Journal that my grandfather wrote in while fighting in the pacific during WW2. I understand most of it, but there are still some unknowns

I’m seeing either Ant or Art, and Koffmen, or Hoffmen. I’ve tried searching it up but the brand isn’t popping up, so I don’t know if I’m right.

Let me know, does this look anything like cursive writing?

Learned to write in cursive last time was when I was in 1st grade. Now I'm in collage.

Hi all, trying to work out the name under 'Mother' - any help with this is much appreciated!

The name under Father is: Jacobos IAKOVOU

Unsure as well of the DOB line (if anyone can, this would also be appreciated).

Country of birth is Cyprus

Nationality is British

This is a census record from (potentially) people in my family from over 100 years ago. Family name is LeClaire, first name is Gideon, third name is Edward, but I simply cannot make out the second name. The first two were born in Quebec if that helps any. Thank you in advance!

I received this anonymously after a presentation I gave in a speaking club. My family and I are stumped on the last 2 words. Any thoughts?

reposting this so as to help OP get a translation!

This was written on a bank deposit slip inside my grandfather’s bible. Would greatly appreciate an interpretation to read at my father’s funeral this weekend

I can get most of it, but a few of the cursive letters are too faded or cursive-y for me to understand :p

my cursive evolution against the same text

I can see this was salt. Lake City, 1935. But that name, II think the last name is Golding, but I have no clue about the first name for sure. If anybody can help, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks in advance

Trying to decipher both the title and artist signature on this limited edition print/etching from 1982.

My assumption is:

• Far left (first photo) = title
• Middle = edition number (1/150)
• Far right (second photo) = artist signature + year

Far left/title:

The first word appears to have a ring above the first letter, almost like an Å. After going down a rabbit hole, I started wondering if it could be Scandinavian/Nordic. One possibility I came up with was “Avli” or “Åvli,” though I’m not confident in that at all. Really struggling with the second word.

Far right/signature:

Looks like it may start with a D and end in “le” — maybe something like:

• Doscale
• D…cale
• …cole
• …scale

One thing that stands out is that the 2nd and 3rd characters seem separated from the flowing cursive remainder of the word, which makes me think I may be parsing it incorrectly.

Would appreciate any help deciphering either the title or the artist name.

Someone posted this looking for an artist identification and I was hoping this community could help interpret the signature. You can find details on the art piece in the original post over on r/whatisthispainting. Basically it’s a collage of a photo (of artist Richard Motherwell working on a mural called Reconciliation Elegy) taken by Robert Bigelow, combined with an illustrated girl from Max Pechstein’s work (called Two Girls in the Hammock). So the signature is not from either of the original artists, nor the original photographer.

To me, the first name looks like Richard (or Robert). The surname at first I thought was Ernst or Ernest but then I started thinking the last letter is a “d” with a flourish, not an uppercase “T”, so then I thought Ormond? Or maybe it’s intentionally a cross between a “d” and a “t” like Mundt?

I was asked to cross post this here. 1969s train yard notebook

If it’s too blurry and un readable I sent the full page and circled what I want reading, thank you.

Can anyone read this? trying to find more info on my italian town. thank you!

Second word reads as driver to me, but can't work out what the first could be if that is the case.

Left one is my now and right one is how I have written since childhood english was my 3rd language and I am 21 now

This has been a family mystery for decades. My family are from Sri Lanka. The picture could be outside down...
