To me the surname ending in U suggest Romanian ancestry.
Do you know if this is the correct spelling or was it "americanized"? No one with that name passed thru Ellis Island.

Did you locate his manifest? You need to locate a name of a town for your ancestor in order to proceed with the search.
What language did he speak?

Since you want to connect with the family, why not send a letter with family information, include your e-mail and a photo of your ancestor for that "extra" visual aid and see what comes back.

Dear Mary,
Do you know something about your ancestors faith? It would be easier to find them in Cluj / Kolozsvar's parish registers.
Do you speak Romanian?
