| The tradition in Germany is to rent a grave for a period of time (such as 20 years), and then re-use the grave. So there are no old tombstones to look at. There was, however, a recent tombstone for the family of Fritz Ungerecht. Matthias was pretty certain all Ungerechts in Helba are descended from [[1697_johcasu|Johann Caspar Ungerecht]], so Fritz has to be some degree of cousin. | The tradition in Germany is to rent a grave for a period of time (such as 20 years), and then re-use the grave.
