Michael; You already got the info on the parish records from another response to your query. Here is a little more info. The Catholic Church in Uchtelfangen is St. Josef. It is a huge church and I honestly believe that everyone in that village can fit in it at one time. Of course, it serves several villages to the north which are a part of the parish. I will send you an email with an attachment color photo of the church taken in June of last year. If you find ancestors there that go back to the beginning of those in the St. Josef parish records, next try St. Stephen Church in Illingen. It is much older than St. Josef and the parish of St. Josef was formed from part of St. Stephen in about 1745 so your earlier ancestors who lived in the Uchtelfangen area probably went to church at St. Stephen prior to about 1745. Incidently, to say that St. Stephen is much older than St. Josef is an understatement. It dates to the 13th century and is built on the site of a Roman temple. Some of the old sculptured Roman stones are incorporated into the church construction. Registres paroissiaux, Baptêmes, mariages, sépultures 1686-1754 VAULT INTL Film 625602 Vince Falter
