Dear Mr. Prager, My Grandfather William Jung of Queens New York was born in Ronneburg Thur. and had a friend Paul Prager. My Mother visited Ronneburg with her parents in 1926 and they visited Mr. Prager's mother outside of Ronneburg. I have some photos of Mr. Prager.He had one son. I can no longer remember his wife's name. She had jet black hair and was a very lively and humourous person. I have been to Ronneburg in Thuringia myself many times. Let me know if this is your family.

You may want to contact "Tom and Mary LeClerc" who has done much research on the Prager family lines going back to Jan Pragr in Czech. She published a family history "CZECH-ing IN" which you might want to look at.

My personal research interest is in the Czech immigrants who have ties to Tama county in Iowa.
