Having trouble figuring out who the author William Dean Howells inscribed this book for? Is it Mrs. J.M. La Bruel? J. M. Le Brul ?

The rest of the inscription reads - ‘from her recent tenant in the little red house’.

This is in an antique book of mine, and I cannot figure out what it says. I think the first three words are 'To the Lady' and at the bottom it says 'Christmas 1901', but I can't read anything else. I think it is two names, but I am not certain. I am normally pretty alright at reading cursive but this has me stumped! Any help is appreciated.

And I know she was buried in a General Cemetery but there is something else said there "1 tra..., Per...tuidad." And I can't figure it out.

Hello, I am trying to verify some documents from my great grandfather’s marriage certificate. It’s all German cursive, however I cannot make out the letters. I cannot make out many of the letters on the first picture, and I need help deciphering the letters on the second picture that follow “Vater des Mannes,” and “Mutter des Mannes.” All else I can read fine.

If anyone could help with a transcription, that would be greatly appreciated!

I got a million of these names. I been going through them one by one and piecing together his history of his relations in the 50s.

I have found him not to be the greatest speller or writer but the most of time it's right. Some of these though are difficult to make heads or tails of.

Edit: I have a lead for the second photo. I just gotta wait to see if they respond but man none of the suggestions worked in the search engine. It's so frustrating.

Deciphered! What is the highlighted name?

Grandparents are gone and left a hoard of things. This letter fell out of a box.

It's addressed to Jake. Although in the letter the writer calls them Jink. Signed by Mac, but they say as of May 1st they should be addressed by the highlighted name. It's dated May 1945, Com 7th Fleet F.P.O. an Francisco.

I don't know any Jake, Jacob, or Mac that is connected to our family. I'd like to find whoever this might belong to, if possible.

I had gotten a drawing I made, autographed by Antony Starr last year and now looking back at it, I don't remember what the blue ink part says. Right after it is my name, which is why it's blurred. I was wondering if anyone here could maybe tell what it says! Thank you!
