I have a problem that I hope someone might be able to help me with. On the 1885 Kansas Census my gr grandparents-- Johann Christian Fredrich Schild ---- stated that they were from Unt ? Oldenburg, Prussia. I am unable to decifer what the Unt is? It could also be Aud, Auct, Aent --- I just can't figure it out. I am reasonably sure they came from the city of Oldenburg in Niedersachsen, of course I have been wrong once or twice before!
In all other paperwork I have found they only refer to being born in and coming from Oldenburg.
Can anyone help me out as to what this might be?
Thanks, Karen
