I also have Wietfeldt records that go back to 1563. I have fairly good family tree history for my ancestors from Borgdurf that go back to 1703. When I try to match what you say above I get close but notthing that is an exact match. My records show a Johann Carl Wietfeldt (b. 5/4/1785, d. 3/18/1865). However, while he had three different wives and 16 children I have no record of a son named Conrad. However, Johann Carl Wietfeldt had a brother named Johann Wilhelm Christian Wietfeldt (b. 12/5/1783, d. 5/11/1869) - note the same birth year and death as you had for Johann Karl. Christian Wietfeldt did have a son named Conrad (Wilhem Conrad Friedrich Wietfeldt) who was born in 1815, but my records show that this individual died at the age of 12 in 1825. Finally, Carl and Christian's father (Franz Christian Wietfeldt) also had a brotther who lived more than 60 years and I have no records on his marriages or descendants. Thus, all of your data could come from the uncle who would have had children about the same times as those listed above. The Wietfeldt farm is technicallly in Bennebostel, which is just outside Borgdurf, which is just outside Hannover.
