Notes

  • Born in Tallinn, so probably not a son of Hans Leoke of Viljandi. Probably the "Leoke, Hans" whose declaration of intention (no. 214568) is indexed by the US District Court, Southern District of New York, 1917–50 (NARA NAID 61751317; M1675 roll 19): his Social Security number was issued in New York and he had a daughter born there in 1923. Not Hans the younger (L-013, b. 1888 Viljandi area) on present evidence.
