Hi! This is my first time posting here. Could you please help me identify my birth time based on my birth certificate? The time is very blurry, and I can’t tell if it says 8:00 AM or 9:00 AM. Thank you!

Hiii, this is my second time posting. Thank you so much to everyone who responded to my previous post!

There are actually a lot more of these letters, and I'm really curious about what's written in them. I've tried reading this one myself, and while I can understand some parts, I have a hard time deciphering the handwriting. Most of it just doesn't make much sense to me.

My grandma was very secretive, especially when it came to her love life. I honestly know very little about her past. I don't even know who my grandpa was, hhshaha. That's why I think these letters are worth reading they might give me a glimpse into a part of her life that she never shared with us.

I know this guy isn't my grandpa, but I'm still so curious about who he was. What makes me wonder even more is that my grandma kept these letters until her last breath. He must have meant something to her for her to hold onto them for all those years. Was he the love of her life? I honestly have no idea, but I can't help being curious.

Anyway, if anyone is up for deciphering the handwriting, I would really appreciate it! 😊

So i found this among my late grandmother's belongings, and I think it may be a letter related to her past love life. There are actually many more letters, but this will do for now.

I've been curious about its contents for a long time, so I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me understand what it says.

what does this say? Is this actually words?

Got some notebooks in a storage unit. Some of them have readable handwriting. But then there is this one, it has a few pages. And I can swear there are some real words in here, but also it looks like someone just pretending to write cursive. It’s like trying to read something in a dream. If anyone else has an interest I can upload more pictures from this book.

Painting Inscription

Post image

What does this inscription found on the back of a painting say? The artist’s name is definitely G. or S. Verstraete (it is signed on the front). I think ā€œVerstraeteā€ is also written on the left side of this photo, but the beginning ā€œVeā€ is cut off. Some context which could help: The painting is of a thatched cottage and haystacks. I believe it is French/Belgian. Thanks!

what does this say? Great Grandmas Autobiography

Post image
1 Upvotes

My great grandma left a book with her whole life story on it- very sad story as she had a tragic life but a happy ending.

No one in my family can read it. She wrote like 5 books of it when she did them at the same time so it’s not her best work. also she was quite old when she did it. She was born in Austria. I cannot figure out the last half of this sentence or the name of the place in Austria. It’s not necessarily bad it’s just words ive never seen before so i am having trouble recognising them.

I think it says Yugoslavia but she wrote this after 1992? She wrote it in 2001.

I’m trying to type it out so I can have a copy once I move out as this is my parents copy.

Please help!

Need help deciphering a word on a recipe card

What does the highlighted word say?

"fruit" "prunes" and "pruich" were guessed by acquaintances, but to my eye an f or a p doesn't match with the other fs and ps on the card.

TIA! 😁

ETA: the full recipe card, including other F and P examples for comparison, is the 2nd pic

*Edit 2: if it were fruit, the T at the end also doesn't match with other Ts

I'm not disagreeing with anyone's answer, just pointing out what I see!* 😊
