I am seeking the family of Michael Schneider and Clementina Trapp. Their daughter Catherina Schneider, born 8.8.1833, supposedly in the Rhein-Pfalz or Baden (one source says Bayern, two say Baden). Another daughter, Maria, Schneider, born 8.15.1839.

The name of the town has never been determined. Catherine came to the U.S. circa 1853 and Maria came around 1858, and they moved lived in New York and then moved on to Illinois, where they raised their families.

Catherine married a man from the Rhein-Pfalz and Maria married a man from Alsace. My Schneider/Trapps were Catholic. Would you be familiar with any Catholic Trapp lines from your research?
