I'm wondering if the ARNDT line has been researched here. I have in my files, Anna Elizabeth GEIGER, born 14 Sept. 1726 who married Jacob ARNDT, Esq. of Northampton County, PA. Anna Elizabeth GEIGER was the daughter of Johan Jacob GEIGER and wife Anna E lizabeth (maiden name unknown) of Ittlingen, Germany. Joan
