Will,
Most of my German ancestors who settled in the area of what is now Bally, Berks Co., PA and formerly known as Goshenhoppen, were Catholics.  Their baptisms, marriages and deaths were recorded and later put into a book called The Goshenhoppen Registers 1741-1819.  That is where I got most of my information about the Schmit, Kuhn and Greenawalt families.  The original records were in Latin and German.  They spelled the names as they were in German.  Grunewald with an umlaut on the U. When children were baptized they usually got the names of the sponsor.  If there were too many Marys some went by their second name.  Thus Mary Barbara Greenawalt sometimes went by Barbara, Mary Barbara and Mary.  Here is her ancestry:

[ [ I had posed this next question to Bernie, trying to trace back on my female-to-female lineage. ] ]
Anna Barbara Kuhn. You wouldn't happen to have the information regarding her mother, would you?

That's as far back as the records go. The Goshenhoppen Registers start with 1741, but even that is a rare blessing. There are few records before that still existing in Pennsylvania unlike Massachusetts that has records from 1620. There may still be other records around that I have not found. It was suggested in the book Catholic Trails West that there were Kuhn, Schmidt families in New York state who arrived in 1709 and later moved down to Pennsylvania, but there were no solid clues.
