Here is an arrival manifest from 1914 destination Omaha NB the modern day transcribers erred the name is ZEMUNSKI on the manifest

Zenninski, Danicza F 36y M Hungary, Servian So. Omaha, U.S.A.
Zenninski, Istvan M 15y S Hungary, Servian So. Omaha, U.S.A.
Zenninski, Smilya F 12y S Hungary, Servian So. Omaha, U.S.A.
Zenninski, Szvetislaw M 1y S US Citizen So. Omaha, U.S.A.

Perhaps they came from what is now Perlez, Serbia, Vojvodina region, but until the end of WW I it was part of the old Banat region of Hungary.

Perhaps Yugaya can help with the place where Vasa was born.
