William was married first to Susannah Deck in 1832 and second to Susan Long in 1845, and third to Malinda Yinyard in 1847. William was the son of John Giger and Susannah Creek. Interestingly Susannah Creek was John Giger's step-mother's sister. John Giger was the son of Johan George (or George Johan) Geiger and first wife Barbara Klein. After Barbara's death, George married Anna Creek Ortz/Autz, a widow. Johan George Geiger was born 2 June 1748 in Lancaster County, PA and is the son of Christian Geiger (the immigrant) and wife Anna Maria Esskuchin. Anna Maria was probably the 2nd wife of Christian. Now, the new information we have is that Christian is somehow descended from Paul and Anna Geiger of Richen, in the Northern Kraichgau, Germany, who appeared on the survivor list after the 30 years war. Christian descends somehow from one of the three sons listed with Paul and Anna on this survivor list. Possible Christian descends through Paul and Anna's son Christian but we don't have that for fact as yet. Joan

would somebody please enlighten me about our connection with Kyger/Kyzer? I found a group with names Christian, Jacob, Valentine around 1800 in KY. They had recently migrated their with other church members -- I think from GA. If this is info we need, please let me know and I'll track it down again.
