The German Baptist Brethern(Dunkers/Tunkers) are now a part of the Church of the Brethern, so I would suppose that our Martins may have been related to those which Joan speaks of, albeit remotely... We need German Baptist Brethern documentation on Rev. John Martin who married Elizabeth Donnom... ...and these Martin's might be the link between both the Northern (German) line and the Southern (Swiss) line, since Elam Virgil Martin's book on Emanuel Henry Martin says Rev. John's ancestor was Minnie Geiger and that the gg-grandparents came from Ulster...together. >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [GEIGER] German Baptists/N orth America >Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 23:36:45 EDT > >In a message dated 9/14/00 11:07:32 PM Eastern Daylight Time, >[email protected] writes: > > > Were there GEIGERS, GIGERS, KEGARS or MARTINS among the PA German > > Baptists?
