Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
These were my great grand parents, and Otto was my grandpa. I live in Douglasville, GA and Otto's children, Dale and Joyce are in Ellenton, FL. Dale is my father.

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
My mother talked about her cousin Dale all the time. I am assuming this is the same person. I never met him though. We have just recently moved to Florida, so I am very late in replying - sorry.

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
Daniel,
I have been working on the Pribernow family. I have found them in the 1920 census and just yesterday found August in the 1930 census in Bainbridge, Berrien county. Have you found them in the 1910 census?
Also, I believe, August's father was "Wilhelm" Pribbernow. In one of the sources I have, it states that there were seven children. Have you found the other two or is my source wrong?

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
Yes, Ferdinand August Pribbernow's father was Wilhelm and his mothers name was Doraterra Gettig. August and Louise had five children: Otto, Richard, Herbert, Anna, and Ella. I do not have any information on August's siblings. I do know there were other children and I believe August was one of the younger ones. So there may have been seven children. Many German/Pommern farm families had numerous children. I haven't been able to find them in the 1910 census. They arrived in America on October 4, 1907, so they should be there. But sometimes the census did not catch everyone, especially transient farmer/laborers who were not citizens.

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
Check "August Prebenean" on Ancestry.com for Pribbernow in the 1930 census. I found the 1910 census. Check under "Aug Trebbernow". In the 1910 census, it list Louise with 4 children with two living, but they only had two children when they came over in 1907.
How did you come up with Ferdinand? I have not come across it that I find connected to this August. Even in his WWI draft registration, there was no middle name. German records are so hard to get!

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
His Petition for Naturalization and Oath of Allegiance both list his legal name as Ferdinand August Pribbernow.
My grandfather was Richard Pribbernow and I have several papers that probably aren't in easily obtained records. Which family line are you from? I am trying to put together the family trees from Wilhelm on done to present day relatives. The family is fairly small so it shouldn't be hard to do. Again, I have all the information on Richard Pribbernows family. Anna did not have any children, nor did Herbert (one adopted). So that leaves Otto's or Ella's family. Otto had two children - Dale and Joyce. Dales daughter Tracy is researching and will be providing information about Ottos family. I know virtually nothing about Ellas.
I did find Trebbernow in the 1910 census - Thanks. Louise must have had two other children in the US that died. You are correct that only two were born in Germany that came to the US. Herbert was born in May of 1910 in the US. There was a gap between Richard (b1904) to Herbert (b. 1910) that could easily have had two children. They were married in 1902, so Otto and Richards births were fairly soon after marriage, with no other time available in Germany.

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
I am not from this family. I was working on an allied family and got off on a tangent. I do that frequently. I was working on the Rynberg line. I would like to get a copy of August's Petition for Naturlaization and Oath of Alligiance it I could. and anything else that you could send along and deem valuable to this research. I will check on Ella and see if I come up with anything. Email tccampbelltm@gmail.comWhat would you like from me? Thanks, Tim

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
Dan, is your mother Norma? I'm guessing so, which makes you my cousin Dan ;) My father is Wayne Pribbernow. I was looking up information on Grandpa (Richard) Pribbernow and ran across this site - what a small world!
There is also a great source on facebook - not sure if you are on there. It is called the Pribbernow Clan group. A few people on this site have worked quite hard at getting the information as far back as they can.

Re: Ferdinand August Pribbernow
Yes, my mother was Norma and Wayne is my uncle. If you send me your email address, I can send you what information I have on the family. danielkrause52@gmail.comI am on Facebook and will look up that site. I live in Fort Myers, Florida now, but am connected on Facebook to Kitty and Sharon. I'll see if I can find you too.
