Can anyone read this German place name? It's from the 1860 Webster Co, MO
census.

In 1870 for the same person the birth place is Hesse Germany.

The place name I can't read is written above the word Germany. The next line
is Saxon Ger. and then Pa for Pennsylvania and finally Ger. Unknown State.

It looks like Ulmaulla to me but someone German or with a better grasp
on German research than I will have to take it from there.

You may have found it already, but I've been looking at it off & on since you
posted and the best I've been able to come up with is "Illmanstadt".
Unfortunately, that one doesn't find a match in ShtetlSeeker or a current
list of German cities.

FWIW

There's a hint in the filename. :-) The HQ image had a little better

I also thought it looked like "Illmanstadt" but when that didn't pan out, I
thought maybe Sumanstadt. That is close to a phonetic spelling of
Semmenstedt. When I searched on [Semmenstedt Hesse] Google also suggested
Sommerstedt as an alternative.
