I just read with interest the following post on GEIGER-L # : > Subject: Re: [GEIGER-L] Fielding as a given name > JHerold722@aol.com > Joan, > According to FTM, Vol.4. Fielding Kiger m Mary "Polly" Maderia > FTM est Fielding Kiger b 1756-1802 d est 1776-1880 > FTM est Mary "Polly" Maderia b 1774-1803 d 1780-1855 > > Mary "Polly" Maderia was d/o Christian Maderia and Anna Bierly, both born > in Reading Berks Co Pa. and both died in Morgantown, Monongalia Co WVa. > They were married Feb, 23, 1779, German Reformed Church, Reading Pa. > > Vol. 5 has nothing on Fielding Kiger, and I have no more research disks. > Maybe someone else can find more. There is quite a list of Maderia's, but > nothing on Kiger. > >Carma I found on that Vol 4 disk also that Charles GIEGER b. 1821 m. Catherine KISSINGER, daughter of Margaret (Madeira) and John KISSINGER. The Mary "Polly" MADEIRA who m. Fielding KIGER was daughter of Christian MADEIRA, brother of Michael MADEIRA. They were the sons of Nichlaus MADEIRA b. Switzerland. Family Treemaker Kinship Report shows Mary "Polly" (Madeira),w/o Fielding KIGER, a first cousin once removed of Catherine (Kissinger), w/o Charles GEIGER. The kinship report shows no relationship between Fielding and Charles because they are not "hooked up" with any others. I have VA Genealogies disks 2 and 3 from Broderbund (CD #186 and 187); will check those for FIELDING and for any meaningful KIGER/KYGER/KRUGLER/KRICKLER/CREAGLAR/KRIGER etc. May take a while.
