Need Help with Birth Location
This 1900 census record on line 84 shows an individual I am researching. He is a son of Ida shown on line 76. I can't make out the birth location of the Father. Here is what I hope is a better image of that section.
Thanks…

I think I have bad news and hope that someone reads this differently. It looks to me that the enumerator first wrote "Ind Ter" like the preceding dozen entries but then wrote on top of that "unknown." The darker ink sure looks like all the other "unknown" on the page down to the long tail on the final "n."

@Mark McKenzie_1 , When you request help with handwriting, it's always helpful to provide a link to the record. There are all sorts of clues on the larger record that can help in deciphering the particular written text.

I think the collective opinion of 'unknown' is the most likely candidate Thanks @Gordon Collett and @JoyLee8

( @Alan E. Brown , he did. It's the blue "1900 Census" link. That's where I went through all the lines to compare the entries. )

@Mark McKenzie_1 In my experience, FindMyPast usually has the best image quality of the majors on the US census records. Unfortunately, the one on FMP is not much better. There are some contrast/brightness controls that may help.
