Kunz history connected

After much search we found the village of Budesheim, Germany.  Jim and I believed this was the home town of most of the Kunz heritage, after studying our ancestral records.  So we went to the Church, Sts. Aureus and Justina.  By chance the pastor, Fr. Norbert Kley, was coming to open the Church.  In a short while he looked up the records and took us to the cemetery.  We found a number of Kunz graves but the names of our family date back to the 1700's and are beyond records.  But entering the  Church was a holy moment.  It has obviously been renovated but dates back to the 1700"s.  The baptistry appears to be an original.  We stood of awe of standing in the place of the roots of faith and family for us.  Besides that, it was mom's birthday.  Even though a Lenhoff in name, she became a part of the Kunz clan in a big way.  We prayed with all our ancestors.  We ended with a good German lunch in Budesheim.
