KNAUSS family of Ku00fcrnbach, Baden

I have now traced my husband's KNAUSS family back to Weinfelden, Switzerland. Jacob KNAUSS, son of Georg KNAUSS, of Weinfelden, married Anna Maria BERTSCH, daughter of Hans BERTSCH, of Lichtenau, Baden, on 01 November 1653, in Kürnbach, Baden. It seems odd that they were married (& settled down) in Kürnbach; but it was only a few years after the THIRTY YEARS WAR, so perhaps that had something to do with it. I have a microfilm from Weinfelden on order at my local FHC, but in the meantime, if anyone has any connection or information on this family, please contact me. Thank you.
