Place of birth in Austria

Post by paola52 »

Buongiorno
I am researching a group of families from Bisuschio, Northern Lombardy, that in 1850-1860 worked as stonecutters and sculptors in various building sites in the then Austrian Empire. They usually stayed away for some years, with their wives and children, then came back home. In the Stati d'anime of the parish are listed many children born in Moravia, Galicia and so on, and sometimes the place of birth is very difficult to understand, as the pastor had a peculiar handwriting
Can someone please help with the place of birth of Ambrogio Bianchi, that looks a lot like "Visbaden". His foglio matricolare simply states "Austria", but names no town. The place of birth for the other family members is Bisuschio, written in the top right corner
Thanks
Paola

Might it possibly have been Germany rather than Austria? There is a town in Germany called Wiesbaden, "sounds like Visbaden". Just a thought.
