My 5th great grandmother was born in Denmark and I have her birth location from both the 1845 and 1855 census, but I can't read them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    @Greg Angell

    I read this as Laaland which is an old spelling of the island now called Lolland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolland). The only town on Lolland which ends in -köbing seems to be Sakskøbing, older spelling Sakskjøbing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saksk%C3%B8bing).
