Re: KATRINE (Catherine) ELIZABETH LEIS, b. 1838

gnsfife — 2009-09-16 12:57:16Z

I have a Catherina Leis in my family history. She was born in 1838 in Canada. Her parents were William Leis who was born in Hes Damstatt, Germany and her mother, whose name was also Catherina was born 1815 in Baden, Germany.

The parents moved to Michigan and were among the very early settlers in the Grand Traverse/ Leelanau county area.

My Catherina was one of 9 children living in the 1851 census of Canada West. She was the oldest at 13, and the children ranged in age down to 2. I do believe that there was at least one more child born after this as the parents had a "idiot" male named William living with them in their later years. (possibly a downs child who was born later in life.)

KATRINE (Catherine) ELIZABETH LEIS, b. 1838

dylyluv — 2007-03-10 06:35:57Z

Hi All,

Seeking any info on past generations of
KATRINE (Catherine) ELIZABETH LEIS, b. 1838

She was born in Germany, "somewhere outside of Berlin" (according to my late great-grandmother.

JOHANN THIELEMANN was her husband. As far as I have researched, neither of them made it to America, though their two children, CATHERINE THIELEMANN MEYER and JOHANN ADAM THIELEMANN did.

If anyone has LEIS ancestors from north-central Germany, please drop me a line.

Thank you,
Dylan

Re: Leis Family

My Grandmothers maiden name is Leis/Leiss. Her parents were John Leiss and wife Helena. I don't know her maiden name, I've just begun to search. I do know that they both died before 1947, maybe much earlier than that. My Grandma was born in 1914, and I believe she was in her early twenties when they died. Helena of Breast Cancer, John I dont know. If anyone has any information Please Email me. They were both of Ukraine descent I think, at least one of them were. Grandma doesn't remember much. I know she Helena and John had at least 4 children, John, Charles, Dotty, and my Grandma Mary (Baby) was what was on her birth certificate. Thanks.

We also have Catherine Leis marrying Christian Lichti, as well as Christian Leis marrying Catherine Lichti. We thought this might be incorrect - but now we see that you have the same!!
We also have a conflict about who John Leis married, although we do know that he was married twice.

Solomon Leis

2001-04-16 05:43:04Z

My mother's ancestors were Joseph Leis 1817 of Konigreich, Germany and Catharina kennel of Alsace, France. They had 13 children; I have most of their information. They are:
Noah, John, Magdalena, Christian, Joseph Jr., David, Catherine, Menno, Barbara, Daniel, Jacob, Veronica and Solomon all of them born, lived and died in Wellesley or Kitchener, Waterloo Co., Ontario.

I am decended from Solomon Leis. You have a Solomon Leis with the same birth date, but I have a different death date, spouse and mother. You have his mother as Catherine Roth, instead of Catherine Kennel. Solomon's wife was Anna Roegele and they had one child, Adeline Leis, my mother's mother, who died in 1999 at the age of 100. The parents of Anna Roegele are Fred Roegele and Helena Roth. So there are some similar names, but quite a lot of differences as well.
We have a marriage between Christian Leis and Catherine Lichti 15 June 1875.
Thanks for having a Mennonite resource page on your webiste. It is very helpful.
