German term or phrase: exsp.
In a genealogical record of the Buchwald(t) family, one member is described as:

Luise Charlotte Ottilie, geb. Jägersborg bei Kopenhagen 4. Juni 1867, exsp. auf Itzehoe.

The convent at Itzehoe is frequently mentioned in this record, since a few members of the family became nuns there. However, this must be something else, but I can find no explanation for the abbreviation "exsp." Any suggestions?

Du kannst das wahrscheinlich aber auch unübersetzt lassen.

postulant/candidate


Explanation:
When a woman formally enters the community, she is usually called a postulant or candidate. This stage could take six months or several years. The candidate/postulant lives in community for at least part of this stage. When a woman enters the novitiate, she is known as a novice and is called "Sister."
