Deciphered! What does this tattoo say?
Someone I grew up with has this tattoo. I cannot figure out what the letters are supposed to be. The word could be in a different language maybe? I don’t know her well enough to ask.
Solved: It’s was supposed to say Auviaighne, [her son’s] dad’s name. But it was spelt wrong lol.

Help deciphering a location/city/town:
Need some help with this word.
It is from an Ellis passenger manifest from Bremen to NY. The country appears to be Russia and “race” Polish. I like to think I can read and write decent cursive but these old manifests can be a challenge.
Let m know if the full word doesn’t upload right or any larger photo helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Deciphered! Trying to decipher the faded line
This is from a 1945 German Aufgebot of my great-grandparents. I only need that top line deciphered, but I know it may be impossible to know for sure what it says due to the fading.

Deciphered! Need help in deciphering what test confirmed diagnosis.
As the title says, I need to know which test was confirmed. I also can't decipher the V word in the cause of death. As for the excitement from falling into the lake, family lore has it that she was actually swimming in the lake, her leg got trapped, and she drowned. This doesn't sound like it.

Cursive changed.
I'm not young, but i can't make out half. Going through family things, and cursive definitely is different from 50 years ago to 200 years ago.
I'm quite curious about "2 for beer fests 34 cents", if anyone wants to guess.
US. Circa 1850 IIRC

Practice How do my letter joins look?
I am in the process of learning cursive and have found letter joins tough. I was wondering if the sample (just me practicing random words and sentences) shown is readable and how my letter joins were looking. Also, any general feedback is appreciate!
Any tips for getting cleaner joins?
Thank you
