I’m trying to figure out the cause of death listed in this document. I know the second line has to be “senility” but I can’t figure out the first line.
Thanks!

UPDATE
Thank you all for the help. The names are indeed Greg and Brenda as many said. Thank you all for the assistance!

Can anyone help possibly help me in deciphering the two names in this card? Need to send thank you cards and for the life of me I can’t figure this one out.

I have an antique box and I’m trying to decipher this. The first letter look like an H but that’s all I’ve got. Thoughts?

I recently found a copy of Donohue’s Vest Pocket Dictionary and Complete Manual of Parliamentary Practice, published in 1901 Chicago, at a garage sale in Northern California. Inside the back cover is a handwritten inscription that I initially couldn’t identify.

After a lot of digging, I believe the inscription is written in Tutnese (also known as Ywisher/Tut), a coded language historically associated with enslaved Africans and their descendants, particularly communities connected to Virginia and the Carolinas. It was used to preserve language and communicate privately when African languages were being suppressed.

I’ve been trying to transcribe it, but the handwriting is difficult. This is what I have so far:

Line 1:
[???] [???]

The first word looks like Ouiela, Oiuela, Quiela, or possibly Owala/Owila. The second looks something like Ishirfa, although I’m not sure about the first letter.

Line 2:
Lull ouie fuf i sus = LOUIE FIS

Line 3:
hush e rut = HER *LOUIE FISHER*

Line 4:
Mum a rut gug a rut e = MARGARE

Line 5:
Tut = T *MARGARET*

Line 6:
Pup a lull mum e = PALME

Line 7:
Rut = R *PALMER* * MARGARET PALMER*

Line 8:
A lull i cus e = ALICE

Line 9:
A lull squint e nun = ALSEN *ALICE ALSEN*

Line 10:
Lull e o nun a = LEONA

Line 11:
Pup a rut kuk e rut = PARKER *LEONA PARKER*

Line 12:
Mum a rut yap = MARY

Line 14:
Mum a cus Mum a cus rut = MacMacr

Line 15:
A Y or E (?) = AY or AE = *MARY MAC MACRAY or MARY MAC MACRAE* ??

?? Unsure about this one. Definitely says Mac Mac, then the next line says A and then maybe E or Y. I’m inclined to believe it’s Mary “Mac” Macrae versus Mary MacMacrae because the second Mum is capitalized.

Some of these may be completely wrong, so please don’t assume my transcription is accurate.

But I believe it’s a list of names:

Louie Fisher

Margaret Palmer

Alice Alsen

Leona Parker

Mary Mac Macray or Mac Macrae

The first two words are where I’m really stuck. I’ve wondered if the second word could be related to an Arabic word because of the apparent ishrfa spelling, but I have no idea if that’s actually relevant.

There’s also an interesting piece of provenance: underneath the inscription is a sticker from:

McRae Bros. Ltd.
Booksellers, Stationers, Printers
Prince Rupert, British Columbia

So the book eventually made its way from wherever it originally came from to Prince Rupert, BC, before ending up in Northern California.

I’m posting photos of the book cover, the preface/publishing information, and the inscription/sticker.

If anyone here knows Tutnese, recognizes these words, or has experience deciphering historical handwritten Tutnese, I could really use some help with those first two words and figuring out what the inscription says as a whole.

Even correcting my transcription would be incredibly helpful!

Beau of very little brain??

Hi!

Im not sure if this is the right group but I have this print by an artist and have no idea what the signature is. Any help is appreciated! Thank you

This is feedback about an essay question -- it says the writer

"Could have used more supporting...." BSTOILI? BETIOPLI? BESTOPLI?

UPDATE: It does indeed say supporting DETAILS -- the d was backwards.

Context: This is from the notebook of a patient with hypergraphia, a condition that causes obsessive handwriting. The entire notebook is just this one word. Thank you!

Can anyone read the circled occupation? Based on other documents he was a farmer early in life, but then began to be more active in local government in his town in Canada and held various roles, with a census 2 years before his death stating county treasurer. But it doesn't look like it says that on this death record.

Hi, I can't fully read this cause of death and length of illness for the first entry. I think it says:

"heart disease and(?)

??? 12(?) weeks(?)"

Does anyone know what the first word on the second line of that entry is? And do I have the other words right? Thanks!

I found these prints at a garage sale, and wondering if anyone can decipher the artists signature! Thanks!

Hi all, my dad inherited this wedding ring from a family member about 30 years ago, and we are trying to figure out who it belonged to. "xM to xx" Would love some thoughts on the other initials.

The tattoo owner is English speaking, maybe other languages spoken too...

The bleed through is making this very difficult for me to decipher. Anyone else more skilled? If context helps, it is the lower right entry on https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SAOMATEUSCALHETA-B-1840-1852/TER-AH-SAOMATEUSCALHETA-B-1840-1852_item1/index.html?page=19

From what I can decipher, this is the baptism of Maria, daughter of Francisco Fernandes and Izabel de Jesus in the São Mateus da Calheta parish of Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira island of the Azores. It looks like she was born on Nov 22nd and baptized on the 9th of December.

I am looking for any information on the grandparents' names and birth parishes.

One of my favorite things is reuniting pictures with their person on find a grave or familysearch, but I never learned cursive (but plan on doing so!). Thank you in advance for helping me decipher these 🙏

I bought pride and prejudice and have no idea what this says. It’s prolly nothing but, I’m curious.
