Probably Büdesheim (Buedesheim,Rheinhessen). Try this. You can use Via Michelin (map) enter a place and it lists all others with similar sound.

I am sorry to say I do not know much about German geography. I have found that my husband's grt grt grandfather Gerard Henrich Wildemann was born in Albersloh, Wesfalen, Preussen in 1832. I can find nothing about ships, papers etc. He next shows up in the 1860 census of Texas. Could someone tell me what to do next. Also where is Budescheim, Reinhausen, Hesse? His wife Anna Wink was born there. (they married in Texas).Thank you very much.
