-The Ungerecht name is a rare name, both in the U.S. and in Germany. ​ Out of 2.6 million immigrants that arrived in the 1860'​s,​ the only Ungerechts were our family. ​ The only Ungerecht ​that died in Vietnam is one of ours. In Germany the name is only found right around Meiningen, in the Thuringian Forest in central Germany, which was just inside the East German border. ​ (See this search of modern phone records: [[http://​www.verwandt.de/​karten/​absolut/​ungerecht.html]]).  There were two families that emigrated to the U.S. from this area, but any link between them is not known at this time.  The other family settled in Tennessee, with some members moving on to Texas. +Read more about the [[Ungerecht name]].

-The name in German translates to "​unjust"​ or "​unfair"​ ("​recht"​ is related to the English "​right",​ so literally it's related to unrighteous). ​ This might be why it is rare But rare is a good thing for a genealogist!+

 This is definitely incomplete, but it is known that a Kaspar Ungerecht served (likely drafted) into the army at the time that Napoleon controlled that region of Germany, and died in the service in 1811.  He was an uncle to Johann Valentin (b.1826). ​ The Ungerechts emigrated to the U.S. right at the end of the Civil War so they missed serving in that conflict. ​ We know Richard Ungerecht died in Vietnam, and Jerry Ungerecht served there. ​ Peter Jirasko served in the Gulf War and numerous others have served during peaceful times. This is definitely incomplete, but it is known that a Kaspar Ungerecht served (likely drafted) into the army at the time that Napoleon controlled that region of Germany, and died in the service in 1811.  He was an uncle to Johann Valentin (b.1826). ​ The Ungerechts emigrated to the U.S. right at the end of the Civil War so they missed serving in that conflict. ​ We know Richard Ungerecht died in Vietnam, and Jerry Ungerecht served there. ​ Peter Jirasko served in the Gulf War and numerous others have served during peaceful times.
