I am currrently researching the BYAR surname. Mary BYAR, daughter of Louis B BYAR and Catherine (Hunsberger) KEELER was married to David Q GEIGER. Louis B BYAR's father was John BYAR and his mother Mary ?... I am trying to document the information I was given about Louis B BYAR, birth date and place and his parents information. I keep coming up empty and am hoping maybe there may be someone either researching the same line or perhaps the Geiger line that would follow the Byars also. Thank you Kassie David Q. GEIGER was born at Hamburg, May 10, 1839, and died at Pottstown, Aug. 20, 1877. He was buried at Pottstown, where he was a printer and proprietor of the Advertiser, one of the first papers of the borough. He was a leading member of the Baptist Church, in which he was an official. Mr. Geiger was married to Mary BYAR who died June 14, 1878, and they had these children: Lewis J.; Edward F., of Reading; William H., who died in infancy; and George H., of Coraopolis, Pennsylvania. Lewis J. GEIGER was but one year old when he accompanied his parents to Pottstown, and there he lived until his thirteenth year, attending the public schools. His parents having died he went to live with his grandfather Jacob GEIGER at Hamburg, at which place he attended the public schools until nineteen years old. On reaching his twentieth year he came to Reading....... <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~paberks/montgomery/g04.html">Click here: Morton Montgomery OnLine Project, Gehrke, Geiger, Geigley, Geisewite, Geiss, Geissler, Geist, Genner, g04</A>
