Migration of the Sheybe family
Much of German history has been shaped by the state of Prussia. It was an enduring military power until after the Second World War. At that time, the state was abolished altogether and its land divided between the Soviet Union, Poland, East Germany and West Germany. While some Prussians were content to remain in those countries, others moved away, many of them migrating to North America. They entered the United States mostly through Philadelphia, moving on to Ohio, Texas, Illinois, California, New York, and Maryland. Others went to Canada, settling on the prairies and in the province of Ontario. Among those of this surname listed in various historical records were: Hieronimus Scheib, who came to New York State in 1710; Hans Georg Scheib arrived in Philadelphia in 1733; as well as Martin Scheib. Johann Jacob Scheibe came to the same city in 1731.
