Thanks so much for your reply. Since I posted that request I have gathered a great deal more information. There remains the possiblity of a family connection because that isn't a very common name.

My Frank Svach/Schwach's family is from Frystak, near Holesov in Moravia. He married Marie Simik from Lukov, a small village outside of Frystak. There is a Svach in that ancestry also. Do you have any information on where in Czechoslovakia your family is from? Bohemia or Moravia? Frank & Marie & their oldest daughter Klara immigrated through Balitmore in June 1881 on the "Leipzig" and from there to Texas. I would guess they took a transcoastal steamer as that seems much easier and faster than trying to come overland to Texas, and was a common practice at that time. If we can find any matches that would be cool. I think Frank was rather a "black sheep" from the stories I have gathered.
