Yunasowshas and Toter Family immigration help

Surnames: Yunasowshas Toter
I am trying to find information on Andrew Toter born in Russia around 1880 and came to America in 1910 with his wife Anna Yunasowshas born April 10, 1887 in Russia. I have found a 1920 census with their names on it, but no immigration information. I have tried alternate spells for their last names but I have not been able to find any information. I have also tried searching Russian records. Does anyone have any tips for trying to find additional information?

Please provide the US record that you found YUNASOWSKAS spelling on. Seeing is being.
The English speaker wrote down how he/she heard.
To hear pronunciation of what you have for Anna http://ivona.com
Is the ending SKA as in female form for Anna? Is this a Lithuanian surname ending in SKAS?
It comes down to what did your ancestor considered himself to be Polish, Lithuania, Russian?
I would not take an US census information to the bank as well as a death certificate but of course there would depend who was the informant.
Is her surname JUNASZ; JANOSZ, JANASZ or ?

The 1920 census has that Anna and Andrew arrived in 1910 so I take it they did not make the 1910 census. You have had no success finding the ancestors on 1930 or 1940 census?
I'm not a paying subscriber so cannot view the 1920 census. Any notation like Na-naturalized; Al-alien or Pa-first paper on the census?
