Hi All - My name is Debbie Turner - maiden name is KYGER. I am currently in New Jersey and have been researching my family roots for just over a year - such a small amount of time compared to many of you! But I love it and find it completely eating up all my free time. I have spent most of my time finding contacts and information on the Internet and trying to match that with family documents I have found -- and creating a WebSite that will be of some value to others searching the same surnames. (It's in progress - changing daily - I am learning as I am going.) If any of you have (or know of) any web pages relating to the KYGER or GEIGER name please let me know so I can visit. >From what I can find out I believe I am a descendant of Christian Geiger as follows: Direct Descendants of Christian Geiger 1 Christian GEIGER Abt. 1700 - Abt. 1779 . +Barbara (UNKNOWN) Bef. 1738 - 2 Wilhelm "William" GEIGER Aft. 1721 - 1759 +Eva/Anna Barbara STOBER 1728 - Aft. 1759 . 3 Christian GEIGER II 1748 - Bef. 1830 . +Anna Margaretha STOEVER 1748 - Bef. 1795 4 Jacob KYGER 1778 - 1848 +Barbara SHAVER 1780 - 1857 . 5 Louis/Lewis Washington KYGER 1810 - 1884 . +Martha G.

My line starts with Christian Geiger who settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1747. I know a lot of you, but want to make sure that I haven't missed anyone. My main interest is the current generations. It's been extremely satisfying when 'orphans' find their roots through my database which now contains over 11,000 people and is growing daily. And yes, I have Geigers, Gigers, Gygers, Kygers and even three Kigers. Maggie
