Landestreu was in Galicia, but unfortunately the transcription of the church records into the village family books currently ends at 1870 for the Ugartsthal parish, of which Landestreu was a part.

The parish record images for all the years are available on line at the web site of the Polish Archives here:

But the web site is in Polish, and the records are in German, so it's challenging and a bit tedious to go through them. FamilySearch has put together a guide for using the archive images here:

Not knowing where Maria was born is more of a challenge. She may have been born in Bukovina, in which case she will not show up in Galicia records, though her ancestors most likely came from there. The Hexels were concentrated in Dornfeld and Lindenfeld, but clusters were found in other villages. I helped someone out whose ancestors spelled the name Hecksel and had moved from Dornfeld to Dolina before going to the US.
