I recommend you post a surname query via GenConnect
on: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Austria/General

BTW: there are lots of Gregors in Austria. See phone directory:
http://www.etb.at/
but keep in mind that it's not an unusual surname -- so there might no link at
all.

There is, for example, a CSENGOD in today's Hungary and a ZUNGUT in Russia.
I recommend you search using ShtetlSeeker:

The Stary/Nowy suggests a Slav language -- which would possibly exclude
Hungary (unless somewhere on the Slovak border).
Good luck,
