Virginia:

I identify and can write short Bios for Abraham, Felix, Cornelius, and
John Geiger. They are brothers, and the sons of Ulrich and Apollonia
Gyger/Gieger/Geiger...Think it may be spelled "Giger" on the actual record.

Assume Bennets are related to Cornelius, whose wife, Rebecca, is claimed by
some to be a Bennett...
