I need a reading on a city name in a marriage record.
The first record on this page is the marriage record for Carl Wilhelm Hoffman and Anna Justine Bittner. I would like a reading on the city Anna Justine Bittner's father Johann Adam Bittner is from. It looks like Hauland Slobnica to me but I can't find that in Meyersgaz.org. The microfilm number is 1194962 which is Kirchenbuch, 1826-1874 for Evangelische Kirche Obersitzko (Kr. Samter), so assume this city is part of Kr. Samter.
Thanks in advance.

Hello again Terry,
I read the place in the marriage record as: Hauland Stobnice. This appears to be the place called "Stobnica Hauland" that was recorded in the Hamburg passenger list but in reverse order.
There are two places in Meyers Gazetteer which begin with the word "Hauland": Hauland in Kreis Obornik, Posen, and Hauländerein in Kreis Birnbaum, Posen. I did not find any place called "Hauland Stobnice" in Meyers.
Since Kreis Samter and Kreis Obornik bordered one another, it is likely that "Hauland Stobnice" as written in the marriage record is actually Stobnica Hauland.
