I want everyone to know the new Andreas Killian book would not have been possible without Killian Book
 cover the donation of information Wayne Milam has collected over the years. The chapter by William
 ″Bill″ Hinds on the Leonard Killian family is a fantastic detailed account of Andreas′ first son. The book
 gained German records with the addition of 2 chapters written by William McCreight. Many chapters were
 written & re-written as historically correct as possible through the edits & additions by Thomas Eugene
 ″Gene″ Killian. Wayne, Bill, William & Gene formed the frame work of the book. This does not discount
 the contributions of authors Dan Sipe, Sandy Phillips & Wayne Setzer. Also there was the behind the
 scenes people; I cannot tell you how many people were involved in getting this book to where it is today.
 My sincere thanks to you all.

 William McCreight of Germany added his knowledge of Andreas Kilian of Steinbach, Bavaria, Germany.
 This knowledge and research includes information on Lutheran German Records, the social system in
 Andreas′ time and the trip from Steinbach to Philadelphia.

 The 17 or so years between Philadelphia to North Carolina has been explored as theory only. When
 Cletus H. Killian researched the Colonial Killians, I found he was not sure where Andreas Killian & his
 family lived for those 17 years. This chapter leaves me the feeling someone should take up the gauntlet
 &look for Andreas in the state archives of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware & maybe
 & New Jersey.

 The chapter on DNA introduced other colonial Killians into your New Andreas Killian book. We have 2
 chapters on Killian′s not related to Andreas Killian; Pennsylvania Killian and North Carolina Killians born
 before 1800. While the book is titled ″The Family of North Carolina Pioneer Andreas Killian (1702-1788);
 Andreas and his children and grandchildren″, the book has far more information than I ever expected.

 The book has gone through a metamorphosis; going from my envisioned booklet, to a hard back book
 with a CD of information available on Killians up to the 20 century, back to the booklet I first envisioned,
 to a paperback book of about 200 pages of 18th century Colonial Killians. I hope everyone will be
 pleased with the final result.

 Respectfully,
 Cheryl Mann Killian
