I have just received a copy of a marriage entry from the State Archives and
am having trouble decyphering the apparently beautiful handwriting! One of
the difficulties is that there is no consistency in the way the same letter
is written.

Can anyone help me with

(a) two place names in Schlesweg, Germany (probably the part which has now
returned to Denmark) which looks like AUGUSlenBERG (I have capitalised the
letters I feel pretty sure about) and SKAISkoP

and

(b) a Danish/German surname which looks like FreDEREkatlANdeu (again I
have capitalised the letters I think I can recognise)

and

(c) a female Danish/German Christian name GunTHA

Thanks in anticipation.

Elaine
PS I was wondering at the occupation of one person which I thought was
listed as "Hunkman" until I realised that it was Huntsman! -- what a
letdown, thought I'd fought a really interesting ancestor for a moment : ))
