Do you have any idea how long I have had a chart of this entire family without SEEING Charles D. Geiger on the chart and his relationship to Fielding Kiger?????? A LONG time. Even more intriguing (and I HAD noticed this before) is that Michael Madeira--father of Margaret who married John Kissinger--is married to Ann Elizaebth Dick. No doubt she is kin to the same Dick family VERY closely allied to the Henckel-Geigers. Elizabeth Geiger (daughter of Christopher Geiger--and granddaughter of Valentine Geiger) married Nicholas Dick of Berks County, PA. > > The kinship report shows no relationship between Fielding and Charles > because they are not "hooked up" with any others.

Thanks Dick--no rush--but very interesting! Joan
