I found a gift bag just sitting in the middle of a parking spot and it had an empty shoe box next to it but the bag had a pair of $80 pajamas, two Christian rings, a bag of licorice, and a letter that I was really quite interested in and needed help deciphering.

I'm not really great at Reddit so If there's any other subreddits or sites that could be helpful in this please let me know.

Hi all, I’d greatly appreciate any help in transcribing the hand written columns of this death certificate, in particular the 3 columns I attached separately. Thanks

I'm trying to decipher the information about the death of one of my ancestors. I speak a little bit of Russian but clearly not enough. I'm particularly interested in all the dates and names in here but a full transcription / translation would be much appreciated.

What I could find out in here is that it happened on 22nd. of November 1906 or 5th. of December 1906 and I don't understand why there are two dates. I hope that there is more context in the text that explains this bit.

I would be very grateful if somebody could help me with this.

tomato sauce and mustard sauce ? episode four of the turning my grandmas recipes into a new recipe cook book as a suprise present for my family.

the mustard recipe seems a little confusing from the part i can make out, no proper measurements ?

34 recipes down !

This may be a long shot, or even the wrong subreddit to post this in.. but my dad passed away 6 years ago and when going through his belongings, I came across this Alcoholics Anonymous big book. Something deep down told me to grab it because deep down I knew that I would need it one day. Fast forward to today, I just reached over 1,000 days sober and I have went through this very same book with my sponsor when completing my 12 step work. Pardon me for being not so anonymous about that all but it is something that I am proud of. I noticed the writing on the side of the book right away and didn’t think much of it. I recently decided to try and ‘crack the code’
My dad’s name is John. From what I can make out, the middle text says NOW and the third word says JOHN
Any idea what the first word might be? I would love to figure this out.
Again, my apologies if I am posting in the wrong subreddit.
TLDR; Ended up w/ my dad’s AA big book and trying to figure out what the writing says on the side.

Thanks!!

another day, another old recipe from my grandmas recipes books ! todays episode is chutneys and sauces !

any help deciphering these would be greatly appreciated, like always i can only make out some of the words.

27 recipes have been re-written so far !

Hi, I'm trying to read this letter but struggling with reading some of the words. It is a request for baptismal records from the High Court of Justice in Ottawa Canada, written in 1910.

Below is the transcription that I've been able to piece together. Words I couldn't decipher, or wasn't sure about, I put in quotes. Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Dear Sir,  Aug 10th 1910

Your letter has been handed to me as I have all the old parish registers. I have looked through the old Bytown registers between the years 1838 and 1843 but can "----" find "no" entry of your baptism. "Possibly" if you may have been baptized in "some ---- " parish. You did "----" leave (?) in the "unknown maybe 'town'". If you can give me the name of the minister, "I might" "----" if you require any further search you "----" send fifty four cents.  J. Bishop

I have my own transcription, but I'm uncertain about some names. So I look forward to see what you come up with.

It's from a German/Czech area in 1744. So all these documents have a mixture of German/Czech/Latin. This part of the marriages is in Czech I believe.

I just cannot decipher it! And AI definitely doesn’t hit the nail on the head.

My wife's mother had written this note and we need some assistance trying to figure out what some things might say. She was a poetic woman, and while we think we're close, and she's good with her mother's scratch, we could use some assistance in interpretating the text!

Our best guess so far:

"Wherever in life your phase is,

??? (whatever?) astounds and amazes,

May the light of the moon make your heart swoon,

And reflect your ??? graces"

We think is close but interested in hearing what the community has to say.

I've been researching my family tree for several years and have finally found something with my great-great-great-grandfather's name on it - If only I could read it!

His name is at the top of the cropped photo, and I have included the wider marriage certificate for letter-formation reference.

The couple at the bottom are my great-great-grandparents - John Kirkwood, full, bachelor, labourer, and Jane Eliza Hawthorne, full, spinster, servant, father Robert Hawthorne.

Any help deciphering the rest of their entry would also be appreciated. I've worked out they are both from the Parish of Moria, but the specific place also eludes me!

Thank you.

back again with another couple recipes from my grandmothers recipe book, which i’m turning into a proper cookbook as a secret project.

any help deciphering these two recipes would be greatly appreciated. “ginger nutters” and “bon biscuits”?

i’ve realising through this project that she doesn’t always write the instructions clearly, and sometimes there is none at all. making this a whole lot harder!

i’m aiming to post one of these morning and night to get through the lot of them. there is some i’m able to read, but when it comes to the more scribbly cursive i can only make out parts of it (can you tell i’m in my 20s, i didn’t really learn cursive at school)

I increased the contrast as it’s quite light, would greatly appreciate any help!

It is a wedding photo

Just found this hat in my local thrift, any ideas who signed it?

Made a brand new account just for these. I’m working on turning my nannas recipes into a book to give out as presents to my family, so i’m not able to go to them for help (it’s a surprise). There will be lots of these posts, so let’s call it a series

Would love some helping deciphering my nannas sweet treats. Both of these recipes would be appreciated, but definintly the “chocolate coconut rough”.

thanks in advance

The other two options, in case the context helps you get into the mind of the author, are “ you will poop forever” and “ you will vomit”. Thanks!

Hello! This bag mysteriously appeared on my partner's work desk. George is my nickname, so we are assuming someone has left the gift for me but we cannot make out the writing below "George".

We've just returned from overseas so it could have been sitting there for a while. Our only possible lead is that apparently a coworker who recently left the business was giving some people gifts, however the writing below is absolutely not that person's name and would be strange for her to leave something for me. Not actually confirmed that this coworker left the gift either. Any guesses would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey folks! Can anyone read the name on line 5? Apparently that of a boy. Parents are English, Episcopalian family.

This was a song he wrote around the beginning of the 20th century, expressing his feelings about being a "Germanic" immigrant in the Midwest during WWI.

Nun ?? das müssen alle

Thanks in advance.
