My husband's grandmother is a Junek, (although not a connection, yet to you). Her father, Carl Frank was born in Moravia, but we were told he spoke German. My husband's baby book shows him born in Austria, and penciled in is "Czech". 1920 Census says his place of birth is Bohemia. Later,we found he arrived from Germany to Baltimore. We spent years wasting time on looking for him to have come in thru a Gulf Port.
According to the 2 volume history of Bell Co, TX the name is Czech, and several other Juneks are in that book.
Hope this helps!
