To List and Anita, I finally figured out to my satisfaction whom the parents of my ancestor Mathias Jung (1818 to 1870) of Offsenitza were. They were Nicholaus Jung (c.1779 to 1831) and Ursula Lohr (1790 to 1831) who both died at Offsenitza due to the chorea plague. (Ursula Lohr was born in  1790 at Zichydorf.) My reasoning is as follows. 1.    Mathias Jung died 8 June 1870 at Offsenitza at the age of 52 years, making him both in 1818. His place of origin/birth was stated to be Offsenitza. The only possible father he would have had who was in Offsenitza in 1818 was Nicholaus Jung or Mathias Jung (c.1769/1772 to 1859). 2.    I think that Mathias was a frateral twin brother to Katharina Jung, daughter of Nicholaus and Ursula, both were baptised at Offsenitza on Friday 2 January 1818, but the baptism entry was not written correctly. The priest of his clerk wrote in heavy ink the date of the baptism and only the name Catherina in haste it looks like. Later the rest of the entry was completed in lighter ink (a different pen nib) without mentioning Mathias. The next day (3 January  1818) a Mathias Felsich (? the spelling of the surname) was baptised and I think the recorder may have thought only one boy named Mathias was baptised in that period, omitting Mathias Jung. 3.    Peter Jung (1813 to 1872), older son of Nicholaus and Ursula Jung, married in May of 1831, Margaretha Kilcher (1813 to 1831), daughter of Sebastian Kilcher and his wife Elisabeth Aschenbrenner of Offsenitza. Margaretha and both her parents also died in Offsenitza in October of 1831 of the plague. My Mathias married a younger daughter of Sebastian and Elisabeth Kilcher, Anna (1824 to 1899) in February of 1841 at Offsenitza. So Mathias loosing a sister and his parents to chorea in 1831 and Anna loosing a sister and her parents in the same event would have them experiencing a common disaster which would have made it a factor leading to their marriage. 4.    The Jungs who settled in the Parry area of Saskatchewan (including Susanna Jung Krumenaker of McTaggart, SK), descendants of Mathias Jung (c.1769/1772 to 1859) and my family of Jungs who settled at Yellow Grass/Lang, SK (Sebastian Jung [1860 to 1938], son of Mathias [1818 to 1870]), always maintained they were related. It is possible that Nicholaus Jung was a younger brother of Mathias and that both brothers settled at Offsenitza in about 1807. Luckly, Mathias in his 80s married for a fourth time on 8 February 1859 at Offsenitza some six months before he died on 25 August 1859. On this marriage entry it states his father was Jacob Jung and his mother was Marie Agnetis (Agnes) and that Mathias' place of origin was Alsatia (Alsace). So to find his baptism record in Alsace if possible and maybe see if he had an younger brother named Nicholaus. Darrel Hockley Regina, SK, Canada
