I know we have quite a few subscribers to this list who descend from the South Carolina Geiger family tracing from Hans Jacob and Abraham Geiger who settled in the Orangeburgh, SC area in 1737. This is a family I am not all that familiar with but feel that they are an important part of any study of American Geigers. I believe that several of you on the list have information as to your own specific branch of this family and have already shared some of that information with the members of the list. I have been looking for someone who would be willing to take the time to compile an article on this Geiger family both to share with the list and also to print in my newsletter at a later date. John H. Smallwood, Jr. (e-mail: jhs1964@gte.net) has agreed to compile any material submitted to him into an article on the SC Geiger family. Of course, due credit will be given to anyone submitting information to John on their particular branch of the family. We have allowed ample time to work on this and we have set a tentative deadline of February or March 1999 to gather and compile the data. John is already the author of the book "The Denson Family of Scott County Mississippi." I look forward to watching this project progress over the coming months. I hope that all descendants of this family including those with information on related topics such as the Weber Heresy that has already been discussed on the list will help John in any way possible. Please feel free to use the resources of this list as well as personal communications while gathering data for this project. Joan
