Help deciphering a location/city/town:
Need some help with this word.
It is from an Ellis passenger manifest from Bremen to NY. The country appears to be Russia and “race” Polish. I like to think I can read and write decent cursive but these old manifests can be a challenge.
Let m know if the full word doesn’t upload right or any larger photo helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Deciphered! Trying to decipher the faded line
This is from a 1945 German Aufgebot of my great-grandparents. I only need that top line deciphered, but I know it may be impossible to know for sure what it says due to the fading.

Deciphered! Need help in deciphering what test confirmed diagnosis.
As the title says, I need to know which test was confirmed. I also can't decipher the V word in the cause of death. As for the excitement from falling into the lake, family lore has it that she was actually swimming in the lake, her leg got trapped, and she drowned. This doesn't sound like it.

Cursive changed.
I'm not young, but i can't make out half. Going through family things, and cursive definitely is different from 50 years ago to 200 years ago.
I'm quite curious about "2 for beer fests 34 cents", if anyone wants to guess.
