To all who wrote, we really appreciate your concern. It was a rough storm, possibly with tornados, but we fared better than Mickey and Cousin Arlene. Their picture window blew in just mins. after M. had checked it, embedding shards in the furniture. Also lost every tree on their property and some fencing. A few days before, our 42 yr. old oak had dropped a huge limb, which tore down our wires and fried major appliances, etc. Then when Charley came howling, he decapitated the tree and threw it into the street, ripping out all our wires again! We were o.k., but all around us, streets were blocked by downed trees and many houses and cars were crushed. About 1:00 a.m., our son came banging at our door. He'd made his way across two towns, using a chain saw when necessary to get through. Said the quiet and almost total darkness were eerie! Our daughter came over later from the coast with supplies and a generator. And then Mickey drove the obstacle course to our house to try to lend these dummies a cell phone!! Haven't heard from other Floridia Geigers, but pray they are just busy dealing with cleanup and repair and will report in soon. If this next storm hits our state, it's going to be very interesting!

I have been concerned about the Connell's also, so am glad that they are ok. A weakend but strong Charley came through Georgetown, SC where I live and did damage but none to my house. We lived through Hugo so can literally feel their pain.

Englebert arrived in 1871 aboard the Weser. I believe Philipina (don't know her maiden name) arrived in 1870. Englebert was a cabinet maker who worked and raised his family in Galveston until the big hurricane. They left after the hurricane, having lost children in the storm, and moved to Jackson Heights, Queens, NY where they lived out their lives. 4 of 9 children survived to adulthood: Bertha Geiger (never married) Cecil Geiger (never Married Molly Geiger (Married a genleman by the name of Brown and lived in Shaker Heights Ohio) And my Grandfather John William Geiger. I know little else of my family...but I'm still looking! John W. Geiger II
Zerricus isn't an actual name, just one of the many ways that English-speaking clerks in SC chose to interpret the surname of a man who signed himself as "Johannes Serecouse." His wife Verena (nicknamed Vronegg) wound up in a deed as "Chronica Zurkus", making it a bit difficult to follow her land around. If I saw a document filed under the Christian-name Zurick, I'd suspect that it had started out as Zurcher (as in, "the guy from Zürich"), but it might possibly be yet another clerk-transcription of George (Jorg, Jurg, Jerig, alas-poor-Yorick, etc.). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverly Burton" <bzb@houston.rr.com> To: <GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 9:50 AM Subject: Re: [GEIGER] Geiger around Edgefield S.C.

These fascinating accounts range from the promoters and settlers of 1710 North Carolina to the Mennonites of the 18th century Pennsylvania; from the Mormon Swiss of the 1870's to the Italian-Swiss winegrowers of late 19th century California. There are colonial-era letters from Pennsylvania 1736-1769; Maryland 1704; North Carolina 1711; and North Carolina 1733-1785. Nineteenth-century letters cover Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Maryland, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Utah, Wyoming, Michigan, and California. Interested in immigrants; in German-speaking settlers, in Colonial America? This book is for you.
