There does not seem to be a documented close lineal connection between August Dvorak and composer Antonín Dvořák, although it would be reasonable to suppose some relation exists.

There's also no documented close lineal connection between John C. Dvorak and August Dvorak, any more than his birthplace being Los Angeles. Both of which are blindly-repeated, unsourced (and untrue) Wikipedia inventions.

Wikipedia sources the claim to an article by Jerry Pournelle in BYTE magazine, from 1985.

Here's the snippet in question from the magazine:

Wikipedia and Pournelle are wrong, here's John Charles Dvorak himself on November 27, 1988:

"I'm told there is a relationship, but I can't prove it."

John knows who his uncles are. His father is Walter Charles Dvorak born in Minneapolis to John Steve Dvorak (also born in Minneapolis). August Dvorak and all of his siblings (none of them Walter) were all born in McLeod County to IMMIGRANT Joseph Dvorak. If there's a connection it goes back to Bohemia.

Is that from the San Francisco Examiner? Do you have sources for the family information you mention?

Yes it is, and yes, several primary sources that anyone can easily find if they're looking in the proper places.
