You are in the correct messageboard as Deest is a village in Gelderland. It has about 1800 inhabitants. It is part of the gemeente (county) Druten. The prefix "van" means "of" or "from" So your family originates probably from this village. Site http://www.genlias.nl/en/page0.jsp has 25 grooms with surname Deest and prefix van. Most of them are in the provincie Groningen. The marriges are in the period 1812-1922. There are 36 birthes listed, all in Groningen, but birthes of many areas are not yet online. To find your ancestors more data is needed
