Jane,
There is a publication: "Pennsylvania German Church Records"of births,
baptisms, marriages, burials, etc. published in three volumes by the
Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, 1983.
In Vol. III are the records of the Tohickon Reformed and Lutheran
Congregations that used the Tohickon Union Church. You should be able to
find a copy in any Genealogy section of a public library. This is also
available at many Latter Day Saint local libraries.
Also, a publication by John T. Humphrey; "Pennsylvania Births, Bucks Co.,
1682 - 1800" contains birth records of the Tohickon Union Church.
Both of these sources are probably available at local libraries.
What Surnames in what time period are you looking for? Possibly I can tell
you if they are listed in the records.
The church records are also at Spruance Library which is the library of the
Bucks Co. Historical Society. The address is
Spruance Library
84 S. Pine St.
Doylestown, PA 18901
Phone: 215-345-0210
Hope this helps.
