The brother of the drandpa of my wife was Hermann Uebel,born Sept.6, 1886 in Samotschin, West-Prussia, Germany (now: Szamocin, Poland. He was married to Maria Uebel, born as Maria Rensing in Lehe (now: Bremerhaven, Germany. They got a daughter Herma Uebel, born in Lehe May 5, 1912.
Hermann was employed as steward before World War I with "Kronprinzessin Cecilie", after the war with "George Washington", sailing between Bremerhaven and New York.
In 1922 he declared his (and his family) address as: 1100 Summit Ave., Jersey City, New Jersey.
Since that time he, his wife and their daughter vanished without trace.
I would be glad if anybody can give some further information.
