I think on the original page the birthplace looks like Danzic (should have been spelt Danzig) which is in Poland and is now known as Gdansk.

It looks like Dantric to me. Considering the other enumerator's handwriting also on the same page.

Don't forget that the enumerator is only writing down what he 'hears'...

Since the 16th century,[7] the majority of the city's inhabitants were German-speakers, who called it Danzig ['dants?รง] ( listen). This name was also used in English[8] until the end of World War II, and is still used in historical contexts. Other former English spellings of the name include Dantzig, Dantsic and Dantzic.

(this from google on above link)
