Geier (Boisroux)
There are three Geier families associated with the colony of Boisroux. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research:
(1) In 1783, August Geier and his family moved from Boisroux to Hummel.
The widow and children of August Geier from Boisroux are recorded on the 1798 census of Hummel in Household No. Hm15.
(2) In 1787, Christoph Geier and his family moved from Meinhard to Hummel.
Christoph Geier from Boisroux and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Hummel in Household No. Hm02.
(3) Elias Geier from Boisroux and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Hummel in Household No. Hm18.
The 1767 census records that Andreas Geier came from the German region of Dessau.
