The 1910 census shows Anna as a widow at age 49 living in Homestead. The 1900 shows her as born Jan 1865 again in Homestead and again a widow. Remarkably she grew much older in each census record. Each shows she immigrated ca 1880-1881. Her sons Michael and John are also in the WWI draft registration.
Some of these records you can look at for free at labs.familysearch.org and Ancestry.com. For those you cannot see for free I suggest checking with your local libraries to see if they have Ancestry or Heritage Quest.
Considering all of her children are listed as born in Pennsylvania it is a given that their father immigrated too. The question is did the couple immigrate together and if they were married before they came here.
It is possible the father was among those killed in the infamous Homestead Riot of 1892. Their youngest son John was born 4 months after the riot.
I suggest contacting the Genealogical Society of Western Pennsylvania or the Mifflin Township Historical Society to see if they can help you.
