Carl Schreiber

According to family tradition, the original form of the name was von Schreiber.

Carl Schreiber was born in Naumburg, Germany, and his wife Henrietta was born in Leipzig. Leipzig is a city in east central Germany, politically independent until 1866 when it became part of Prussia. Naumburg is about 25 miles southwest of Leipzig. They immigrated to the U. S. from the north German seaport of Bremen aboard the Johannes, arriving in Baltimore on 5 May 1854. Carl was a butcher.

It wouldn't be unusual for Carl to have had relatives already living in Baltimore when he immigrated. There are two other Schreiber families in Baltimore that may possibly be related.
