You may get some help on the surname from someone who is connected with genealogy in Klattau. Robert Froetschl, a German researcher, goes there from time to time and may have a surname database.

Thanks, Karen! I'll try that. Jakob Smith was looking into it for me, but didn't get anywhere in Pilsen. I haven't heard from him in a while, but since he graduated, hopefully his career is taking off! I'll try Robert and then Peter. Thanks!!
