In June of this year I visited Schwartzwald Reformed Church (now United
Church Of Christ [UCC]) in Exeter Twp., Berks Co. PA. There I learned
that the original church books are not open to the public. However,
there is a typed transcription of church book information in the church
office, which I was allowed to go through, taking all the time I wanted.
I found the record for my 5th great grandmother b. 1721 d. 1801 in the
transcribed record. You might find the information you seek in the typed
transcription at the church. Otherwise, you should consult the Archives
of the Evangelical and Reformed Historical Society. Their location is in
the Schaff Library on the campus of the UCC Seminary in Lancaster PA.
Their WebSite, which furnishes E-mail addresses for contacts in the E&R
Archives, is:

Hope this helps,
