The last of the Fegers, was
Oscar who died around 1930. He must have an illegitimate son, also Oscar. The mother of this son was Eva
Seifert or similar. I do not know anything about
her or Oscar. Also I am not sure of the names
spelling.
The older Oscar was the
last "landlord" in Mercydorf. His
father was the son of a coppersmith in Ujvidek
now Novi Sad. In 1874, he was a grain merchant
and earned enough to buy the real estate (I'm not
sure if this is the right term) of Mercydorf and
Zsadany (this is the neighbor village Cornesti
now). After his death it was inherited by his 4
children and his widow. His son Oscar was the
youngest and remained in Mercydorf. In 1921,
Banat became part of Romania, the new state has
nationalized big parts of the property.
