She is buried at Stoney Hill Church Cemetery in Glennville, GA next to her parents, John Dawson Hunt Sr and Eva Augusta Flowers. Thank you for providing the post, I wasn't sure if this was the same Warner until I saw Ruby's name. On Warner's death certificate is states Warner E. Geiger d.

Other times it doesn’t turn out as well as you’d like. This seems to be leaning more toward the second option, though I think I’ve found one good listing for you. 1920 Census Elmhurst Borough, Queens County, New York Edelbert Geiger, Head, age 73, born in Austria, immigrated 1870, naturalized 1884?, father born Germany, mother born Austria, occupation: none [[YES, it says “Edelbert” - without a doubt!]] Phillopina Geiger, Wife, age 63, born Germany, immigrated 1871, naturalized 1873, father & mother born Germany, occupation: none Bertha C. Geiger, Daughter, age 27, born Texas, father born Austria, mother born Germany, occupation: Clerk, Tobacco Industry Office Cecile Geiger, Daughter, age 24, born Texas, father born Austria, mother born Germany, occupation: Clerk, Insurance Co. J. William Geiger, Son, age 25, born Texas, father born Austria, mother born Germany, occupation: Supervisor, ?? [some short abbreviation like ‘Sip’ that I can’t make out] In addition the census taker was a bit too obsequious in her duties when it came to recording the birthplaces of those who were foreign born. She originally recorded a location that was too specific and this was later lined out and the country was written in. For Edelbert it looks like Steinmark. It starts with Stein and ends with a K, but it’s got two lines through it, so it’s hard to be certain. For Phillopina it says Burgen. This census was taken 12 JAN 1920, so (assuming people counted correctly) it gives you some information on these people regarding their year of birth. I had no luck locating a 1900 or 1910 census listing. And as far as 1880 on LDS there are very few foreign born Geigers in Texas. A search in Galveston County only comes up with only JAEGER variations. A Max Jager in Harris Co. (Huston area) has a wife named Philipina, but is it just coincidence? You might want to look into the possibility of getting copies of their naturalization papers or marriage license. Your local library may subscribe to HeritageQuest, which provides census information online.

Their children are Charles, Frederick, John, Kitty, Anna, Madeline. I have lots of information about their lives. I need more information on dates of birth etc. I know that Philomenia was born in Oberammergau Bavaria. I believe Antoine was born in Italy. I was told by a relative that Philolmenia was an orphan girl at age 2. The Webers took her in and i would like to know if anyone has any information as to her real parents etc. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I wish you luck in your search. Do you know anything else about him? What he does for a living or any other relatives like his mom and dad's names? Where was he last? I found my biological parents and it is sort of a passion of mine to help others.

Thanks, Martha. Most of us are trying hard to remember how much worse life is for others on this planet. But it has been keeping us on our toes! In low areas of town, water is backing up through the stormdrains, etc. Latest projection I've watched now puts Ivan much more to the west, aimed at the Panhandle of FL. Better for us, but they've had their share already! Anne ----- Original Message ----- > Glad you are able to keep some sense of humor in all this Anne. Keep us > informed about Ivan.

Just checking in from Central Florida. Finally got our power, cable and internet access back - again. Our area is still dealing with MANY downed trees, etc., from Charley and more went down with Frances, which also brought heavy flooding. Now we're all bracing for Ivan the Terrible in a few days. Someone has suggested that we aim all the leafblowers and airboat fans south and crank 'em up! Anne C.

Glad you are able to keep some sense of humor in all this Anne. Keep us informed about Ivan. Blessings for you and your family. Martha Austin Texas
