Note from another genealogist.I do not know if you should have Leo Hemmersbach in the Leis famil y, it is by rumor, that his father is Stanislus Leis, as you may not ha ve noticed that his (Leo) mother is a sister to Stan Leis wife, and that t hey are having babies at the time of his marriage, he never married Gertru de, it is a awful story
