Figuring out the town of origin
Hello! I am trying to help my neighbor to find her family and our consultant said we have to have the town of origin. We found this record which I believe shows the town of origin--this family is shown as the last family on the right hand page. I tried Hohe for the town in Meyers Gazetteer and I couldn't figure out which Hohe it would be. We tried Hutten--and that didn't work either. I am so grateful for any help on the town of origin. Thank you so so much!

I think the location given on the lefthand side is:
im Dorfe Lohe, Hohner Harde, Kirchspiel Hohn, Amt Hütten
This is a location in Schleswig-Holstein, see link in Meyers: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/20089074
Harde is an old scandinavian/danish designation of an administrative district that was also used in the Schleswig Duchy (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harde).
The parish Hohn is here: https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10825093
Amt Hütten is a still existing administrative unit in this area, although its extension has changed over time.

Whoa! Amazing! No wonder I could not find that in Meyers! I was so far off. Thank you so much! I can't wait to tell the sister I am helping that you decoded that and we have the hometown now! Thank you so much! Bless you for your kindness in looking at that for us!
