Greetings,
I am attaching a clip from a document that shows a location where an ancestor of mine was born. I am also attaching the entire document for reference. It is in German, but I am only interested in the name of the village. It is near Gnesen, as spelled here.

Thanks Dave

Dave,

The village name is written Odrowąsz (today orthography Odrowąż).
Gnesen is Gniezno. And the word in between the both could be Powiat or Kreis or a word designing a county.

There is one Odrowąż near Gniezno:

Odrowąż
woj. wielkopolskie
pow. gnieźnieński
gmina Witkowo

Best,
Elzbieta
