Help please deciphering word on Hamburg Shipping Document
« on: Saturday 05 October 24 05:11 BST (UK) »
Good morning,

Hoping someone can help me decipher word in second column Geburtsort (place of birth). I recognise the word Stargard but not the word underneath it.  Many thanks for any assistance.

Evening Justin, 

Thank you for confirming the place of birth is listed as Stargard, Preußen (Prussia). Unfortunately the Hamburg shipping document is not very clear

Bye E
