o.k. anyone heard of the Tiebe families that came from Germany in the 1800's and settled down in the Springfield, Mass. area and somehow could have had an H added to the last name to be spelled Thiebe?

just wondering my father-in-laws parents stated on the u.s. census of 1930 that his parents were born in Germany and that he was born in Mass. in 1893. O.k. then I contacted a living Thiebe in Springfield, Mass and they stated look under Tiebe in the genealogy files on the web. just wondering????
