The Genealogy
NOTE: The number preceding each name reflects
the generation of Prasses in America. Dashed lines mean the end of one family
line and a return to a previous generation.
NOTES: There are two distinct families in this group and their relationship to each other is as yet unknown. August C. Prasse could very well be the cousin of Herman Karl Prasse. Herman's family most likely followed August's family to America and they both initially settled in Carnegie, Pennsylvania in the early 1890s.
