If you think he is the same as Alois/Aloyzy Gondek, then all of the other census records conclude his parents were Andrew and Dorotha Gondek. Here's the 1900 census from Milwaukee:
Name: Alois Gondek
Home in 1900: Milwaukee Ward 11, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Age: 3
Estimated birth year: abt 1897
Birthplace: Wisconsin
Relationship to head-of-house: Son
Father's name: Andrew
Mother's name: Dorotha
Race: White
Occupation: View image
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Andrew Gondek 51
Dorotha Gondek 47
Frank Gondek 15
Elizabeth Gondek 12
Rosie Gondek 9
Martin Gondek 7
Jennie Gondek 5
Alois Gondek 3
Stanislaus Gondek 2
Joseph Szpotek 34

But if you think Lee is someone other than Alois, mainly because he lists his place of birth as Michigan on the 1930 census, then we need to contact the Wayne Co Clerk's Office and get a copy of the marriage license application.

It's even more curious when you crosscheck against the Wisconsin births from the era. Stanislaus Gondek (Alois' little brother) is listed, but no Alois....ahhhh, but there is an Edward...and he's exactly the right age...and Edward is a common alias for Alois.
