I may be able to help you some. There are two Adrians listed on the passenger list of the ship Agnes that embarked from Antwerp, Belgium and arrived in New York 7-16-1866. That is the same ship as my Grandma's family. Spelling has several variations--Hobeke, Hobecke, and Hobeecke. Tracy was the daughter of Jacoba Hobeke and Hubrecht VandenBoomgaard. Jacoba was born Aug 19,1868 in Ottawa County and died Oct 29,1927. Jacoba was the daughter of Anthonie and Thona Hobeke. Anthonie was born in Wolffarsdyk, Netherland about 1822 and died Dec 8, 1891 in Grand Haven. They were members of the First Christian Reformed Church in Grand Haven...you might check church records.
