I don't have time to do lookups however and I do not believe the Ley family is the same but still would not put money on it. I do have the Lau Book by Mike Lau. The Lowe/Low family in NC are the same family as the York County Lau family. Just like the York County Glatfelder and the NC Clodfelter family are the same... just like the York County Gentzler family is the same as the NC Cansler family... and so on..... Thanks! Don
