Son of Valentin GEIGER (buried in the old Rapides Cemetery, Pineville, Rapides, LA) and of Anna Maria GREIDENWEIS Geiger (burial as yet unknown) and husband of Minerva ("Minnie") NICHOLES Geiger (with whom he is buried in the same plot). They married on 26 Dec 1880 in Fayette County, Texas, and had six children together.

In the 1850's, at the time of his immigration to America, his place of birth (the village of Göcklingen bei Landau) belonged to the Kingdom of Bavaria.

After immigration he no longer used the original German form of his first name (Franz) but rather Francis, shortened to Frank.

He was a carpenter and contractor in Houston.
