Hi,
no, I am not related to them. I am from the (Lutheran) north of Oldenburg, Visbek is in the (catholic) south. I am also not so well informed about inheritance and naming rights in the south, but I guess Johan's parents would have been Ahlers.
Johan's (and his wife's) children would all be called Tonnies; probably hheir eldest son would get the farm.

I even remember from my area that the wife died later on, the husband remarried and his second wife received the farm's name - makes things a bit strange sometimes.
