Hello! My name is Daniela Lepke and I'm searching for a brother of my grand-grand-father (Oswald Lepke) who should have been a Mafiosi in the America of the 30's. I'm not sure, but I think, Louis "Lepke" Buchalter is (has been) this brother.
Do you know, if there's any connection to the Lepke family or WHY he used the name Lepke? Typical for my family is, that most of them have legs, formed like an "O", dark hair and characteristical noses. This is really not a joke. If you have any information please contact me. Thanks in advance.
