Spelling Variations for "Hefenieder"

Among modern Hefenieders in the US, there are a variety of spellings:  Hefeneider, Hefeneader, etc.

Looking through the German Personnel Rosters for WWI, additional possible spellings are abundant:

Hafeneder
Hefeneder
Hofeneder
Heifeneder
Hofemeder
Habeneder
Habenetzer
Hobeneder

These would be a branch of the family that stayed behind when the immediate ancestors pulled up stakes for Russia.

I also found some Hefeneders immigrating to Buenos Aires, Argentina in the early 1900's -- possible relations, too, perhaps.
