Born 19th of
February 1936 in Knees to parents Anselm Leeb
and wife Teresia Lay.
Alex
Leeb has been
a part of the DVHH since it's beginning and he is considered our "resident
father of genealogical information" because
he can can make a connection for just about
anyone. Alex has written several articles
regarding Donauschwaben history, culture and
lifestyle. German being his mother tongue and
being fluent in English, he has translated numerous items for the
DVHH. Due to his contributions to the DVHH
archives and the Donauschwaben community at
large will remain forever with us. |
You can see, Alex has
numerous contributions to
the DVHH and associated
villages. Although his expertise
is Banat, he provides the DVHH with much more.
In 2005, Alex initiated and
continues to coordinate our
Letters From the Homeland - Translation Assistance Program. Besides being a Resource
Contributor and a Mentor,
Alex is an
member of the DVHH
Administration Team, one of
the
Banat
Regional Coordinators and
was the
DVHH
Mail List Administrator from Feb 2006 to Jan 2009.
Our mail list subscribers
were fortunate to have had him
looking after us!
Alex has been very
generous with his time and contributions to
the DVHH project, which
generations to come will
enjoy and appreciate.
Thank you Alex for keeping the Danube Swabian
legacy alive!
