Eleanor Land,
My name is Jim Erbes. I'm also researching my family tree. My great-grandfather came from a town called Appenhim, Germany. You mentioned that your great-grandfather was from Bubenheim, Germany. This is a town which is about 5-10 miles away from Appenheim.
My great-grandfather settled in Bureau County, IL. I don't know if there is a connection or not between your "branch" of Erbes or not. It does seem like there could be, but then again maybe not.
Let me know if I can help. Best of luck.
Jim Erbes
