Hello,
I have another question for the group.
An old letter from family states that my 2nd great grandfather Carl Friedrich Prahl worked on the railroad and was killed on the railroad. Are there any records that could provide more information on this? I was always curious, but had no idea where to start, any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Details:
Carl Friedrich Prahl
Born: 11 Nov 1842 , Petzin, Flatow, West Prussia
Died: 02 Nov 1882 (also in West Prussia I believe)
His wife was: Henrietta Wilhemina Krüger
Children: Gustaf Prahl, Ida Bertha Prahl and Theodor Prahl
Here's a photo of the family that appears to have been taken 10 years after his death - right around the time they came to America in 1893.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
