While I was not able to find their immigration records (Vajda, especially, is a common name), I do think I have identified their villages of origin.
Cari was in Nyitra megye, Hungarian spelling Csari, and is now Cary, Slovakia. Your Ruklov/Rublov is actually Kuklo, which was in Pozsony megye, and is now Kuklov, Slovakia. Despite the fact that they were in different counties, they are less than two miles apart, very close to both Austrian and Czech borders. This suggests to me that they must have known each other before immigrating.
Somolarnyi should be Somolanyi. An Eva Somolan(i) immigrated from "Kukla" to Johnstown PA in 1897 and is most probably related, as this is not a common name. It could be spelled Somolan, Somolany, Somolani, or Somolanyi.
LDS has not yet finished microfilming the church records from western Slovakia. This leaves you the choice of either waiting, which could be a long time, or hiring a professional genealogist to look at the church records for you.
Good luck, Janet
