Phillip was born at Mackenbach, Homburg, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany. His parents were Phillip Geib and Katherine Emmerich. His baptism may have taken place at Mackenbach in the Evangelical church (Hauptstraße 15 67686 Mackenbach) or at Weilerbach (to the east) or Steinwenden or Ramstein (to the west). Archion.de (a subscription site) would be the place to look for a Lutheran baptism record. If the family were Catholic, there are parishes in Ramstein and Weilerbach (1 mile from Mackenbach). https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20122039
Many other Geib families lived in the Steindwenden and Miesenbach area (by Mackenbach). At least two other Philipp Geib men were baptized in the Evangelical churches in these towns, causing confusion at the FamilySearch.org world tree. There is a Philipp Daniel Geib (GNTQ-GKG, born March 26, 1837) married to Elisabeth Stemler; and a Philipp Daniel Geib (963F-KRW, born Feb. 11, 1848) married to Elisabetha Jung and to Katharina Kleeman. The 1837 Philipp Geib's mother was Philippina Emmerich married to Johann Jakob Geib in Mackenbach.
Eleanore Geib Ropiak wrote in December 1987: "My father as I recall was born in Machenbach Germany border of Bavaria." However, researcher Paul Polansky of Spillville, IA wrote in December 1996: "Phillip Geib born April 28, 1869, at Lichtenberg, Solka, Bukovina." Paul may have confused Phillip's birth place with his wife Anna Fastner whose family lived in Solka, Bukovina.
The 1910 US Federal Census gives "Germany" as his birth place. The 1891 marriage record shows "Maggenbach Bavaria" as his place of birth.
Phillip emigrated from Antwerp, Belgium, on February 12, 1886, and arrived in New York on February 26, 1886. He declared his intention to become a United States citizen on April 19, 1919 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
