If yes, did you try to see if one of them became naturalized US citizen? I am pretty sure you know why they changed the surname, right? The CZ's alphabet does not changes like the English/American. Did your ggrandfather live pass 1940? If yes, and not naturalized than he would have an Alien Registration Form. You should try to locate your ggrandfather manifest.
