Hi Rose - I know you've searched under just about every rock for these people, but have you tried the Jewish Genealogical Society of NY http://www.jgsny.org/ Maybe they keep a list of their members' research interests. They have some databases on line that you can search. One of them was for the WWI draft. When I searched there, I found a Hyman Hoffman, b. Austria There are also a few listed in the Naturalization index they have on line there. I understand you are looking for death and burial records, but maybe these other records could have a clue that will help find them.
