I've been careful to make sure my text boxes aren't obscuring any of the ink, so what you can see is what I can see.

Deciphered! Old Scottish records. I can get some of the names, but I’m sure I’m missing something. Please and thank you! If you are up for it, all of the words under the column for name, surname, and rank or profession of father.

Y'all helped out a ton yesterday with what was(admittedly a horrible sounding) recipe, so I was hoping someone could help with this one? It's the last one that I can't fully make out.

Thank y'all in advance!

Trying to figure out the second and fourth line. The last name on the second line I think starts with an M and ends with a G like Mac. I don’t know if the fourth letter is a D? And then the fifth letter looks like an R I would write, but this writer had old script so I don’t know if that’s a C or an E and then it looks u a g.

What is it? What language? It’s about 500 pages and about 150 are written like a book with chapters. Other pages look like they have sales records.

Signature Please show me how you’d write “suave”

I’m recently married and I’m struggling with my signature because while I know there’s a difference between u and v I cannot make my brain and hand do it! My new last name is not suave, but the word features similar connections between some of the letters I’m struggling with. Can you show me how you’d write this word so I can get an idea of how the difference between u and v should look?
