I have Daniel Schiller / Karoline Lemke who I believe are connected to 
my Leske and Steinbrenner families
but haven't found how also.  What I have for this family is: Daniel b. 
5/29/1822 f. Kristian
m. Marie Elizabeth ?. Married 10/27/1841, Turek, to Anna Karolina 
Lem(p)ke b. 11/10/1823 Borowiec to
Michael Lempke and Kristina Moritz. Daughter Julianna married Marcin 
Steinbrenner b. 1822 in Borowiec.
Checking my copies of marriage records for this area, I don't see this 
one, and I don't have any notes
on where I got this info from.

I have all of the Grodziec and most of the Stawiszyn films on permanent 
loan at my LDS center but
unfortunetly it closed about a year ago and I haven't sent the films to 
another center.

Many of the surnames found in Grodziec came to Milwaukee and must have 
kept in touch since the
Register of Visitors to my great-grandmothers funeral, Ludwika Leske 
Hammerling, are those surnames.
A Gene Schiller was one of them.
