Joan, Thanks for the follow-up and information. Do you (or anyone) know who the head of household of the Alsace Twp. branch was? Would that be John Geiger/Geyer? I've been looking through some of the Trinity Church records, but the ones I ordered are a little later than I need for the Geier's I'm looking for. I just ordered an earlier volume though; so I should have that in a couple of weeks.

This John, I speculated might well be the son of either Christopher or Johannes who were brothers and sons of Adam Geiger/Geyer. I said I would write to Barbara Campbell about this since she didn't have e- mail and I thought she might know more. This is her response. "I do not have anything on either John Geiger-son of Christopher or son of Johannes. It does sound as though Sarah is related to the Alsace Twp. branch. Several of the Wunder-related families ended up in Orwigsburg and surrounding area. Stroheckers, Harveys, Aulonback, etc. Records for the time period Sarah was born are particularly poor in Schuylkill County. I think Rev. Boos was travelling up to Schuylkill during this time. Schuylkill County formed from Berks 1812-1815, if memory serves me. People seem to still show up in Trinity and First Reformed in Reading as if they had never gone anywhere." Joan
