Aarhus Street Name
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 10:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi folks, I’m in Aarhus tracing my wife’s Danish family. Unfortunately, they appear to change address every 20 minutes or so!  I’m struggling to decipher this one. Any help would be most appreciated.

Sorry, missed the first bit. Ole Rainers vej. Street named after a person.

There's a street called Ole Rømers Gade but snippet ends in vej not gade  :-\
I've found this site very useful in the past but can't find anything under R-

Thanks.

Our most recent Danish waiter suggested that as well. It’s in the same part of town as some of the other addresses; so we’ll have a look there.

Ole Ræ ...

I thought I saw a dot over what I took to be an i, not an e. The n or perhaps m is joined too; isn’t it just cursive handwriting?

Not yet tried the Old Town Museum - that might have to wait till the next visit!

The Danish cursive writing (and ‘different’ letters) has been awkward.

It’s taken from a Church record from 1900.

Thanks, all!
