[Surname] ethnicity
My forebearers came to U.S. with the name of Prysock or Prisock. Does anyone know if this name is Czechoslovakian?

The first American Prisock came from Germany as you can see at http://tr.im/BlPm. Early spellings include Preisoc and Preisoch, and that leads to the German name Preisach.
