Hello Erica,
We live South Africa and are really interested and would like to know more about the surname and where it derives from, we have sent alot of mails out to others but with no response.
From what we understand Riaan(29) would only be the 3rd generation from the first kylander to be here in South Africa and that from around 1920 - 1930roughly, and me Neil(22) being the 4th from what we have heard and understand.
Riaan's Dad and my Grandad, was Oscar Conrad Kylander and we have no real idea of what Oscars dads name was.
All we understand is that he came here on a ship as a blacksmith but we could be wrong as our older relatives dont talk much about it.
Would really like to here from you,
fkylander@moneytrader.co.zankylander@cementation.co.za
