Correcting the Family Tree: STEINER or GALANDAUER

Along time ago (back in 2012), I got an email from Leslie after he spoke to his mother about the genealogy of Devorah Weisz (our common ancestor who was married to Meir Kuttner). Her father's name was Mor/Moshe Weisz, and according to the information Leslie said in his mother's name, Mor/Moshe's
wife was named Regina Galandauer. I also have an email from Shoshi Horowitz in Hebrew where she seems to confirm this connection. But in his last email in that discussion, Les wrote that his mother said there's a mistake in what he said but he never corrected it. 
So I'm not sure if there is where the mistake is, but I got an email yesterday from a genealogical researcher named Lynn Pollak Golumbic, who wrote that actually Mor/Moshe Weisz's wife was really named Regina STEINER, not Galandauer, and it was really Regina's MOTHER, whose maiden name was Kritzler, who descends from the GALANDAUER/KRITZLER/POLLAK/SPITZ family (although technically, not Galandauer). It all makes sense and she sent me some documentation about this (see here), but I was wondering if we can verify this indepently. 
Does it make sense that Gynogi Neni confused Galandauer with Steiner when talking about her grandmother's maiden name? Can somebody ask Szori Neni about this so we can get to the bottom of this?
