Marilyn, the source for this information was Mr. Hans Rieber, the local historian, who wrote a booklet about the families of Gross-Aurach and lives there today. He was given access to the Catholic church records by the church in Aurach (Sankt Petrus und Paulus) to compile the data. The church was mentioned first in official records in the year 1301. Mr. Rieber sent me excerpts from the booklet for my own family, he hopes the booklet can be reprinted, it is out of print right now. I am thinking about posting an ad in the local paper to see if anyone may want to part with their copy. His address: Am Gwend 13,91589 Aurach. He did not find the name of Hans (=Johann) Schlundt's first wife.
