In Germany this surname is spelled GIENGER and describes someone originally being from the town of Giengen in the formerly province of Wuerttemberg which is now a part of the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The interactive atlases http://www.mapquest.com and http://www.expediamaps.com might show you where Giengen is located. BUT.....you should know that people IN Giengen never had been called Gienger. They got these surnames when moving to another area. At home, in Giengen, they mostly had just a first name, nothing else. -- Best regards/Gruss, Johannes Sempert BUNDESWEITER INTERNETSTREIK AM 01.
