Hello Thiele
Your title mentions Dresden. Are you stating the family came from Dresden?
If so then this may narrow your search for records in Germany.
For the time period you give you would need to address any searches to the Churches in Dresden depending on what religion he was ie Catholic, Lutheran, Jewish etc. As most of us do not know this - one has to work by trial and error ie contacting the church authorities for each religious organisation in turn.
Approaching the archives in Dresden if that is the place the Thiele's came from maybe a shortcut
This is their website
http://www.dresden.de/en/02/anliegen/archiv.phpI am sure RC's on the sister site or this one can help with the German translation you will require to complete the forms
