Hi Michael, my great grandfather was Herman Carl Priebe also but I think different than yours.Mine came to Maryland in 1881 or 1882, we believe, and settled with wife Bertha Louise Fiebelkorn, whose father was from Hohenwardin (near Bad Polzin), Kreis Belgard, Pommern (now West Poland).That area may be where my Herman Carl came from also.My Herman Carl was born Mar. 15, 1869.On the funeral home records of his burial is listed Germany for the place of birth and the name August PRIBE (sic) as his father.This may or may not be correct because the records were not completely filled out.He named his oldest child, Bertha Augusta and next oldest child (my grandfather) August William.This makes me feel that his father was probably named August too.His other children were named Herman Henry, Willie (William?), Henry O., Robert Carl, Frederick C., Arthur S., Birdie (Bertha?) and Bessie.Many years ago when I was a child, my grandfather said Herman Carl was one of several (or seven?) brothers who upon arriving here (U.S.) split up due to a disagreement amongst them and spread out to settle in other states.He knew nothing of H. C.'s siblings or where they settled.We haven't found him on any ships listings but have found his wife Bertha Louise arriving in Baltimore on the S.S. Leipzig.Do you have any background on your Herman Carl?Please let me know if anything looks familiar.
