Nancy, well she could have been born in Orwigsburg and her parents could have been from Reading. I would suspect some sort of tie to Berks due to her church affiliation there. Please let us know what you find when you check the films. Pay attention to the family of Adam Geyer/Geiger in the Trinity records. Just a slightly educated guess that this may be her family. Joan

Joan, thank you for your suggestions on finding Joseph Geiger in NY. I also did not know that "Kiger" is a possible variation of the name. I have 2 Kigers in my family records in Pennsylvania. An Annie Zeiser, daughter of Antonia's brother, married a William Kiger in Sunbury PA. I have no marriage date, but they had a son Edward Kiger born 1905, died 1944. Edward left no children, but perhaps Annie and William had more. may be a clue for someone. Susan sbiedron@starnetusa.net

Looking for data in regards to Mary Jane Kiger, 1840 to 1927, Daughter of William W Kiger and Margaret McKinley, Amanda Twp, Fairfield County Ohio. Married to William Henry Harrison Yakey on 7-25-1865. Mary Jane died in Shelbyville, Illinois and had supposedly had 5 children, I can only find 1 named Phoebe 1873-1953. Looking for other children names and spouse, as well as data on her husband.

Somehow I missed part of the Material on Joseph Geiger but thought I'd report on what I found on him tonight. In search 7A it shows the following Joseph Geigers 1880-Columbia Co., WA page 449 New Tacoma twp 1860-Davidson Co/., TN page 334 Nashville Ward 1 1870 there is a Joseph Giger in Dakota Co., MN page 372 Rosemund another in NezPerce Co., ID twp 38 in 1878-1880,1884 Hope this helps some of you. Helene

Joan: In 1840 according to the AIS search for 1840 there were 2 Isaac Geigers. One in Fayette Co., VA page 115 and the second was in Union Co., OH page 016 . 1850: there was one listed in Hanks Co.

Cindy, actually it is now 2:27 AM and I still have one eye open also. I hadn't really been thinking about YOUR John Geyer/Geiger but I do see your John and Christina DID have a son John born 26 Aug. 1796 shown on your group sheet. Do you have any more on him? He could be a candidate to be the one in Orwigsburg in 1820 and be Sarah's father, maybe? But the one I had really been considering as a possible is YOUR John's (who married Christina) brother Christopher's son John baptized at Trinity Lutheran, Reading, Berks Co. on 16 June 1792. Do you have anything on him at all? All I have is what is in the files that Barbara Campbell sent me--which only includes his baptismal record. He would be 30 years old when Sarah Geier/Geiger was born in Orwigsburg (and remember there is a John Geiger on the 1820 census living there) so age wise it would fit. I just can't shake the feeling she is a part of this family--with the surname confusion. We don't know for sure whether Christopher and John's father Adam was really a Geyer or a Geiger. The records are about 50/50 which would fit with the records in Sarah's family--plus she died in Reading--the home turf of this family. Any further thoughts (obviously not at this hour of the morning)? Joan

Thanks Helene, with that information I will be able to check both Isaac Kigers at the Archives in Philadelphia. It really could be either one. Joan

I forgot to mention that Sarah Geier married Michael Freehafer about 1844 probably in Schuylkill Haven. -----Original Message----- From: Nancy J. Freehafer [SMTP:freehafer@alltel.net] Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 1998 5:44 PM To: 'geiger-l@rootsweb.com' Subject: Sarah Geier/Geyer/Gier Hi, I am looking for any information about Sarah Geier, my GG Grandmother. She was born about December 08, 1822 (according to her death certificate) in Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County. According to her obituary (she d. June 26, 1900 in Reading, Berks Co. PA), she had a brother, Thomas Geier (spelled Geiger in the obit) of Philadelphia. She also had three surviving sisters: Mrs. Jacob Fryer of Philadelphia. Mrs. Porter Case of Chicago, and Mrs. William Fryer of Milton. Unfortunately I have no given names for any of the sisters, just their married names. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might recognize any of these names or help provide any leads. Thanks. Nancy Freehafer

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who > might recognize any of these names or help provide any leads. In view of Nancy's query I would like to point out 2 things. First of all in my research I have found numerous occasions in which the surnames Geyer/Geier and Geiger have been used almost interchangeably. Geyer/Geier is a surname on its own and is not the same as Geiger--BUT the two surnames are often misspelled and used interchangeably and in some cases appear to possibly have been changed from one to the other permanently. In view of this I want to point out to all of you that there is another new list for the surname Geyer and all of its variants and those of you who are researching questionable surnames as Nancy is may want to subscribe to both lists to provide yourself with the best chance of finding more about your ancestors. The listowner of the Geyer list is Dave Rankin and he can be reached at: daverk@gte.net. He will be happy to provide you with information on how to subscribe to GEYER- L@rootsweb.com. For those of you familiar with Rootsweb lists the subscription instructions are the same for all of the lists. Second, I checked the 1820 census index for Schuylkill County, PA where Sarah Geier was born in 1822 and found only one listing for Geier/Geyer or Geiger in Orwigsburg Borough and that is for a John Geiger. However, also in Schuylkill in Brunswick Township in 1820 was a Henry Geyer. So it is possible that one of the two is Sarah's father. It would also appear from the obituary that there was more than occasional confusion in this family between Geyer/Geier and Geiger. This confusion between Geyer and Geiger in this family and the fact that Sarah died in Reading, Berks County make me believe she may be from the family of Adam Geyer/Geiger of Alsace Township, Berks County--there was always confusion between Geyer and Geiger in that family. Adam had a son Christopher who married Catharina Harf/Hurff and they had a son Johannes born in 1792 who would appear to possibly be the John Geiger on the 1820 census record. Cindy--are you paying attention to this query? Could this John be the one from this family? Do you know if that John had a daughter Sarah, or where he lived in 1820? Joan

Joan have you checked the AIS for Isaac? I can if you have not. Helene Subject: [GEIGER-L] Isaac Kiger Date: Tue, 9 Jun 1998 00:31:29 EDT From: JYoung6180@aol.com To: GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com I am looking for information on an Isaac Kiger (or possibly even Geiger or other spelling) who was born about 1800-1810 (probably closer to 1800 as the 1830 census shows him with a female age 20-30--most likely his wife and two children--a male under age 5 and a female betwen 10 and 15 (which is why I would place him as being born closer to 1800 than to 1810--assuming these children are the children of this couple). Isaac and family are living in Greene County, PA in 1830 and then they disappear from the area never to be heard from again. Family tradition says that they went either to Indiana or Oklahoma. Does anyone know of an Isaac and family who fit this discription who show up in a new area after 1830? Joan ______________________________

I am looking for my great grandmother's older sister, Antonia Geiger, nee Zeiser. Antonia Zeiser was born in Neukirch, Württemberg about 1842. She married Joseph Geiger, probably from Schömberg, Württemberg. Joseph was a tailor. They came to the US in 1867. They had at least one son, William and were living in New York City from the 1890's until at least 1909. I have not found Antonia in any census records and there are too many William Giegers. The family was Catholic. sound familiar to anyone? Susan Biedron sbiedron@starnetusa.net

Joseph was a > tailor. They came to the US in 1867. Susan, I don't know if this will help in any way or not but I have the 1860 census index for Geigers in NY (I know your Geigers didn't arrive until 1867) but it may help to know where Joseph Geigers were in NY prior to your Joseph coming here to help you find where the new arrival fits in for 1870. There are only 2 Joseph Geigers in all of NY state on the 1860 census: One in Kings County, NY in 16 W. Brooklyn 3D on page 724 of the census record. Living in the same district were several Geyers but no other Geigers. The second Joseph Geiger spells his name Giger on this record and is located in Rensselaer Co. in 2 W. Troy on page 108 of the record. Perhaps it will help to weed out the ones who are NOT the one you are looking for if they are still present in 1870 records. Joan

In a message dated 98-06-09 12:17:24 EDT, you write: > have you checked the AIS for Isaac? I can if you have > not. Helene, this might come in handy for other list members also to know this so I am sending to all. Someone sent me a text file (a huge text file) of all census indexes that were included in the Broderbund census CD-ROMs for all Kigers, Geigers and variant spellings. Of course those CDs may not include all that you have access to since not all years for all states were included on those CDs. I would be happy to check for Geigers and Kigers and other variants of this surname on the census indexes I have--I have most states for 1790 on up to 1860, and some up to 1870 (for a few states) but nothing later than that. I do have the information for Isaac from the 1830 PA census and that is the last he can be found there with the family structure I stated in my original message. I am trying to see just which of the Isaac Kigers (or perhaps his name evolved to a different spelling when he moved?) who show up later would fit with what we know about this Isaac. My assumption at this point is that this particular Isaac Kiger is the son of Charles Kiger and Susanna (possibly Hochstetler). This Kiger family is almost certainly descended from Valentine Geiger of the Ittlingen, Germany Geiger family connected to the Henckels of Pennsylvania. I would expect to find this particular Isaac naming sons Charles, and maybe Benjamin, and possibly James and Nicholas--after his father and presumed brothers. He would most likely be naming daughters Susanna and Elizabeth after his mother and sister. So I guess you could say that I do know where Isaac Kigers can be found in 1840 across America but I am looking for one who might fit the pattern above as well as a birth date around 1800. Thanks for any help! Joan

I am interested in finding the parents of Charles Kiger born about 1850 in Monroe County, Ohio, who married Adaline Tubaugh who was born in Iowa, in 1871 in Wetzel County, West Virginia. I am also interested in what events might have brought this couple to Wetzel County, WV to be married there. Joan

I am looking for information on an Isaac Kiger (or possibly even Geiger or other spelling) who was born about 1800-1810 (probably closer to 1800 as the 1830 census shows him with a female age 20-30--most likely his wife and two children--a male under age 5 and a female betwen 10 and 15 (which is why I would place him as being born closer to 1800 than to 1810--assuming these children are the children of this couple).
