MaryWright54 December 23
my great grandfather was Jacob moentenich Bn muden germany. February 1851His father was Johann peter moentenich and his wife was Anna maria breitbach. Jacob was a. Carpenter and was working on a ship in Antwerp Belgium when he married in 1881 and had my grandmother in 1882 then came to usa in 1883. I need help in finding Johan peter moentenich s family in muden. I can’t go any further back and also any of family where are they buried. I have never found a middle name for Jacob I’m guessing Peter but none of the records I have doesn’t list anything but Jacob or jacques
Thank you for any help

The church books for Müden do not seem to be available online, neither the Catholic ( https://data.matricula-online.eu/de/deutschland/) nor the Protestant ( https://www.archion.de/en/search). The area was mostly catholic.
The Catholic records of St. Stephanus in Müden are kept in the in the Diocesan Archive (Bistumsarchiv) in Trier ( https://www.bistum-trier.de/archiv/start/), see reference book p. 275 ( chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.bistum-trier.de/export/sites/portal/archiv/.galleries/dokumente/Kirchenbuchverzeichnis_Januar2024.pdf ). Probably a personal visit to the archive would be necessary.
There is also an Ortsfamilienbuch (local family book) for Müden: https://wiki.genealogy.net/M%C3%BCden_(Mosel)_2022,_OFB. The book contains all families of Müden since the beginning of the church register records. It is available for purchase, but will only be printed on demand. One of the authors is Erich Möntenich (erich.moentenich@t-online.de). You may want to contact him by email.
