I am researching a German postcard written in Montevideo on 25 August 1900, the 75th anniversary of Uruguay's declaration of independence, and sent to the writer's sister in Hannover.

I previously received very helpful assistance from members of this community with the transcription:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Kurrent/comments/1vzrj3d/transcription_of_german_message_on_postcard_from/ (BTW my title in this thread was wrong, the postal card was sent to Hannover, not Hamburg).

I have now obtained a much better scan of the original, and I am hoping someone might be able to decipher a short passage that remains unresolved.

The writer explains that special postcards were printed for the anniversary:

“extra Postkarten gedruckt wurden”

The following two lines appear to contain a reference to postage stamps and their possible future value, ending with:

“jedenfalls Werth haben.”

My main question is: What exactly do the intervening words say, and what is the grammatical subject of “Werth haben”?

In particular, I would like to establish whether the writer is referring to the commemorative postcards, postage stamps, or something else entirely.

I am preparing a historical study of early commemorative postal material, so an accurate reading is important. I would much rather preserve an uncertainty than introduce an interpretation unsupported by the handwriting.

I have attached both the complete message and an enlarged detail of the relevant lines.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, everyone! I've had this letter translated once before. Apparently, there is a line that reads "Around here we are all well and interested in you through your letters to (not legible) and (not legible)". Is there anyone who can read those names or what it says?

I know there are closing greetings from an Abraham and Eva, but I don't think those are the names I'm looking for.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Jemand hat einen Kommentar unter einen Brief geschrieben, den mein Vater als Junge an meine Oma geschrieben hat.

Ich hab's versucht und nur "geweint" und "gegessen"(?) rausgelessen.

The addition note I can't read 90 % of.

For the margin note I have:

* (?) sei in Nasser, (?) (?) (?) (?) gestalt

What does this say/mean?

Bitte höflichst um Hilfe den 3. Eintrag (Taufe meiner Ur-urgroßmutter Maria Elisabeth Stegmann samt Bemerkungen) zu transkriptieren. Herzlichen Dank im Voraus.

Hello everyone!

I'm researching my family history and would really appreciate some help deciphering a baptism record written in German Kurrent from 1787.

Original record:
https://digi.archives.cz/da/permalink/be87b920-f13c-102f-8255-0050568c0263/d75d735052624d20ae164cb183ef5b03

Location: Klein Bistrziczka (Malá Bystřice), Moravia, present-day Czech Republic.

I'm interested in the 5th entry on the left-hand page, dated 27 March 1787.

What I can read so far:

• Date: 27 March 1787
• House number: 40
• Child's name: Georg
• Father: Possibly Joseph, but I cannot decipher the surname (I expect it to be "Basel")
• Mother: Possibly Anna
• A handwritten annotation (maybe "38 Anno ...") below the entry mentions "3.ten November 1854", but I cannot understand the rest.

I'm particularly interested in:

1. The full names of both parents, especially the father's surname.
2. The names and occupations of the godparents.
3. The meaning of the handwritten annotation below the entry.
4. Ideally, a complete transcription of the entire entry in the original German.

I'm trying to establish whether this could be the baptismal record of my ancestor Georg Bäsel (Basel), who died on 3. Nov 1854 at the age of 67 years, 7 months and 6 days.

Any help with the handwriting would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Vielen Dank!

Bild 2 ist der Teil davon, den ich nicht entziffern kann.

Hier der Text des ersten Teils:

Wiebke Catharina .  .  .  uneheliche Tochter der Margarethe Thöming in Lohe, geborene Tochter des (Berufsname?) Peter Thöming (Wort?) und der Margarethe, geborene Mumm.

(17 Jahre alt (J.a.))

Die Mutter hat laut Attest der Hebamme Maria Stolley den Dienstknecht Peter Mumm in Königsbach als Vater des Kindes genannt und 10 Monate (vor?) ihres Kindes auch in Königsbach gedient.

Hello everyone,

I have a letter from 1928 where a central 10-line passage was written in shorthand (most likely Gabelsberger Stenografie). I would be extremely grateful if someone could help transcribe it into German (and/or English).

Context & Background:
Date & Location: June 7, 1928, sent from Oradea (Romania) to Vienna (Austria).
Writer: Erna (sister).
Recipient: Erich (brother, who just graduated with his medical degree / Promotion at the University of Vienna).

Immediately preceding longhand text: Erna congratulates him on passing his exams

(I'm happy to put up an image of the entire page if that's helpful

Because this passage is in shorthand, it is likely personal advice, family gossip, financial matters, or confidential thoughts about his next career/personal steps.

Any help reading any or all of these lines would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I am trying to accurately identify the German artist who painted this piece. It is a traditional mid-century oil landscape depicting a lake and a massive limestone mountain peak in the Bavarian Alps / Oberland region.

The signature is located in the bottom-right corner and appears to be written in a fluid, old German cursive script (possibly Sütterlin or Offenbacher).

Here is what I can break down so far based on layout:

• Line 1: The artist's surname. It seems to start with a prominent capital loop (maybe an S, Sch, or St) and features distinct vertical spikes or loops near the end (possibly a double tt or ff).
• Line 2: Clearly looks like "München" (Munich), written in a quick zigzag script.
• Line 3: Dated 1951.

Standard art databases frequently index artists by their standard block-letter signatures, but this particular piece seems to be signed in the artist's natural personal handwriting, making it hard to look up.

If anyone can help translate or recognize the specific letter structures in the surname on the first line, I would be incredibly grateful! Thank you for your time and expertise.

Ich bin noch ziemlich neu mit dem ganzen aber ich denke es handelt sich um die Liste der Privatsachen des gefallenen Soldaten, kann mir jemand helfen?

I have transcribed 1,900 pages of this book in 2 Volumes but this addendum is in a different hand then the author. Help would be much appreciated. Just trying to finish the project as best as can be. :) thank you for the help. This community is awesome!

Vielen lieben Dank!!

Grüß euch!

Ich habe folgendes Foto auf dem Dachboden meiner Oma gefunden.

Ich lese: Andenken aus R... (Russland? Aber es sieht nach 2 R aus) am 19.5.1940

sendet dir dein Bruder Peter Hafner.

Könnt ihr den Ort/das Land entziffern?

Das wären die ersten Worte: "„Simon Aumüller Müller besitzet die Mühl, welche ao: 1752 als ¼ Hof ........"

Hallo, kann dir jemand helfen, welchen Dienstgrad und so weiter dieser Soldat hatte? Vielen Dank
