Hi Pryse, The Pirmasens Genealogical Society has their own web page at http://home.t-online.de/home/braun.b/genealog.htm They publish and also have access to a large number of family books for the region including the "Sippenbuch der Stadt Pirmasens von 1640 - 1798". This book has a large listing of Schneiders and one for Schlick but due to the time gap between the book and your information, I am unable to make a connection. Do get in touch with the above mentioned society. I have been dealing with Bernhard Braun for several years now nad have always found him to be most helpful. Good luck with your research.
