Lorri,
there is no town Bergfeld in Hesse, there are 2 or 3 towns by that name in other states.
Of course it might help if you'd tell us the name of the immigrant, date of arrival/name of ship so that we can check the actual passenger ship list rather than a transcription.

Hi, Lorri ~
Check JewishGen Communities Database at http://www.jewishgen.org/Communities/Search.asp (you may have heard of it as "ShetelSeeker", the prior name that means the equivalent of "hometown".
A Bergfeld search comes out as today's Barchfeld, Hessen-Nassau, Preußen. Since I know nothing about German geography (Prussia was near Germany, wasn't it? .^_^.), I'll leave you to follow the links from the search. And to any comments other Listees care to make. In addition to this list's webpage & forum, there's a Rootsweb list called Prussia-Roots that's very helpful with these kinds of questions, though I haven't been there in at least 1+ years.

Good luck, Julia
