Hi Carol,
my grandmother came from Cestice and my Grandfathers name was Nemec...there are many Frank's in his side of the family...carried all the way down to my dad and brother and nephew...my grandfather changed his name from Nemec to Nemetz in about 1912 when he came over to Ellis Island. His name was Emerich Henry Nemec at that time. He had several brothers and I think 2 sisters who remained in Yugoslavia. He met my Grandma here in 1915...she was from Cestice Hungary and her maiden name was Laki. If this sounds like there may be some sort of connection...let me know and I'll give all the details I can.
Thanks and good luck in your search!
Blessings,
Karen (Nemetz) Larkin
