Dear Gerald, the trip to Effingham Co. sounded wonderful! I have been researching Geiger and Willis and Edwards families from that area and hope to someday get back there for a visit. Do I understand that the old site of Ebenezer is now on a military post? Is the old Baptist Church nearby still standing? Has anyone finally decided if Mercy Martin is the correct ancestor? Where is the book you mentioned, records of Effingham Co., located? Do we know where in Switzerland the Geigers came from? I also live in Texas. Thanks for your help. B.
