Hello Dave, I agree with Rene that "Inge" is an incomplete reference to a town or village. For one of the better German genealogical gazetteers I recommend the Genealogisches Ortsverzeichnis (GOV) on the website of the Verein fuer Computergenealogie (Association for Computer genealogy). Their English-language search page is at: http://gov.genealogy.net/Locale.do?language=en&country=us Greetings from California, Michael
