Hello Cindy,

Since about 5 years, I am collecting all I can find about Leibbrandt
genealogy and compile it to a consistent entirety.

During the last 20 years I did technical writing for Philips Medical Systems.
 Since two month I am retired, but continue as freelancer.
See: http://217.123.44.2/consultancy/  on my own webserver
(an old PC in our meter cabinet)
Soon I will acquire the domain name:    www.leibbrandt.com

When I have some more time I will update the Nebraska L-line;
I think that will please the Leibbrandts there.
You will be informed

The attached photo are three is the senior L-'s in the Netherlands:
Me, my brother and a nephew.

Best regards, Hans Leibbrandt in the Netherlands.
