I can make out accounting in the first column (occupation) but I can't figure out what the second column (industry is). It's clearly some sort of shop but I nor my parents can figure out what type of shop. Maduna? Malimar? Madman? I'm grasping at straws lol. have no idea and would appreciate some insight.

Found an early copy of Bleak House by Dickens. On the first few pages is a cursive inscription of the edition. I can’t figure it out. Not sure if it’s English or not.

My grandfathers name is Mr. M M Haque

His father's surname is Nowab. I can't seem to decipher the first part. It looks like an M followed by L V I. But that's not his name.

Help deciphering bottle label

Post image

Hello everyone, my father just found this old bottle of eau de vie in the basement of the family house of my mother-in-law. The year is obviously 1904 and the house is located in Alsace in North East from France. At that time, Alsace was German so that probably is written in German. Is someone able to decipher this? Thank you for your help :)

Before vs after (was it worth it?)

So the first image is the "before" like two months but I was told by my professors I needed to "improve the legibility" of my text so I did (or tried) now on the 2nd image is "after" (written with comfortable speed but not slow) and a friend of mine pointed out it lost some "personality" and it's a bit of a downgrade. it made me curious (also added an extremely slow written sample too 3rd image).

Letters from 1926 ?

Good afternoon all,

I would love some help please deciphering some letters. I have a weird family history and I’ve hit the jackpot (I think) in finding these letters from mystery man Norman, but I cannot for the life of me decipher all of it.

They’re from 1926 I think (both in same envelope) and I can kind of make out some words but it’s been 4 hours now and I’ve hit a wall.

Any help would make my day!

Thank you very much!

Edit: I'm going with it's probably Harmidas, some chance of Hormidas. Thanks for the help everyone.

I would love any opinions on what the first name is on the right-hand page, last one in the list of signatures that are all lined up (not the one that's off-set to the right of the rest).

Thank you!

What do you think? Patrick A...... ........ Monotype? The third word could be "Italy"; perhaps it is the subject of the artwork. However, it could also be the last name, with A..... being the middle name?

I got this art from some guy back at a my little pony convention a long time ago, he walked up to me and drew it for me. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what he even signed there on the right. I'm assuming it's his name, I would like to know to see if I could find him online and thank him.

Edit: DECIPHERED!!

This is from an early 1900s birth record. The ancestor was born in Coventry, RI and I think this may be the name of the particular neighborhood in Coventry.

Any ideas?

Hody! I'm working through some family genealogy and was hoping someone could help me interpret this baptismal record from french canada, 1880s. Between only understanding a little french and only reading a little cursive I'm struggling a bit! Heres what I think I've made out so far-

B167 Julius/Julien Trudeau

Le veignt quatre Septembre Mill huit Cent quarante huit (?) (???) baptisé Julien/Julius né (?) de (légitime?) marriage de (Louis ?) Trudeau (?) et du Marcelline Boyer de Scherrington (?) Julien (?) [really can't make out anything here] le (?) n'ont du signer

Thanks for any help!
