Dear Kathryn! For a starter you -could click on SwissGenNews; http://www.eye.swissgen/news-m.htm - pick "22 July 2022: Canton Aargau: Summary of Church Records filmed by LDS." -Click on LDS. Of course you'd have to order and view any of those microfilms at your nearest LDS Family History Center. Check in "Familysearch.org for your nearest FHC. Since you have a Schmid / Schmied /Schmidt to contend with, ( you poor thing ;-), you will certainly have to do a lot of verifying through "maiden names of wives/mothers" etc. to get on the right track. Hopefully among those will be some unusual surnames!
