Abraham William's tombstone should have his father's name on it. I would get a
picture of it (and his wives). If you don't read hebrew (like me), find someone to
read it for you. Also investigate any symbols on the tombstone, as they might relate to
his tribe (such as the Cohen symbol). I haven't located his immigration information,
but I think it was about 1925, probably with his mom Toyba. I expect she came over because
she was widowed, which means Wolf died between Bet. 1921-1925.
There is a Jewish Cemetery in Gritzev, but from what I read it's in pretty rough shape
and no online transcription of it is available.
I suggest you order the Social Security Application form on each of the Cashman siblings.

Don't be surprised if each of them spell their parents names in slightly different
ways. As I mentioned earlier, ordering marriage and death certs may also provide a few
clues. Just remember that the information about parents on a death cert are only as
reliable as the memory of the informant who provided them.
If you are in New York City, you could visit the Jewish Genealogy Society there, which
might be of great help.
