This is from the 1870 US Census - the location of birth in Germany that I am trying to identify.

I can tell from the other entries that 1. The enumerator did name locations within Germany, and 2. the first letter is definately an F, based on a comparison to "Farmer", which he frequently wrote.

I do know that one of the people was born in 1827 in Hosterhof...more specifically Uchtelfangen (the part of Illingen where the office was at the time), district Ottweiler, County Trier.

Does anyone recognize the place written on the image?

Thank you,

Rick.
