Hi Devorah
My Family Ingwersen do not match your, but I know the situation in
Bredstedt in "Schleswig Holstein" this is the State in Germany to the
Dansk border. The contact for you is the
Ev.-luth. Kirchenkreis Husum-Bredstedt
Postfach 1310
25803 Husum
Germany

My wife and I will go to north Germany in August this year
and also we will search the Bredstedt Parrish books, if you wish
we can see wether your dates are correct.
If you are searching ancestors in that area you must know, the naming
convention in times befor 1771 have been very difficult to research.
The sons and daughters drived their surnames from the firstname of the
father. So the surname Ingwersen is for sure a first name Ingwer of one
of the forfathers. I hope this helps and you can email to
an answer if you wish. Reiner
