[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Dreger

[Jerry Frank]

Not sure why the original poster considers that Semler might be an 
alternative to Drager.  I suspect that it may have to do with a 
transliteration problem or questionable entry rather than a real spelling 
alternative.  You would have to review the original record to determine 
what was going on here.
