Geiger in the 1870 Ohio census whom I think is the mother of my 2nd great-grandmother, Caroline Geiger. She is a widow in 1870 living in Ohio, but she came from KY. I am looking for her husband, maiden name, and the area in KY that they came from. Any help would be much appreciated. The 1870 census record looks like this (Eliza may be an abbreviation for Elizabeth): 1870 US Ohio Hamilton Cincinnati, Ward 18, p 341(upper right) Geiger, Eliza 35 FW Wash woman, Bavaria -------, Caroline 12 FW attending school, Kentucky -------, Margaretha, 9 FW, " ", Ohio
