Hi!
I know this board is a little old, but I was doing some research myself on the Tiebe family name. My connection to them is through Theodore Tiebe. From what I know, he was born in Germany (Saxony) in Jan 1846. Moved to Ohio in 1852, then onto Nauvoe, Ill in 1855. Joined the Union Army in 1862, wounded at Vicksburg in 1863. He then moved to Fayette, Ohio where he later married a Sarah Elma Lyle in 1879. From that union, was born a daughter named Elizabeth Marie Tiebe - she married Andrew Jackson Brown in 1902 and Andrew was my great grandfather.
From what I understand and from the research my great uncle did before me, Theodore Tiebe had a brother named William Tiebe.
Their father was Henry Tiebe who was married to a Margaret (1st wife), then a Elizaveta (2nd wife).
I think we are talking about the same Tiebe family, if so I would like to touch base with you more on getting more information on the Tiebe's.
Please feel free to contact me. I would be glad to share any information I have as it pertains to Theodore Tiebe.
Thanks
