Hey Hans this is the email response Wojtek sent me to show the link through Ingersheim Stamm I... 
Hans Leuprandt (Leibbrandt), born in 1605, died on 2 July 1690 was our ancestor in a direct line, he was the mayor of Klein Ingersheim. 
On the website WWW.Leibbrandt.com look for the following: Ingersheim Stamm I (Anfang/Begin~1605). In the 5th generation (GEN.5) you should find Jakob Jonathan born on 1 October 1753. 
Jakob Jonathan sold the farm which he owned in Klein Ingersheim and left for Poland in 1803/1804. He settled in the area around Warsaw. Why did Jakob Jonathan settle in Poland? After the third partition of Poland, in 1795, Warsaw, Piaseczno and the area around these towns were (until 1806) under Prussian rule, in the so called South Prussia. The settlement covered royal and church properties (land) which had belonged to the Piaseczno County and then devolved to the Prussian government. The choice to organize settlement on these territories was because of the fact that Prussian authorities followed the safety reasons and some economic considerations as well as the need for Germanization. Favourable conditions for settlement persuaded many families, mostly from the Principality of WÃ¼rttemberg on the Danube and the Principality of Palatinate on the Rhine, to colonize these territories. The settlement lasted from 1801 to 1806. Roughly 80 towns were colonized around Warsaw. (I will send you the maps of these areas). 
The following colonies were founded: 
Alt Ilvesheim  Stara Iwiczna, Neu Ilvesheim  No Nowa Iwiczna, Ludwigsburg  JÃ³zefosÅ‚aw, Schweningen â€“ Kolonia Åšwiniary  OrÄ™Å¼no. 
Our ancestors owned lots of land, they can be considered rich people. 
Where is the second „B" from the surname missing? When the German settlers arrived in the Polish territories their surnames were put down in a phonetic way, at the beginning (starting from 1808) in Polish and after 1867 in Russian. The surname was "polonized". And that is why the second „BB" is missing. In Poland the following transcriptions of this surname can be found: Leibbrandt, Leibrandt, Lejbrandt, Leibrant, Lejbrant. 
In accordance with the data I possess, at the beginning of the 90. of the twentieth century in Poland there were: Leibbrandt  8 persons, Leibranddt  47 persons, Lejbrandt  25 persons, Leibrant  â€“ 6 persons, Lejbrant  2 persons. 
Who is Ryszard L.? Ryszard L. (born on 25 December1899  died in 1994) was your grandfather's Juliusz brother (born on 10 November 1906  died in ?)  see page 94. He was the author or of the "Book of the Leib(b)randt Family". What is the "Book of the Leib(b)randt Family? It is a description of the history of the Leib(b)randt Family, in particular the town called Klein Ingersheim. The author, Ryszard L. describes the everyday life of people who lived there, the history of the castle, the history of the church. It took 98 pages to describe it. I called this story "Book of the Leib(b)randt Family". I do not have the copy of the whole book. As soon as I copy it I will send it to you. 
In Poland, in Warsaw there still lives your grandfather's sister - Zofia (born on 18 May 1919). She took her husbands name - Zofia Zienkiewicz and lives with her daughter. Here's the address:
