Posted on: Geiger/Kiger/Kyger Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/GeigerObits/10073 Surname: GEIGER, SCHRAMM, SMITH ------------------------- Herman GEIGER b. GERMANY abt 1838 CAME to USA abt. 1846-47 To Essex county NY Then onto Phila Pa where he was naturalized in 1855. He marr. JUSTINA ?

Salü, last Sunday morning I talked by phone to Mr. Eugen Lang, co-author of the book about Boehmenkirch-Treffelhausen. He edited the article about emigration and will send along a xerox copy of it. Once I get it, I will tell you what it contains concerning Geigers. Roland Geiger, St. Wendel, Germany

Come to think of it, Gerry ... My notes on Irmadella GEIGER (b. 1868, Bradford Co., FL), dau. of Allen GEIGER and Sarah KNIGHT say: "On the Clay Co., FL, website, the Marriage List shows "GEIGER, Amudulo to MANNING, Joe, registered 6/9/1888 in Marriage Book H, Page 17" -- and repeats as "GEIGER, Annduto?" ...... Also called Armadella, Armadilla and Asmaddilla in father's probate records. ......" Then there's my Grandma GEIGER'S sister that everyone knew as Minnie. I was told that one parent wanted to name her Applis (supposedly an old family name) and the other wanted to name her Minnie, so they compromised ....yep, you got it! I think they dropped it when they realized what they had done! The closest I ever came to finding an Applis was our Apollonia [BACHER?] GEIGER ..... a bit of a stretch, I'd think.

In 1749, there was a John Jacob GEIGER recorded in Orangeburg or Saxe Gotha area of SC, with wife Arsilla ANISHANSKY and two children. I have been wondering why we can't find anything more on Arsilla, so I started doing searches at various sites on ANISHANSKY, with variations in spelling. I even checked my Swiss surnames - nothing! So far, I have come up with zilch! I will keep looking, but am beginning to wonder if someone garbled her name when extracting records. I don't have a perfect memory, but can't recall seeing any families of that ethnic type (Polish, etc.?) in that area of SC. Anne C.

Anne, I'm sorry. Since this is not my direct line, I did not make careful source notes. Also, I've had to change Gen. Programs twice recently, so what I have is in pretty sad shape right now. I'm sure somewhere I have my notes, but right now I'm up to my ears, being regent of our DAR chapter which had a state conference last weekend, and I'm planning a research trip to Salt Lake in two weeks and trying to prepare for that. (I'll be working on other families, though). As I said, the report on George was only a rumor and so please don't take it as fact until verified. There was a George, unidentified, I know, because I kept running into him. Marge rconnell wrote: > Marge, may I ask the source of your rumor about the youngest child you list > for John and Martha?

Marge & Jan?: Felix is listed in GA Deed Records as an heir of Hans Ulric Gyger (and his wife Apollonia)...however I do not beleive that she is a Seckinger...That comes from Chubb A. Geiger and his Typescript, published about 1965, wherein he says "he leans toward" that theory but does not cite his reasons...albeit Seckinger is a prominent Salzburger Family in Effingham County, GA. Last Summer, I found on the Second Salzburger Transport list, a Thomas Bacher with wife Maria, and daughters - Apollonia, and Maria(ii). The Transport Listing has a notation that Maria(ii) married Balthasar Rieser... Furthermore, Riesers are listed in the Ebenezer Record Book as being sponsors for the Baptism of two of Ulric and Appolonia's children, (Cornelius and Rachel). This is sort of like Godparents, except Lutherans did not call them Godparents...Who would be better choices to commit your children to, than your Sister and Brother-in- law. Ulric did not have any living sisters that we have identified... Anyway, with this bit of Data and a couple of other casual indicators, I believe that this Apollonia Bacher is our Great-Grandmother, wife of Ulric Gyger. >From: Marge <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [GEIGER] FL GEIGER OBITUARIES >Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 19:29:55 -0700 > >Jan, > >This is not my direct line, but according to my records John Sherwood >Geiger, b. 2 Feb 1836, d. 30 Dec 1913 "on his land at Houston Swamp >(where?)", buried with his wife in Ogilvie Cemetery, Duval Co., FL, m. 24 >Jun 1871 in Nassau Co., FL, Martha Maria Haddock, b. 24 May 1837 at Kings >Ferry, Nassau co., FL, d. 13 Aug 1912, age 75.

Marge, may I ask the source of your rumor about the youngest child you list for John and Martha? That's a pretty serious statement. My records don't agree on some points (I have John as 3rd of 8 ch.), but won't quibble - it's not my line, either. However, you have that his father Jacob GEIGER died after the Civil War and a direct desc. on this list says he died in 1850. John's grandfather Felix GEIGER was the son of Hans Ulrich GEIGER and Apollonia ____. Chubb Geiger, in his book, surmised she might have been a SECKINGER, but we've pretty well disproved that. Gerry Gieger is working on another family he feels may be hers.

Marty, you've been so quiet. Are you on the GEIGER List - and getting these messages from Roland Geiger? I think your original message was on the Query Forum. Roland, that grumpy man who hung up on you must not have been a true Geiger - we're ALWAYS interested in our roots! <g> As I said, I don't speak the language, but I lean toward your first interpretation of "Söldner" as "mercenary". My translation came from Langenscheidt's English-German Dictionary, revised 1970, which says: "Sold" = pay. "Soldat" = soldier. "Söldner" = mercenary. When I looked up "mercenary", it said that in the military sense it would be "Söldner". In an 1880 dictionary, written in Old German, it said "Sold" = military pay and "Söldling" or "Söldner" = mercenary, hireling. My guess would be that the meaning of the term changed in more recent times, into "day laborer". Perhaps Herr Oswald can clarify this point. One more thing, Marty. I found your village and now I wonder if your Geigers were among the early Swiss ones who first moved up to Germany. From the center of the Bodensee (Lake Constance) on Swiss border, if you run your eye due north you will see Stuttgart, Germany. Treffelhausen is south-east - maybe about 50-55 kms? SE out of Stuttgart, follow Rte. 10 to Süssen and turn east on 466. Go through Donzdorf, then Lauterstein, then you'll see the town of Böhmenkirch. Treffelhsn. is just west on a little road that goes south off 466 and back up to Donzdorf. Very pretty area. Anne C. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> about Treffelhausen. I called to numbers on the phone list mentioning Geiger's and the first one - well, he had no idea what I was talking of and thought I wanted to tease him when he said at the phone "Geiger, Guten Abend!" - I answered "Hier ist auch Geiger, aber aus dem Saarland" - This is also Geiger, but from the State of Saarland. I asked him about someone who researches family things and he only mentioned "I don't care for such stuff" - crack. Gone he was. Hm. Next one. "Well, I don't know anything but call my father - he might know". I called his father - Heinrich on the list - last Sunday afternoon and also he didn't know Vitus or Johannes Geiger he mentioned that the profession "Söldner" was not a mercenary or a soldier but a day labourer. A man who gets "Sold" - the old word for wages. Heinrich Geiger told me to contact a Karl Oswald, author of a history book about the community of Boehmkirch where Treffelhausen belongs to. Maybe the book mentions Emigrants from Treffelhausen. I will keep you informed. Roland Geiger, St. Wendel, Germany

I've found something interesting re other GYGER/GEIGERS to SC. On Orangeburgh Gen. Society web site at http://www.logicsouth.com/~genealogy/menu.shtml , click on Orangeburgh Family Links. There, click on "Joop GIESENDANNER" link (it's his web site). He has an awesome amount of SC material. Near the bottom, click on Book of Records Marriages 1739-1749 - Marr. 1. Go to the bottom and click on "Marriage List (1-28)". You're almost there! Marriage No. 28 is Antony ERNST To Ann Barbara GYGER - no date, but is around 1748 or so. Now here's the good part: In my data base, I have two Anna Barbara GYGERS in SWT who are not in the church books after 1725. Both are third cousins of our Hs. Ulrich GEIGER (1730-1777) of GA - all three descend from Hans GYGER and Anna ZÜST (our earliest ancestors). 1) Anna Barbara, dau. of Ulrich GYGER and Barbara KAUFMANN of Au, SG (close to Haslach), was christened 11 Aug 1720 at Berneck Evang. Church. Witnesses: Hs. Wehrnat SCHELLIG and Anna Barbara i. d. MUHR. Her mother died in July, 1735, and her father remarried in September. He died in SWT in 1743 (age 70). There were 8 surviving ch. (of 13), 4 of which cannot be accounted for in church records after 1725: Johannes GYGER b. 1702; Elisabeth GYGER b. 1710; Sebastian GYGER b. 1717, marr. 1736; and Anna Barbara GYGER. 2) Anna Barbara, dau. of Johannes GYGER and Ursula FEHR of Haslach, was christened 7 Jan 1721 at Berneck Evang. Church. Witnesses: Hs. Ulrich MESSMER and Fra. Anna Barbara in der MUHR. (I don't know what this means). Her father died in Haslach in 1742 and her mother in 1766. Also 8 surviving ch. (of 13). All are more or less accounted for in church records, except for Anna Barbara GYGER who isn't recorded after 1725. Question: did one of these marry Antony ERNST? This is a great web site for surfing - on a rainy day! Anne C.

Yes, Gerry, and it's understandable. But I feel so strongly about errors "carved in stone" that I once had an uncle's big monument lifted out of the ground and carted off to have some corrections done. Now it doesn't even show except when it rains. I'm still amazed that the cemetery let me do that! <g> Anne C. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Gieger <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2001 5:52 AM > Anne - I am not one to make disparaging remarks about those that cannot > defend themselves, namely those that are dead, HOWEVER, I tend to agree with > you that they hurried the monument, and did not get their facts > straight...OR they used data from folks who did not record their sources. > > > >From: "rconnell" <[email protected]> > > > >I'm beginning to think Herman's descendants didn't know an awful lot about > >each other when they put up that monument. > > > >Anne C.

Roland, thank you so much for doing the translation. I'm sure some of the things I couldn't figure out will be important to Marty. I enjoyed the challenge, but I wish I could come as close with the early Swiss church records! I had planned to buy a Swiss- German/English dictionary in Switzerland, but someone said they didn't have one - too many dialects to deal with. Wonder if that's really true....
