Where is the Prokosch family from?

October 21, 2010 by Admin Leave a Comment

For years I have been entertained with peoples attempt to pronounce “PROKOSCH”.  Half the time they mumble something and put a “ski” on the end.  NO it is not Polish… and there is no ski on the end!  So if you are a telemarketer and call me asking “Is Mr.  Pro%^&SKI  there?”   My answer will likely be “no he isn’t.”  

If you ask me what the origin of the Prokosch name is, I would say we are German-Austrians…

My Prokosch family was from a small farming village in the province of Bohemia in the Austrian Empire, a few kilometers from the border of the old East Germany.  The people living in this area spoke German as their native tongue and from the stories I have heard, believed they were German.  At that time in history, it was not unusual for the country borders to move around a bit as treaties were negotiated, wars ensued and governments changed.

 
 
Our ancestral village was known as Trohatin (German name). A very quaint rural farming area with rich soil and rolling hills used for raising crops and grazing cattle.  It is mountainous and heavily forested to the West.  Just after WWII, all the Germans were expelled from the country.  Many of the villages were destroyed and the remaining villages were renamed with Czech names… Trohatin is now known as Drahotin (Czech name). Location: Loc: 49°31’52.549″N, 12°46’35.566″E, about 90 kilometers Southwest of Plzen in the Czech Republic.  Here is a link for a Czech mapping search engine Mapy.cz.  Feel free to zoom in or zoom out to get your bearings…
