On the web site of the Pirmasens Genealogical Study Group there is a listing of their publications of church records. For many of the publications, they also have lists of family names. They have a publication for the records of the village of Niederschlettenbach - which is between Bundenthal and Knopf. The surname of Ruf is found in this village. The Study Group will do individual lookups for you and will make copies for a small fee. This is the URL for their web site: http://home.t-online.de/home/braun.b/geneengl.html Good luck.
