But I don't have anything at all in a Sadden/Soddenwasser related to the family. I've been able to track a descendant that went to Nebraska...but everyone else stayed in Indiana or Illinois (that I know of). What names do you have? I know that the Geiger family used VERY common German names...so it's probably just a coincidence, unless your Geigers were in Ripley County and/or Indiana (the first generation spread throughout the midwest). Also, I doubt you'd have photos of the names I mentioned, as they were born 1825-1870's. I do know photos exist of a few of the later generation, but they're in Ripley County. Did you grandmother live in Ripley? Do you know what church she might have attended? (our family attended the German Evangelical Lutheran Church at Crossroads, near Batesville, also known as St. Paul's). But I'm sorry I don't have anything with the Soddenwasser name. I've researched cemeteries, birth records, etc...and can't say I've ever come across it at all. Was it German? Ripley County was a big area for Germans to settle. Thanks, Brenda Geiger
