Geigers in IA - photo & german document
Posted by: Marty Lee Date: February 11, 2001 at 19:07:48
  of 103

My Great uncle, Edward J. Lee, b: March 28, 1818 married Josie Marie Geiger, b: March 19, 1880. They were married Jan 1, 1903 and lived in Cherokee & Ida Counties, Iowa. Ed & Josie never had children. Josie's parents according to my family bible were **tues and Barbara Gieger. The first one or two letters of the father's name are unreadable; it could be 'vi' or 'A?'. I have always believed it to be VITUES. However, being unfamiliar with German names, I am unsure if this is/could be a name.

In addition, I have a wonderful german? document that I would love to get translated, that has Vitues's name on it. I would be forever greatful to anyone who could tell me what it says.

I also have a family picture of who I believe is Vitues & Barbara and their daughters? with my Great uncle Ed. This picture was taken by F.E. Bennett of Cherokee, IA.

I know nothing of josie's sisters or family. My G-Uncle and the father, Vitues, and another man, possibly a brother based on the resemblance are the only men in this picture, so I assume they are sisters).

I would be very willing and eternally greatful to anyone who was willing to translate the document for me. In addition, I am willing to share the photo with anyone interested.

please email me directly if you're interested in obtaining the document or picture.

Thanks for your help!
Marty Lee
