David A. Geiger is an author and researcher focused on preserving African American genealogy, Black family history, and ancestral truth through documented evidence and lived experience.

His work examines how slavery, segregation, and systemic injustice fractured African American family lineages and erased historical records across generations. Through careful genealogy research, David reconstructs ancestry using census records, death certificates, military service documents, DNA ethnicity estimates, and oral family history.

Our Fragmented Family Tree is a deeply personal yet historically grounded work, written to honor ancestors whose stories were buried or forgotten. David’s writing bridges personal family narrative with the broader African American experience in the United States, offering readers clarity, context, and connection to their roots.

He writes with the belief that understanding where we come from is essential to knowing who we are—and to preserving truth for future generations.
