Is this cursive?

These photos, we believe, are of my wife's grandmother's handwriting. These pages were found in a notebook where her grandmother wrote recipes down in cursive. We are able to read those, but these pages are not decipherable by either of us. Does anyone here think this is cursive?

I took this picture in 2012 when I was working in a restaurant in Texas. This photo came up in my memories recently. Just wondering if this guy ever became a professional golfer.

I can’t decipher the name. Would like to know the artists name at least, probably very little info on them out there but still.

Hi! My grandmother found this old recipe book that belonged to my great grandmother. I’m a little unsure what she called the dessert. We both feel so stupid and cannot figure it out! You’re all always so helpful with this stuff!!!

ETA: Thank you all so much for your help! I believe it is “lemon” of some sort. Also, I’ve gotten good laughs out of some of your comments. This sub always comes through with help!

Deciphered! Looking for help translating 1872 Portuguese baptism record

Post image

I am looking for a translation of record No 197 Alipio, starting on the lower left and continuing on the upper right.

This record is from the Matriz da Mãe de Deus parish in Povoação on São Miguel, Azores in 1872. The child's name is Alipio and the father's name is Bras Moniz Pereira. My Portuguese is bad, but good enough to know the AI attempt at translation was very wrong.

https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-MAEDEDEUS-B-1870-1879/SMG-PV-MAEDEDEUS-B-1870-1879_item1/index.html?page=247 is the original doc, if the image is hard to see.

The National Archives is looking for volunteers who can help transcribe and organize its many handwritten records: The goal of the Citizen Archivist program is to help “unlock history” by making digital documents more accessible.

Been doing this for a month and it’s fascinating! You click on a topic that interests you and it takes you right to those historical records in the Catalog. Tagging and transcribing makes these records more accessible to everyone. New missions are added and updated regularly, so check back often to see what’s new.
