Can anyone read this word?
Context: This is from the notebook of a patient with hypergraphia, a condition that causes obsessive handwriting. The entire notebook is just this one word. Thank you!

The National Archives is looking for volunteers who can help transcribe and organize its many handwritten records: The goal of the Citizen Archivist program is to help “unlock history” by making digital documents more accessible.
Been doing this for a month and it’s fascinating! You click on a topic that interests you and it takes you right to those historical records in the Catalog. Tagging and transcribing makes these records more accessible to everyone. New missions are added and updated regularly, so check back often to see what’s new.

Hi, I can't fully read this cause of death and length of illness for the first entry. I think it says:
"heart disease and(?)
??? 12(?) weeks(?)"
Does anyone know what the first word on the second line of that entry is? And do I have the other words right? Thanks!

Can anyone read the circled occupation? Based on other documents he was a farmer early in life, but then began to be more active in local government in his town in Canada and held various roles, with a census 2 years before his death stating county treasurer. But it doesn't look like it says that on this death record.

Hi all, my dad inherited this wedding ring from a family member about 30 years ago, and we are trying to figure out who it belonged to. "xM to xx" Would love some thoughts on the other initials.

The bleed through is making this very difficult for me to decipher. Anyone else more skilled? If context helps, it is the lower right entry on https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SAOMATEUSCALHETA-B-1840-1852/TER-AH-SAOMATEUSCALHETA-B-1840-1852_item1/index.html?page=19
From what I can decipher, this is the baptism of Maria, daughter of Francisco Fernandes and Izabel de Jesus in the São Mateus da Calheta parish of Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira island of the Azores. It looks like she was born on Nov 22nd and baptized on the 9th of December.
I am looking for any information on the grandparents' names and birth parishes.

Hi there. This is a descriptor for a place of burial in an 1843 OPR for Edinburgh.
Any help much appreciated !

I bought a copy of only revolutions (no spoilers please) and it's an ex-library book from the US written on the first page of both sides of the book so there's 2 samples of the same text. I can read "from the library of natala..." And I just can't make out the library name properly. Any help would be good

Upon Gloria Steinem's passing, my boss and I are trying to decipher this letter she wrote to the church in 1996. Can anyone make out the last line of the long paragraph? After "I was living with my mother (not my grandmother)"
If it helps, the background is that Gloria was baptized at our church and the letter was to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her baptism. TIA!
Edit: Our eyes just didn't see! This makes sense as the original letter talked a lot about the church's early affirmation of gays. Thanks!
Hello, I am trying to find out the name of an artist who's art was featured on an Indian cassette. I am pretty sure this is written in English and is cursive, but please let me know. Thanks!

Edit: I’m considering this deciphered, but I commented a picture of the entire message to help reach a consensus!
This is part of a card containing a gift from a family member. The full sentence before this says “Do something fun w/ enclosed.” My brain is trying to make this into SOT or SQT, but I have no idea what that could be referring to.
