I am amazed at this coincidence in names as my great-grandfather was William Frederick Draeger. His wife was Agusta Nuemeir.My grandfather was Julius Carl Draeger.They did drop the e in Draeger. Julius was born July 2, 1873 in Posen Prov., West Prussia. He came to this country as a very young man (about 15-17 yrs of age).He settled in New Jersey and married my grandmother, Marie Zurcher, from Switzerland.My mother was Alma Drager. Had brothers: David, Julius, Arnold.All lived in New Jersey but yet there must be a connection to the Drager you write about.Are you a Drager? What other relatives are there in that area? Please let me know.I am so interested!
