I am trying to continue my family history. I can only go back to my 5thG Grandfather, Killian Creek (Krieg, Grieg, Gerig, etc). I am trying to find his parents so that I can link back to Germany (his father).

One of the spellings of the name Killian is Guillaume. I am trying to find his mother my using his given name as her surname, as that was a common naming technique in the past.

The general conclusion is that Killian's parents MAY have been Rebecca and Jacob (John, Johannes, James). I have found record of a Jacob Krieg who came to Lancaster Co, PA on the Snow Louisa in 1752. I can't prove he's my 6th G Grandfather, however.

I believe that Killian's parents would have been born sometime between the late 1690's and 1730. Killian was born 1750 (either in Lancaster Co, PA or Germany).

If anyone has any information that might link with my search, I would greatly appreciate it. My email is: pretty_purple_polka_dot@yahoo.com

Thanks!
