Trying to remember where I saw the reference that he stated he was from Presburg, but there are many sources (naturalization papers for one) that state that he was born in Moderdorf.
Here is a link to a cool site that lists common surnames from Presburg and a map of its location which is now a town called Komarov.

There are no Suris listed in Moderdorf from 2005 or 1715, but there is a large gap of time that needs researched.
John and Antionet Sury's naturalization papers state that they last lived in Vienna, Austria. Grandma Rose was baptized in the Vienna Cathedral.
Could John Schury's parent's parents be from Presburg and then have moved to Moderdorf? (Since there are several sources that state that he was born in Moderdorf.) Then did John Schury move to Austria prior to immigration to the U.S.?
Where did he meet Antionette Jadernik, who was from Cechtice, Central Bohemia?
Too many questions - asked too late.
