My interests are as follows: 1) My great-greatgrandparents were Elijah Geiger and Mary Moser. These is very little information on them, however, I have learned that both died young. Mary died in 1876 and her sister Sue raised there children after that. There first son, William, was my greatgrandfather. I have also learned Elijah died young, however, I have no information on Elijahs death date or place. I believe Elijah left the family and went out west possible in the mid-1870's. 2) Elijah's parents were Peter Geiger and Ann Hoffman. I would love to learn more about them. I believe they lived mostly in Harrisburg. 3) Ann Hoffman's parents were George Hoffman and Maria (Anna Maria) Fehr/Fair. I found your 2009 email, entitled: John Fair, originally of Chester County to be very interesting. To date I had no information on the Fehr/Fair's. You indicated that Maria Fehr's parents were John and Barbara Fair. I would love to learn how you have so much information about the Fehr/Fair family. I would be very interested to learn more about the Fehr/Fair family. In particularly, I would like to learn where they came from prior to American and some specifics about their life in Robeson Township and Caernarvon, Berks County, PA. I would appreciate any information you have and would provide my mailing address if you have stories, records, documents that would have genealogical interest. Thank you....Mike Geiger Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
