Hi Heiko - thanks!

Are you related to the Visbek Ahlers?

So, just to be sure, when looking for the parents of Johan Alerd Ahlers 
genannt Tonnies, I would look for Ahlers as a last name for his father?

And when Johan Alerd Ahlers genannt Tonnies had a son, the first son 
would be a Tonnies (and inherit the farm)?  Would the other children be 
Tonnies too? or Ahlers? or Ahlers genannt Tonnies?

Annette
