As Doug has said, birth dates or at least the years would be helpful. Many of the early settlers of Katharinendorf were from Galicia, and a history of the early settlement can be found here:

The map that I posted earlier is found in this book:

One of the descendants of the book's author photographed the map and sent it to me so that I'd have a larger and easier to read copy.

My interest in Katharinendorf is the Kentels, and three are listed on the map. Andreas emigrated to Canada in 1911 and eventually was known as Andrew Kendel. I haven't figured out what's meant by multiple names attached to a house, as to whether they were former occupants or subsequent occupants. But given that Andreas appears on the map, that may push the time frame back to the around 1910.

Both the Geibs and the Schamlenbergs are found in Galician records and with birth dates Doug could check to see if he has any information on the couple. Without some additional research into the Czernowitz parish records, which included Katharinendorf, it's hard to say how long the families that you're interested in had been in Bukovina.

If you decide to dive in and look at the old parish records, here's the group you'll need to look at:

Taufen is the German word for baptisms, Heiraten is marriages, and Tote is deaths. Übertretungen is a list of conversions between Roman Catholic and Lutheran.

To cover marriages and births for the 1872 to 1913 time period it will be necessary to rent two microfilms. A typical birth record from that time period usually includes not only the names of the parents, but also their parents and marriage records have the names for the parents of the bride and groom.
