I suggest getting their death certificates from the PA Dept of Health. The certificates should list their parents' names including the mother's maiden name.
The Marx Room at the Easton Area Public Library has a wonderful collection of Northampton County genealogical resources. Their obituaries may prove helpful. I say may because data in obits back then varied greatly from being little more than funeral notices to ones that look like modern obits. In addition to the English language newspapers I suggest checking the German language newspapers which usually had better obits. Hopefully they'll at least list surviving siblings.
The library also has a number of church records. I suggest checking the church records in and around Forks Twp as not all births and baptisms were recorded where the person lived.
The surname may have been originally German, that is spelled Andreas.
