Hi, I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me search for information on Charles W Priebe. According to his WW2 army enlistment he was born in 1911 in Michigan. I believe that he spent the war in England, whilst there he married Margaret Fisher and they had a son.
His grandson has asked me to help him discover more about Charles but I am struggling a bit. I have his army number but not his social security number so I believe that we can't apply for his war records. I have looked up the US census, but I can't pinpoint which Charles Priebe is him. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks for any help.

The marriage certificate of Charles to Margaret should show his parents - have you got that ???
Did Charles return to the USA ???

Thanks for your great help, Sandra. You have helped us enormously. I did have to the marriage certificate but I passed it on to his family here without writing down the details , foolish I know.
I will be able to look at the census records now that I have more information.
Charles did return to the States and tried three times to get his wife and son to join him

Will send you a pm with a list of possible relatives.

Thanks to both of you. As there were two Charles Priebe from Michigan born around the same year, I was having difficulty narrowing down which was the correct person. Between you, you have helped us immensely. I will spend some time printing all this information out for Charles grandson.

Pleased to have helped - enjoy putting it together. ;)
