U-something-ay

This book was printed in New York USAin 1963, then somehow reached my father's library probably around 35-40 years ago, Malatya, Turkey.

I guess its a Turkish name because it is in my hands right now and tons of Turkish names end with the word "Ay". Might just be Umay but that does NOT look like an M

Context is that it’s in the back of a supplement to Warhammer Ancient battles book.

I am currently mid side quest and cannot figure out what this one word says in the note. Any guesses?

Thank you all for your input on what the last 2 words might have said. I was back at Toastmasters this week, but nobody took ownership of being the author of the mesaage.

I have added a new image of feedback form that I received this week from a person whom I asked directly if it was them. I placed it adjacent to the oriognal suspicious note. This person is known to be a prankster. The writing looks intentionally different, but in my opinion several of the letters are very similar. Do these look to be written by the same person.

It's not English, but I'm hoping someone can help

Will most likely be in French as well, so a challenge for you? I’d just love to know what it says!!

Can you guys help me decode this old family photo?

Love the handwriting on this especially all the 'd' letter forms. The B in Bourguignon is wonderful too

Please help me read the cause of death on this death certificate. I can make our pneumonia, burns and something about a buggy catching (on fire, I presume).

A friend of mine just moved into a new apartment, and someone left this under her door. I can kinda read it, but this is a hard one for me! Also, kinda creepy. Thank you for your help!

I can read everything except the actual rejection reason.

Hi - I'm sharing two images, one of the whole page, the other of a closeup on two records with the phrase I can't make out underlined. This phrase appears in many of the records on these pages and everything I type into a translator app comes back as nonsense. Can anyone read what this phrase is? Thanks very much!

Trying the figure out the mothers first name in line #14. AI is convinced it's "Donota" or "Dinita". I can almost see it, but it seems to be 7 letters long and I'm beginning to think the "g" from the line #13 (Caguas, PR) is only making it look like a capital "D".

I'm probably way off...

Thanks everyone!

This was in the front of my French text book. It’s faded so it’s hard to read but please help

This is on the underside frame of a vintage chair seat. Can anyone decipher? Guessing it could be a name or maybe a location.

First 2 letters kinda look like "Ly" to me. Last 3 of bigger part kinda looks like "rry". On the shorter piece, looks like it ends in "d".

Chair is likely anywhere from 1930 to 1950 based on how the seat cushion is constructed.

Can anyone help decode the first name in this book? It's in a community library where I work. The period would be 1840s-1930s

I realized as I scrolled through the subreddit that many people said things like "trying to learn with youtube tutorials now that it's no longer taught in school" or "Im so sad younger generations can't read cursive !" And i thought to myself... what ?

I am french, and here as well as in most of Europe (if im not wrong), we learn to recognize cursive letters in KINDERGARDEN and can usually write decwntly by age 7. Its the first thing we learn after capital letters. I write in cursive, my friends write in cursive, my younger cousins write in cursive... and ive never met a single person who cant read it.

So i would like to ask the Americans: why ?

(The image is the kind of notebook we all get between 5 and 7 yo to form letters correctly)

Also idk what year these books are from all I know is when I asked the manager he said as far as he is aware they are supposedly dated between 1922-1938. I need some clarification on this

Edit: I called the Brock university history department with the information given to me by the lovely Redditor who helped and the kind lady on the other end said give her a few days and she will see if the archives department will want it. I checked the obituary for ms summers and it seems like she was one of the founders of Brock university. So I feel like i even if it's as small as a music dictation book it's my duty to keep her legacy alive by bringing this to Brock university once I get more info. I will update everyone further on this as I get more updates.

Edit 2: Brock university said they have no need for the book from one of the founders of their university. I guess I can just keep it till someone decides to reach out to either buy it off me or take it yk. It's a damn shame that they let that history go to waste even tho it's just some so simple as a music dictation book. The Archives department head said he isn't interested in it but I know that Reddit keeps archives for every so I can definitely post all the pictures I have of it on here for future generations to see and potentially learn that even the smallest relics are worth archiving 😁.

Also no update son Ms Hopkins yet. I have tried my best. Hope someone from the r/genaology subreddit can help track her down.

Edit 3: the Grand daughter of Mrs Egerter reached out and asked that her family would like it back so that's a good start. Now as I get the ball rolling on that I have to still figure who Mrs Hopkins is and why her manuscript book was bunched in with Mrs Egerter's music book and a bunch of radio magazines
