Thanks for the reply. Yes you spelled it right, I have no way to type the mark above the s. My distant relative in CZ did the research at the Czech archive in Prague back to 1620. He said there was a little more information but the corner of page was torn and was lost from the book. The soldier in the Holy Roman Army of the 30 Years war seems to be the starting point of the name. Maybe he was German or maybe he really liked Risling wine. Somewhere along the line I got 8% Irish DNA that I can't explain.
