Louis Liebross, my great grandfather on my mother's mother's side of the family, is buried in Mount Lebanon Cemetery in Queens, New York (Workman's Circle block, Section J, Line 1, Grave 8) next to his wife Bertha Wenkert Liebross. I recorded the Liebross family graves in the cemetery in September 2008. 

Leizer Liebross was born about 1863.[1] He lived in Radauti, Romania (then Radautz, Austrian Empire) before emigrating.[2]
