r/Transcription

I could use some help. I’m doing some genealogy work on my 2nd-great-grandparents and came across these church records from the 1890’s.

The first photo is of their marriage witnesses and the second is for the godparents of two of their children.

I’m hoping someone here can help me out with the names listed in the circled areas. The names are German, as this is from a German Lutheran church.

Please come with me to get _______ again??

I was provided with a transcription of the letter and separate page with soldier info, but they don't match. The transcribed name is listed as Walter Decker. The soldier info lists him as William W. Decker, Co. F, 125th NY Infantry, but I can't find a Decker in that regiment and it's clearly not William. Any guesses would be appreciated. If it helps, his wife or girlfriend is Emma, he was in DC around the time of the battle of Antietam, and, based on his association with Kalbfus, he likely was in the 125th NY Infantry.

This is a repost, but I've included images of the whole letter for writing reference. The letter was super faded, so the images have been tweaked for better readability. The signature was cleaned up due to cross writing.

Can anyone tell me what this middle portion is. Thanks so much

Struggling through this diary if anyone can tell me what this all says - thank you for any review 💖

Looking for help reading this cause of death from 1919. Appears to end with "general dropsy certified", but I can't make out the first two lines.

1957, Co. Sligo Ireland. Disgussing the purchase of a property to be made into a nursing home. Pretty sure the first word is private but I can't make out the rest.

It was accompanied by a note that said “Always be remembered as my favorite group!” if that helps at all.

Edit: Forgot to mention, he only left it in me and my group mates’ yearbooks (the people who were a part of his favorite group).

I don’t know where else to post this. I would just really like some answers on what he might have written and changed his mind on. I’m hoping it might help us find him.

I am back with another travel letter from 1971 in Ceylon. This one has some water damage making it difficult for me to make out but hoping someone might be able to. It's a bit on the longer side so I tried to split it into manageable sections. I know the end of the 3rd pic is abrupt but I have that part transcribed so no worries there.

Here's what I can gather so far: "B721 (Mary Ryan). On the same, I baptized Mary ... a daughter of Patrick Ryan and Catharine Ryan ..."

This baptism entry comes from 1840 New Brunswick. Thank you for your help!
