Seehusen Bridge Building

[Seehusen-Gustav]

Hello,
hoping someone could support me in finding our Seehusen Family roots in Denmark. 
I have traced and documented my own East Friesland Seehusen Branch in around Aurich, Germany.
My documentation from this branch covers family members in Germany of course but 
also great numbers in the USA and Australia.
My East Friesian Seehusen branch i have researched back without many gaps till 1600 ad. 
A challenge to find where they did connect into other Seehusen branches?

I thought there may be a connection to Jan Seehusen in Bredstedt who also went to Norway in the early 1600s?
Both were friesian North and east Friesian? The language bridge?

I realize its a long shot but i would appreciate any help or tips, 
regards Gustav

Be careful about hoping for a connection between Bredstedt and the Aurich-area; of course the Wadden Sea connected people: tradesmen and sailors got in contact along the coast of the Wadden Sea, but there are numerous places called Seehausen in Northern Germany, so there might also be many different families called Seehusen/Seehuusen.

The German search engine Metasuche at compgen.de lists some Seehusen of the 17th century - have a look there.

The Danish https://slaegtsbibliotek.dk/ lists literature of interest for family researchers. If you make a search for Seehusen at https://slaegtsbibliotek.dk/ you'll get hits from books containing the name. Some of them are genealogical studies
https://slaegtsbibliotek.dk/931662.pdf is Norwegian and mentions Seehusen at page 9
https://slaegtsbibliotek.dk/920219.pdf is Danish; Seehusen is mentioned in the index
https://slaegtsbibliotek.dk/920045.pdf mentiones a Seehusen family at page 41
etc.

Thankyou Inger, certainly gives me a few leads to follow.
As I mentioned I have documented the East Friesland Seehusens till 1600.

Before then the oral Family history tells of 3 brothers in or around 1600 living in Denmark who split up, one going abroad, the next staying in Denmark but in prison and the 3rd brother moving to Aurich/Leer - Emden area.

Thanks again and if you have any thoughts, let me know.
Mfg Gustav
