We don't know any other Leibrandts!
My maiden name is Janis Kathryn Leibrandt.I have five siblings, Linda (Detroit, Virginia (Middlebury, Indiana), Ann Victoria (Cadillac, MI), Charles Raymond Leibrandt (Lodi, California) and James Raymond Leibrandt (Musekegon, Michigan).
Our father was Raymond Leibrandt (deceased).He had a half brother in Chicago, but there was no communication.I think this half-brother of my ftaher had a son that is Charlie Leibrandt a former professional baseball player.His picture is identical to my brother Jim.He was raised by his Leibrandt Grandparents and his Aunt Kathryn.Other aunts were Grace and Vendla.My brother in California has the Leibrandt family bible with many more family names.
Yes, I have sesen the Leibrandt Street in California.I think it crosses Raymond St.Quite a coincidence.
My father, Raymond Scheiber Leibrandt served in WWII and was in Holland, Germany, and Belgium.We have all the letters from the war that he wrote his Aunt Kathryn who took care of him when his mother died and his father left him in her care.His father later married and only took back my brother for a few years before giving him back to his sister.He died before his second son was fully grown.
Thanks for hearing my story!

By the way, my two brothers each have three sons so there will be six to carry on the Leibrandt name.
