I have some Leister records, mostly concerning my direct lineage through Bernard who was my great-great grandfather and also your Grosse's brother. Grosse is German for grandmother, that's why the called her that. I don't have any really old photos from the Leister side except for my great-grandmother Josephine Leister Muenzer and her brother John and sister Elizabeth. (Yes, we have an Elizabeth in our line also, probably named in honor of your Grosse, who would have been her aunt). There are some Leister descendants here in North Hills, my grandfather's first cousins Doris Leister Dye and Lorraine Leister Gozzard. I could probably get at least one of them to meet for coffee sometime if you like. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
