Hi, Bonnie, If I may add a comment or two: 1. In the index of "Ft. Stewart Cemeteries" by Wyman E. May, there are; GEIGER: Ann Jane; Charles S.; Dorcas Elvina; Ella; Emma Lee; Lillian Edith; Mae Speir; Mary Verena; R.R. & Julia; Sarah Ann; Sidney Jackson; and Winfield W. EDWARDS: Mrs. E.J.; Infant Dau. of L.M. and J.E.; Irean; J.L.; J.M.; John M.; and S. WILLIS: Julia Rogena DASHER; and two infants burials. 2. Ft. Stewart is a huge area west of Savannah. New Ebenezer is north. This is what Nancy says: "The Jerusalem Lutheran Church is located near Rincon, GA in Effingham County. The town of Ebenezer, in which it stands, no longer exists, but there is the church, a museum, a retreat center, and some other restored buildings. The church is still active, as far as I know, with members from the surrounding area. This is the town where the Salzburgers lived, worked and died. They even began an orphanage and a silk industry. The church was built from 1767-1769 and is lovely. Ebenezer is on the Savannah River about 30 miles upstream from Savannah. It is reached by going I-95 to GA Hwy 21 and then 275. The route goes through Rincon, GA." The original Old Ebenezer site is nearby, with only a small monument on it. 3. We're still working on Mercy MARTIN. 4. For "The Records of Eff. Co." you can try Int.Lib.Loan. It is also for sale on the Saltzburger website at http://www.crosswinds.net/~djmabry/salzburger/index.html . 5. Most of the GEIGERS (1500s) came from Haslach, St. Gallen, SWT; plus other villages in same area. Their church (Evangelische Kirche) records were at Berneck, except for Gov. Hs. Jacob GYGER'S, which were at Diepoldsau nearby. All are now in the Archives at town of St. Gallen. On a map, look at the NE corner of SWT, at the Rhine River valley that runs along the Austrian, etc., border. It's called the Rheintal (Rhine Valley) and is unbelievably beautiful.
