How do I obtain the baptismal record for my great-grandmother?
She was a native of Lennep, Germany. Her name was Caroline Louise Berger at birth, which was 21 November 1838. I know that she was a native of Lennep because her sister's obituary stated that the sister was from Lennep. The sister's name was Josephine Berger and her birth date was 1 November 1830. Both of their death certificates indicate that their father was Joseph Berger.
All of the records at the FamilySearch Library for Lennep are locked. I'd really appreciate it if someone could look at the Catholic church books for Lennep and see if these two ladies are there. If possible I would also like to have copies of the records. I would love to know the name of their mother as well.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Carole Hinders

Have you looked at the FamilySearch Wiki page for church records in Rhineland?https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Rhineland_(Rheinland),_German_Empire_Church_Records

Thank for your response. I have looked at the Rhineland church records wiki and I believe I found the address for the Catholic Church I am seeking. I have saved the information on how to write a letter to my phone.
