In my search for Geyer, I came across your posting and I noticed a misspelling of a place name which might hamper your future searches:
The correct spelling is: "Rheinpfalz", Bavaria (Bayern in German)
The Rheinpfalz is also referred to as the Palatinates (latin)
The Rheinpfalz, once a part of the Bavarian Kingdom, was not a connected tract of land of Bavaria and does no longer belong to modern-day Bavaria.
The area referred as Rheinpfalz is now a separate state of Germany called Rheinland-Pfalz.
To add to the confusion, there is also an Oberpfalz, a district of today's Bavaria on the Czech border.
