Little did I know....
Five years ago, as a
results of a message I posted, Dave Dreyer responded with the below
information regarding the Ingrisch Family of Mercydorf and their
families. Little did I know that I had met one of the descendants
during my trip in 1999 and one day I would sit in the house number 327,
the home of Hans & Mari Hermann May 2004. Then in March 2005 I would
locate the sister of my Great Grandfather Martin Ingrisch, Christine
Ingrisch married to Jacob Unterweger, their son was
Josef Ingrisch + Anna M
Lamping. Small world.

Jody;
I suspect that your warm fuzzy
feeling was just in your head. According to the Einwohner list as of 1940-1945 in the Mercydorf Heimatbuch there were the following Ingrisch families; MAN WIFE KIDS HOUSE NUUMBER Martin Ingrisch + Anna Pfau 41 Jakob Ingrisch + Margaret Bien Jakob 42 with mother-in-law, Elisabeth Bien
Franz Ingrisch + Elisabeth Leidl Franz, Peter, Elis 120
Josef Ingrisch + Anne M Lamping 183 Franz Ingrisch + Maria Schiebinger 204 Peter Ingrisch + Margaret Luperger Peter 196 Peter Ingrisch + Elisabeth Till 301
Jakob Ingrisch + Susanna Mehrfeld 327 Also in HN 327 lived Peter Fedrich, wife Maria Ingrish, kid Maria.
I count nine Ingrisch families in Mercydorf at this time. There are no Ingrisch families in a parish list of 1794. Since
immigration to the Banat was over by 1794 they likely came to
Mercydorf from another Banat locality. There is a very poor
Ortsplan in the book and one cannot establish the location of
individual houses but one can work out which street a couple of the
houses were on. For example, houses 32 and 41 were on Zigeuner gasse (Gyspy Ally). I
suspect, not a great location to live. HN 301 was on Berg Scharifeck.
