    Hi everyone!

    Is it possible to identify the location of these houses in Denmark with the writing on the back?

    Kind regards,

    Thomas

    Yes! I first read it as Østensaa or maybe Østernsaa but it turns out the n was a v, this would be Østervrå: Link (https) and Nordenbæk is the name of the farm and also the family name. It does not look like Øster Nordenbæk Link (http) so maybe it's Vester Nordenbæk. :-)

    Østervrå is in the north of Jutland (Vendsyssel) south-east of Hjørring. Nordenbæk is a farm-name I suppose, and also the name of the family, according to the signature.
    kind regards

    Many thanks for your remarks, too!

    What year approximately do you think has the card been sent?

    It says XXI before Wien. Wikipedia tells me Stadlau was in the 21st District from 1905-38 before being moved to the 22nd. But this looks older than 1938 anyway. :-) You could try googling Kristine Nordenbæk to see if you find someone born some time between 1900 and 1920...

    Except that she would have changed her name if she got married, so that complicates matters....
