Maria Mensching was born in House #1 in Nordbruch, Hesse-Kassel, the same house her father was born in, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him, and who knows how many more generations before him (the written records run out). She was thus breaking tradition when she moved to Indiana to become matriarch of the Carl Hitzemann family.
