Yes, I received information from the town hall. Friedrich Wollmerhauser, genealogist who has down work for me searched the land records for me. I do not know the house my grandfather lived in. His parents were Xaver and Maria Anna (Zimmerer) Schneider in Urloffen. They were both born in 1835 and both died in 1865. My grandfather (Franz Xaver Schneider) was appointed a guardian named Anton Ulsaß but I do not know if he lived with him or other relatives? Anton also sold the land he inherited with my grandfather's permission in 1883 after he had immigrated to the US.

That was basically what I got out of the Google Translate page. Although the translation was a bit rough. There is a neat feature of Google translate. There is a little link under the translation where you can suggest a better translation. I'm not sure how this is or if incorporated into Google translate, but by suggesting changes, the translator may get better over time.
