JOHANN ADAM GEIGER was born on a farm at Sinsheim, a village in Baden, Germany, about fifteen miles south-east of Heidelburg. The name of his father, who died when Johann Adam was still quite young, is not recorded. His mother’s Christian name was Elizabeth and young Johann was raised by his widowed mother. He was first married to Elizabeth Koerber whose mother was a daughter of Johannah Doll. They had three children, namely: Joseph Jacob, Louisa and Elizabeth, all of whom emigrated to Canada in the 1850’s. Joseph Jacob married Elizabeth Hollinger; Louisa married Philip Gmelin and Elizabeth married Frederick Rittinger. After the death of his first wife, Johann Adam married Magdalena Huxsel by whom he had two children; Charles, who came to Canada and shortly afterwards moved to Calumet, Michigan, where he was employed as mason foreman at the Calumet & Hecla Mines; and Marie who married a man named Englefinger and remained in Germany. The brothers and sisters who left Germany surrendered all rights to their share of the family estate at Sinsheim which passed to the youngest daughter Marie. She had one daughter who was married to a man named Fisher. Contact with this family was lost during the first World War.
