Any Schuchmann folks who emigrated to Charleston SC or Louisville KY? I have Schuchmann ancestors from Reinheim, Darmstadt, and Pfungstadt, originating with our earliest known ancestor, Johann Georg Schuchmann. His son Georg Philipp (born around 1765) was my 4x great-grandfather. More information is available here: http://sakionline.net/familypage/schuchmann.shtml Let me know whether you see any familiar names.

You may be able to find out more about them (and the Rühl family) by looking at microfilm of the church records for this region. The Familysearch.com site has indexed baptism records for Jakob Rühl's and Christine Schuchmann's children in Pfungstadt, film #1195497 and #1195498. For instance, your Barbara Rühl was born Marie Barbara Rühl on 31 March 1861 in Pfungstadt. If you have a local LDS family history library you can order the microfilms and find the records, which may reveal more about the family constellation. For instance, godparents are sometimes close family members, grandparents and the like. Sometimes the records indicate the family connection. You might also find a Rühl/Schuchmann marriage record in these films, which usually include the names of the bride's and groom's parents and the groom's profession. Their first child was born in 1856 so a marriage was probably a year or two before this date. Best of luck! Regards, Debra MacLaughlan-Dumes http://sakionline.net/familypage
