Notes:
My name is Patricia Ann Geiger and I am the great great grand-daughter of Lorenz Geiger. I am related through Lawrence von Salis Geiger and Margaret Mae Stanfield.
They had a son, John Wilbur Geiger , who is my grandfather. My father is John Wilbur Geiger, Jr.

Ursula died in child birth of twin babies who also died. Year listed in the family story was 1860
Lorenz left for Davos Switzerland leaving Emmanuel , 11 and Lawrence von Salis 8 , in the care of the Martin family.
Lorenz visited Ursula’s sister, Margaretha and asked for her hand in marriage. According to the family history Margaretha married Lorenz in 1869.
