    3. 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.
