I am not sure if there is any connection but my Grandmothers maiden name was Anna Belle Lei.In searching our family roots I found that her Great-great-Grandfather was Matthias Ley. He was born in Luxembourg in 1809. His son, my mothers great grandfather
imigrated to the USA and lived in Iowa.
Could the Lei/Lee name your looking for also be spelled Ley?
