Hello Helen Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I don’t know if he was related to Matt. I never heard that name come up in his conversations with his friends from Brestowatz living in Toronto. His mother, my grandmother Anna, was in double jeopardy. During the occupation, she was detained for not towing the Nazi line; after liberation, she went to the same concentration camp as your father because she was ethnic German. My father brought her to Toronto after her release but to my knowledge, she never mentioned a Matt Liebgott. I’m still researching Liebgott connections and should I find any links to Matt Liebgott, I’ll get in touch with you. All the best, Bernie Liebgott -- ------- Darlene http://www.dvhh.org/membership/associates.htm#D

Hi Bernie: My wife is Nancy Liebgott.Her family also traces back to Brestowatz.This is the first I’ve heard of other Liebgotts on this list, and I would be interested in comparing notes.  My wife’s Liebgotts have been in the USA since 1908, but I’m sure there must be a connection to your family in Brestowatz before that. Her parents are Joseph Liebgott (1926-1981) and Anne McKenna (1930-..) of Detroit, Michigan. Joseph’s parents were Frank Liebgott (1884-1939) and Barbara Zimmermann (1894-?), both born in Brestowatz.Frank Liebgott arrived in Minnesota, USA, in 1908.Frank had a sister named Anna (1882-1921). Frank’s parents were Franz (Ferencz) Liebgott and Elizabeth Jovanovich, both of Brestowatz. I don’t know how far back your research goes, but if there is a possible connection, I would love to hear from you.
