From all the research material I can find, it appears many of the Prokosch families made their living as farmers, at least back as far as eight generations ago.  They brought this skill to the United States, where it continues today…  

One of the main challenges that I continue to try to resolve is: Are all the Prokosch families related?  My search for an answer started in Europe.  Four or five of the (Minnesota & Wisconsin) Prokosch family lines lived within a only a few kilometers of each other in Austria / Bohemia.  While I am still trying to connect these branches of the tree, it sure seems logical that we are related to these other Prokosch lines… cousins, uncles and aunts?  Back then, the families were very large and it was not uncommon for heads of households to remarry and have second and even third families.  As can be expected, siblings can have disputes, and many of these half brothers and sisters ultimately chose different paths in life.

Like many of their neighbors in the old country, they resettled in a similar climate and started their trades of farming, harness-making & blacksmiths…
