and Morris.My grandmother says that Morris left the family and he was not heard from again.Morris' parents names were Usher (or Oscar) and Rachel Lee (or Leah.)
I have had NO luck searching the Ellis Island manifests looking for these last names.My grandmother says they came from Russia and their name was changed to Katz when they arrived.
I wonder if there is any relation?Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.I seem to have hit a brick wall.
Good Luck!
