    3. Amy, are you saying you don't know who Roy's ancestors are? My sources say he's the son of Marion Francis GEIGER and Josephine PREVATT of Middleburg, Clay Co., FL, and grandson of Felix GEIGER, Jr., and Alice or Allison (Ally) SAPP. He was my mother's second cousin once removed - common ancestors Felix GEIGER and Mary MARTIN. His wife was Katherine THOMPSON and their children were Joyce and Roy Stanley, Jr. I have that biography - our son bought it for me at the Museum at Pensacola Naval Air Station. It was written after his death and has some strange facts in it that don't agree with what we all have gathered. I just wonder where the author got his material. He has Roy's ancestors coming from Austria, rather than Switzerland, and landing in PA rather than SC. Also calls both his father and grandfather "Marion Francis".
