Lazar -- Austria to Pennsylvania?

Surnames: Lazar, Wapotich, Williams, Benzer
I'm trying to make some connections to my great grandmother's family. Her name was Anna Marie Lazar, born 24 May 1881 in Austria, married John A. Wapotich (b.20 August 1881 in Austria), and died in the Detroit, MI area on 14 August 1950. John and Anna settled in the Butler, Pennsylvania area. The Wapotich surname was changed to Williams sometime after the 1920 census. Anna's son, my grandfather Charles Anthony Williams, was born in Butler, Pennsylvania.

I have reason to believe Anna had at least two sisters (I have a photo), Katie (Katherine? no further information) and Julia (b. abt. 1886 in Austria, married William V. or H. Benzer, four known children, Albert b.1906, William Jr. b.1908, Lillian b.1910, and Helen b.1911).

I would love to find out more information about Anna's family -- parents, other siblings, etc. Thanks much!
