My cousins and I are researching the SANDERSFELD family. We know that our great grandfather Cassen Meenken SANDERSFELD b. 8-24-1875, was the only one in his family that came to the United States in the late 1800's. He eventually settled in the Gage County, Nebraska area. He was the oldest of six children of Meenke CaBen SANDERSFELD b. 12-5-1836, and Gesche Heyen GARRELS b. 6-15-1847. There were twins Heye Meenken and Jann Meenken b. 5-4-1877. They also had a sister Antje Meenken b. 8-27-1887 d. 3-18-1891. We would like very much to know about his long lost family in the Firrel, Hesel, and Strackholt areas of Ostfriesland, Germany. Some of his family names include SANDERSFELD, GARRELS, KEISER, DUIS, ALJETS, DIRCKS, and BRAU. Thank you everyone for any help you might be able to give us.
