In generel, reading on Ancestry.com about the emigration to the US, it would seem that the name Fiebig is originating from Poland and Germany.

On Ancestry.com, the following information appears about Amelia Anna Fiebig, born to Johann and Wilhelmina Fiebig in Zabartowo, West Prussia, north of Bromberg in 1857. She married Julius C. Oelke in Klein Bartelsee, near Bromberg, Posen (Poznan in Poland) in 1876, and had three children before emigrating to Montague, Michigan in 1881. She had two brothers, Hermann and Wilhelm, who remained in Germany. One of Hermann's children was Otto Fiebig who married Erna Weber and raised a family in Leverkusen, Germany

On the map, Zabartowo is 4 miles SE of Wiecbork (Vandsburg in German).
