Just got the book back today, there are no Theesfeld's, but are you sure
that far back they used that name. They could have used just Hinrich
Behrens and Behrend Hinrichs - be sure to check! They could have taken
the name of Theesfeld in 1811 when a surname was mandated. In fact, I
think your family is on page 566 - and there is no Theesfeld! I will
copy the page and send it to you with your other pages! Lin
