His father's name > was also Frank but unfortunately, the only thing I know about him is his > wife's name, Mary Hepp. Bob, the latest census index I have for Ohio is 1850 and there is only one Geiger family living in Huron County (which I believe is where Peru, Ohio is located) at that time. A Laurance Geiger is in Sherman Township, on page 121 of the census record. I think that would be a good first step--to get a look at that Geiger family on the census and see who their children are and other pertinent family information. Laurance could possibly be Frank, Sr.'s father. Joan
