Hello Phyllis, I am not from the Waldmuenchen area, but my wife has ancestors there. You can find more about them on my website: http://www.m.shuttle.de/rusch/BLF/R-1670.html As for the church books of that area, they are all kept in the archives of the Diocese of Regensburg. The church books of the Waldmuenchen parish go back to 1582.
