Hi, Penn Brezhon. "Zackig" means snappy, tough, taut, strapping, always standing in attention...
K.u.k. means "Kaiserlich und königlich" - an abreviation used in Austrian-hungarian double monarchy.Empire of Austria and kingdom of Hungary. K.u.k. monarchy, K.u.k. office clerks and officers etc.
Hitler didn't like that something about his ancestors comes to public. I think he was ashamed of these poor bad educated and "primitive" guys. Maybe he feared that there was an unethical story or something else. He left his family and dreamed of becoming a great painter, architekt or something else. But in fact he hadn't any success before WW I
And is half-brother Alois and his nephew Patric were dubious.
Not very fine for a great Führer.
Alois jun. descendants in USA decided to have no children and let the family line die out. But I think (don't know) there must be some descendants of Adolf`s sister Angela still today in Germany.
In Austria there are several Hiedlers, but I do't know if they are related to Adolf or from another Hiedler famillies.

Regarding one of Hitler's family being of Czech origin, Wikipedia says:
Johann Nepomuk Hiedler (also known as Johann Nepomuk Hüttler) was named after a Bohemian saint, Johann von Nepomuk. Some view this name as evidence that Johann Nepomuk and therefore his great-grandson Adolf Hitler had some Czech blood. However, Johann von Pomuk/Johann Nepomuk was an important saint for Bohemians of both German and Czech ethnicity. The name "Nepomuk" merely indicates ties to Bohemia, without indication of ethnicity.

All family records show that Hitler's family were Austrian Germans (German-speaking Austrians that identified themselves as ethnic Germans) and the idea of his grandfather being a Jew has long been refuted despite it still popping up from time to time. Hitler wasn't of Jewish or Czech origin.

Hitler's father was a Shicklgruber but Adolf himself was not born with that surname.

Interesting to note is that a pamphlet was issued in 1932 about Adolf Hitler titled "Facts and Lies about Hitler", which covered the alleged 'Czech Hitler' rumour and says:
“Hitler — A Czech!”

Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn. Those opponents who spread the lie of a “Czech Hitler” depend on the confusion of Braunau am Inn with the Braunau in Czechoslovakia. Braunau am Inn is on the Bavarian border, with only the Inn River between them. It is over 80 kilometers as the crow flies to the Czech border, twice as much as the distance between Dresden and the Czech border. Up until the second half of the 18th century, Braunau belonged to Bavaria.

Hitler, therefore, was born within Greater Germany. Both parents are of German blood. They could not even speak Czech (and Hitler lived many years of his youth with his parents on Reich German soil, in Passau). Hitler became a German citizen before he became a candidate for Reich President by act of the National Socialist government in Braunschweig. He himself always refused to ask the Reich government to give to him what it gave without hesitation to tens of thousands of Galician Jews, even though he had long-since earned it through four years of service at the front in the German army during the war.
