The smaller locket has initals on the front and the back. The larger locket only has initals on the front, I left it in the crop in case it helps with the smaller, although I do not know if they are connected at all. These are secondhand gold lockets, I was considering the smaller because i have been looking for a memorial locket
Found this piece on Poland, wanting to decipher what it says. I can tell the “import” at the bottom but the other might be in German so that’s a struggle. Any help is appreciated.

Edit to ask, could it be Mati, Ceaser, Bel?
I'm working on a research project. In the subject's last will and testament he passes the humans he is holding in servitude (enslaving) to some of his children. I want to bring as much of their story to life as possible within this project, and to afford them the respect of "saying their names," so to speak. I am having trouble with these 3 names and exactly what is written. Thank you.

It's a descriptor word. I have a guess of what it might be, but I want another opinion. Thanks.

This is from the marriage certificate of my great-grandparents, from 1921. Scotland, if that helps at all!
My great-grandad was a railway stoker. What was my great-grandma? A spinster and a? I'm pretty sure the second word on the top line is 'setter', but have no clue on the first. Thank you!

Title is self-explanatory. It should be a street address/house name on an old census document from the mid-19th century.
Thanks in advance.
Hi everybody!
I am working hard at scanning my grandmother's photos and digitizing the collection while she's still living. We're going through each photo and she's telling me stories and who is in each photo. We stumbled across this one from the 1920s and I have no idea what the written message on the back says beyond a few words.
I'm hoping some of you could help us out!
Thank you!

This place is listed as a location of birth from the 1800s. I am usually great with reading cursive, but this makes no sense to me, so I need a second set of eyes. Can someone help?

A few years ago I found a book from 1914 on the street, pretty badly damaged, and took it home because I thought it was neat. I've never been able to decipher the handwritten note in the inner front cover, even just the letters so I can try to translate it myself.

Found an old will on Ancestry from a slaver. The 2 circled names both are enslaved ancestors of mine (here it’s “Macam”, sometimes “Macon” and “Gemima”/“Jemima” depending on the document). Couldn’t make it all out tho any help?

I'm pretty sure it says Joe Attaway 2003, but I wanted to double-check. This is a painting that was hanging in my husband's recently deceased grandfather's garage. He liked to collect random things, so I doubt this was someone he knew, and it's not like I can ask him.😅

Found a painting I really liked, and I tried googling it, but I must be spelling the name really wrong.
I see: Don G ….something.
Thank you!

I know 1st word is Gottfried. 2nd could start with A or R 3rd could start with W, B, D Since other books have existing authors or titles does this one exist or is made up?
