I am posting this list because of several people have inquired. Joan I know you are still working on the hard copy materials that I sent to you and you are planning an article on this family in an future newsletter but I hope it might (1) help someone else, and (2) provide some answers that I need especially in regard to the wife (Catherina/Catherine) of Benjamin Geiger, Jr. and the wife (Margaret McAdams) of John Geiger. I want to comment on the fact that many people did not have John as the first born child of Benjamin Geiger and Caterina but our family has an original confirmation certificate for him listing them as his parents and his birth record is in the Hill Church. 1.
