Amy,
My guess would be that the original surname was Hamrak.A "hamor" was a foundry, and "hamrak" could mean a person who worked there.But that, even if it is correct, will not get you far.You need to determine the village or town of origin for the immigrants.There should some information concerning that ancestral home on such documents as naturalization papers.If the family doesn't have such papers, there may be copies in local or county archives for whatever town they lived in in Pennsylvania.
