Extremes of geometric variables with applications to branching processes

Abstract
We obtain limit theorems for the row extrema of a triangular array of zero-modified geometric random variables. Some of this is used to obtain limit theorems for the maximum family size within a generation of a simple branching process with varying geometric offspring laws.
