Sure. If they came in during the 1880's or thereabouts, they probably came into New York at the Castle Garden immigrations site. Try your surnames of interest in the Castle Garden search engine on the Castle Garden site at: http://www.castlegarden.org/ We found several of my wife's Moravian ancestors on that site: the names of those who came, what ship they came on, and when they arrived (it was Kaiser family from Bzenec.) It's a marvelous website. Good luck.

I don't know where to start looking?! My 1880's immigrant surnames are Piksa, Vrhel, Mojzis. Thanks in advance for any help!
