Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Street name
« on: Wednesday 12 May 21 03:23 BST (UK) »I'm hoping someone may be able to help me decipher the name of a street where my relative was living in the 1860 census for Holstein, which was at that time part of Denmark. From what I can see the language used on the census was actually German and the handwriting unfortunately for me is in the German style. I seem to have no problem reading Norwegian and Polish records but German is always a challenge. What I am looking at is near the top of the page (the 5th line down near the left) following Name der Strasse...then the handwritten portion of that line. My guess is Neustadt ?? I looked at some of the streets in the town thinking this might be a candidate, but of course it looks nothing like the modern lettering. Do you agree or perhaps I've missed it all together and it's something else. I appreciate any suggestions.
