Barbara,
Yes we are very lucky that these records survived.But I believe the originals still exist and are probably stored somewhere in the archives of a Catholic Historical Society - perhaps in Pennsylvania.I recall reading transcriptions of these records a few years ago and in a book that didn't seem that old - although it could have been a reprint.But I do believe a few Ruffner researchers (some now deceased) have looked at the originals in the last few decades - somewhere.But to make sense of them, a reader would probably have to understand German and/or Latin and 18th century script.That rules me out.But I'm hoping someone takes a second look sometime.Thank you for helping.
