About The Author
David A. Geiger is a retired U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant whose military precision and discipline shaped his decades-long genealogical pursuit. Raised in the Deep South during segregation, David battled personal loss, racial injustice, and generational disconnect. His work honors not only his ancestors but all African American families fragmented by slavery and systemic oppression. With “Our Fragmented Family Tree”, Geiger lays the foundation for families to seek their own truth and restore what was once broken.
