Janet,
It was a custom with German's to give their children 2 names, and then they
went by the middle name. For example your George Schall was actually John
George, and if he had any brothers their first name would also be John. So I
am willing to bet that your Elizabeth given name was Catherine Elizabeth and
she went by Elizabeth.
Also many were named for their sponsors. For the birth of your Catherine
Elisabetha the sponsors were Georg Kuntz and Elisa Margretha.
I have the sponsors for the other births if you are interested.
Also anyone out that would like a look up I have a CD of church records
1600-1800, of Berks, Bucks, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Phildelphia, and
York Counties.
