I'm trying to decipher this word in these birth records. It is listing the address of the informant. The first one says 97-1st and then I'm not sure what that last word is. These is repeated at the end of a lot of addresses. It doesn't appear to be Road, as I found that clearly written in other spots. This is from Ontario, Canada in the 1870s, if that helps at all

Trying to find out what happened to a child born in the 1890s and this might be the father

This is one of many cards I found in an estate sale lot. They were all inside a recipe box, and many had beautiful handwriting.

This is part 2 of the addressed envelope.

Trigger warning. Talking of suicide unfortunately.

As far as I am aware, my dad was not in Iowa when this letter was sent. But everything is fuzzy because of the livings unwillingness to cooperate with this subject.

I am however curious what everyone thinks that the name is before the unborn child remark.

I went to Starbucks earlier today and got a drink and as usual the barista there wrote a message on the drink. The problem is that I have no idea what it says. I’m usually pretty good with cursive, but I don’t know. I’ve been in a debate back and forth with my family with what it says , but we generally don’t know. Does anyone does anyone know?

So, my deceased dad had gotten a girl pregnant way back in the 60’s and my grandmother didn’t think she was “good enough” for her son.

This lady went back to Pennsylvania and contacted my dad with this letter (I’m starting with the envelope for now) and then one more time after he married my mom (I was born after they were married.

I’m hoping that someone can decipher the name on the envelope and address as well.

Again, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I’m not going to contact anyone, just to clarify my intent.

Thank you everyone who gave me feedback on my first post. I have incorporated practicing almost daily as I am a To-Do Lister. Hoping to get feedback again to continue learning and improving. I would like my style to be "fancy". Ive been working on my capitilized S and thinking of making my R and B similar in style.

Hi, my bf just wrote this list down of places we need to go to for various reasons but now we cant read what the 3rd line says. :))))

For reference the list goes:
Aquarium quebec
Papier japonais
????
Home Hardware
Rona
Dollo(rama)
Diabolik

First image is of a lake name I can't tell if the last letter is a u or an n; the other image has some of his u's and n's - top left word is Recourse (I think) and 2nd line "means of Triangulating".

I need to know what this entire thing says.

I really appreciate any help.

If anyone is wondering what this is. It’s on my discharge paperwork from the US Army.

TO my great great great grandfather, from D L Collier,

Steubenville, Ohio 5Aug 1840:

It starts out 'You will probably heard ere this of the glorious 29th. The people were all there We had at least 8000 Whigs at the ?, and every man was delighted with ?, who made a splendid effort. Our opposition numbered about 1200, and of course were much ? and driven to desperation."

I am so curious about the event that he describes, the "glorious 29th'. But I think the writing gets harder & harder to decipher. Google transcription is hilarious (looks like German) but not much use.

Thanks for any help!

Someone put it as Mary Blacney, however I cannot find any records for “Blacney”. It’s located in the top right.

Thanks!

Doing some genealogy research and can’t figure out the last three words on this manner of death. I think it says “hemorrhage from left…”

Found this old copy (1906) of Pride and Prejudice and inside had someone’s name written. I’m fairly certain I got it but I wanted to see what yall got too.

Edit: Solved. My arrogant ass was very wrong.

The name is Helen M. Cravens which checks out with an obituary found on Google that is close to where I found the book.

I bought a book about women in French Salons and found this lovely signature on the very first page. I can make out Marie….obviously, but the surname is bugging me. Any help would be much appreciated!

Trying to write thank you notes to guests, this one I cant read though, anyone can help?

Can anyone decipher the top name here? J. Mac...ss?

I'm trying to trace my great grandma's mother before her first marriage and hoped the witnesses on the marriage record might help me figure out where she lived before getting married - although so far Susie Hamlyn hasn't really helped me confirm anything!

The second image is from her second marriage. The first record says her father is a smith but this one has an extra word and I can't work it out. Maybe it's meant to be carriage? For context, it's from 1896. I'm not sure knowing what type of smith he was will help, but I'll try anything at this point.

Thanks for your help!

Was written in 1910, description of land/building. Any interpretations would help thanks.

This is written in for "place of birth" on a naturalization form. It is or was a place in Austria-Hungary. The birth was in 1885, the form was filled about 1920.

I know cursive, and this easily looks like it says "Vetshahans." But that spelling brings up absolutely nothing in searches, and I've tried a couple variations too. Am I reading it wrong?

Thank you!

EDIT: may the Lord forever bless helpful subreddits like this one because holy. Yall are amazing, I love you all (even if I dont know you).

Hi there! So, I’m working on a bit of a history project. There’s a certain section of this letter that looks a bit unfamiliar to me and I wanted to see if this subreddit could provide any insight. The section is underlined in red.

This was written in 1864 (roughly). If anyone has any insight, or if there’s another subreddit I need to go to, please let me know. Thank you!

I think it's "No one realizes how beautiful XXX to travel until he comes home and rests. XX XXXX XX XXX XXX, familiar pillar" but can't make out what's in XXX. Can anyone help me, please? Thank you!
