From the time that I started
researching
the Geyer family I have come across many names, faces and a ton of info
on many of my ancestors that many in the family did not know
existed.
The Geyer surname has found many homes over the centuries; from the
shores
of Brazil, to the sierra mad re's of Mexico. From the deep
jungles
of Africa to the Great land of the United States, I have found
many
Geyer families. But it has found its roots in the Old Bavarian
Empire
of Europe. The original meaning of the the Geyer name was "Two
Gauss
Hawks".
Though most
of
our lineage came to the Colonies in the mid eighteenth Century.
Coming
mostly from Bavarian
Empire, England,
Scotland, and
Ireland
and also some areas of Switzerland. My Geyer family come over in
the Aftermath of the Civil War. I have been able to find out when
the Wife and children of my immigrant ancestor came to the US but not
the Male half of the Geyer family.
