Hans, If you are not already aware with your own Leibbrandt research, I have discovered in my own research that Johann Jacob Leibbrandt, along with his wife Catharina Dorothea Keller and some of their children, emigrated to the US sometime between 1831-1836) with Christian Meier/Majer and Elisabetha Barabara Leibbrandt, and their son Christian Wilhelm Meier/Majer. Some of the descendants of Johann Jacob Leibbrandt even settled in California in the latter half of 1800. If you do not already have their information of where they settled in Indiana, USA, I'd be happy to share that with you if you would like. Regards, Alysia (Meyers) Hargus Descendant of Christian Wilhelm Meiers and Elisabetha Barabara Leibbrandt On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Hans Leibbrandt wrote:
