Hello Jennifer, I note that the JÜRGENSEN family who emigrated by the "Humboldt" from Hamburg to Brisbane in 1870 were recorded as being from W. Langenhorn in Schleswig. Langenhorn is about 7 km north of Bredstedt. It is quite likely that the places recorded on the certificates are corrupted forms of some of the places in the Langenhorn/Bredstedt district.
