This publication offers a comprehensive genealogy of the Rücker and Prihoda families, opening with the history and geography of Bohemia and the Czechs. Biographical background information for each member of the Rücker family from the first through fourth generation is given in the next section, followed by a genealogical summary. The earliest record found on the Rücker family is that of the marriage of Ignaz Rücker to Josefa Vesela in West Bohemia in 1822. Their grandson, Charles (Karel) Rücker came to America in 1886. His younger brother, Adolf, was the grandfather of the author. The earliest known event for the Prihoda family is the marriage of Jan Prihoda to Zofie Zimova in 1692. The time period covered extends from the late 17th century to the present day. The author also includes a chapter on the Rücker cemetery plot, discussing its location as well as the location of specific graves, along with a few cemetery records. The next section covers the first ten generations of the Prihoda family, offering detailed biographies for each member, highlighting their accomplishments and major life events. Following the biographical background data on each of the known family members, a genealogical summary is given using the Modified Register System. Females are referenced under their maiden and all married surnames. A total of 88 photographs and figures are scattered throughout this work to bring life to the text and preserve the legacy of these families. An index to full names, places and subjects adds value to this work.
