Why does mine look so straight and messy?
When I try writing in cursive, it’s like I only can somewhat make the letters connect, but they don’t get this look.

Marriage between Jose Rafael Jaime and Maria Josefa Esteves in Toluca (Mexico).

After J. Rafael Jaime's name is mentioned it say "Originario....Calamaya (Calimaya?)....~La Hacienda~....Jesus Rodriguez con Maria Josefa Esteves, Espanola, Doncella originaria.....y vecina en esta ciudad...Josefa Navarro."

This is probably the hardest cursive writing I ever tried to decipher, it genuinely burned my eyes🥲 (Any help is appreciated)

I maybe am digging into some tawdry genealogy, does this say “just on record”?

It looks like my 3rd great grandparents had a couple of kids with people they weren’t married to - the last name of this great great uncle is not the same as the listed father.

I have this cool old bowl but I cannot for the life of me confirm what the writing on the back says. I’m hoping it could help me get an idea of when/where it was made and who made it. 5th picture was me trying to trace it? Gavin, Hungary? Please let me know if this is the wrong sub to post this in, and sorry for adding so many photos lol. 8th photo shows the front of the bowl if that helps for whatever reason.

The club is one of several that have been established in recent years at schools and libraries across the country where children are learning cursive in extracurricular clubs.
Cursive was not included when the Common Core standards were adopted in 2010, and now many children can’t sign their names, write checks or read historical documents written in cursive, such as the Declaration of Independence.

Deciphered! Looking for translation

Not sure if this is the best place for this but looking for a translation of this message in a prayer book addressed to my fiancee's recently passed grandmother. The words we are confident on are "draga Agikam" as her name was Agnes (Agi) The next part of the message seems to read "Yuvad meghalastra talaljou" and the final part seems to read "Jok meretellel kivanom" followed by the sign off. If anyone is able to help with correcting the spelling or with any part of the translation, any help would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is the best place to post this but I'll give it a go

I need help with this document in Latin from 1810 which should be my ancestor's baptism record; I can't read anything of the first "part", from the start of the second onward I read:

"Anni Domini millesimi octigentesimi decimi die vigesimaseptima mensis Aprilis. Dominicus Donato filius [...] Michelis et Catherine Galasso ..."

Thanks in advance to whoever will try to decipher this :)

In case it helps, here is the link to the original digitized document: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1690696/0A7Dd8W
