Hi Everyone, Randy Leonard, the person who originally told me of the book has taken the time to type alot of information out about the book, including a complete list of surnames. Please read this letter if you had been thinking of purchasing the book before you buy it. I am not out to sell a book for anyone, only trying to help fellow researchers in anyway possible. I feel alot better now knowing that no one will be blindsided buying a book they may never be able to use. Happy Hunting, Debie Blindauer History of Kiel The book is a paperback book of 8-1/2 " X 11" in size and 184 pages in length, plus an additional 16 pages of photos (2 photos/page).
