According to his death certificate, he was born in Berlin, but I have no idea what sector. I do not have a middle name, all I have is Frank (Frances) Riebe, born July 24, 1850. It is possible that he may also have had the name Wilhelm or Carl (Karl?) Unfortunately, all his papers were destroyed in a house fire some years back and the relatives that would have known something about him, have all passed away. Per, naturalization paper (a copy) he immigrated to the United States in November, 1871. Have not been able to find his Declaration of Intent. Will probably have to make a trip later to East Palestine, Ohio (where he settled, later moving to Alliance, Ohio, where he passed away in 1925. I have copies of the 1880, 1900, 1910 census records, but he is missing in the 1920 census records. My grandfather was raised Luthern. I have searched various spellings, such as Rebe, Reby, Ribey, Rabey, and such. Is there someone that may! > give me the origin of the name Riebe? Any help would be appreciated, I am new to researching, and know that I have a long way to go. All census records indicate "Prussia" with various immigration dates. Have information on his family line once he was in the United States, but nothing previously. He was unmarried at the time he came here. > Thank-you. > Sandy Browning > Missouri, USA > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PRUSSIA-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
