Teschen, Austria

Surnames: Skrobanek
My g-g-grandfather, John Sarkanter Skrobanek, came from Teschen, Austria. I understand that the town is now split between Poland and Czech Republic. John earned a masters degree in horticulture and served as a florist to the royal family. Where might you suggest that I start to research this claim by his cousin?

Would anyone know the meaning of the name Skrobanek? One source says it means "bug" and another source breaks it down and says "Skro" means servant of royal family and "Banek" was the actual surname.
