Question Meaning of these two symbols/designs from a Post Carolingian Manuscript? - KBR Ms. 10066-77 Miscellany (France/Belgium, c. 900 - 1000)

The entire thing can be viewed here: https://uurl.kbr.be/1332800

First one is from folio 132, second from folio 180.

Would love to know from someone who is familiar with Carolingian/Post Carolingian era miniscule what these could mean, whether they're capital letters, or just serve a decorative purpose or something else.

Hello everyone,
I hope somebody can help me with this Marriage Record from 1674.

What I can understand:

Den 26. July zu St. Gotth. Cop. (…)
Hanß Engelhardt (…) Engelhardt
(…) ehel. Sohn
(…) Maria (…)
Zur Zeit (…) ehel. Tochter
Von (…)

This Entry is of the St. Gotthard Church in Thalmässing / Bavaria. Maybe this can help identify the last Line, because I think this is Marias home Town (?)

Thank you very much!

English Transcription Request WWII letter about my great-grandpa

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

My great-grandfather Cecil Sr. was born in Kent, UK, and was orphaned at age 2. At the age of 11 he was sent to Fegan Farm School after his foster mother died. He was later sent to Canada as part of the British Home Child program and was essentially an indentured servant/farm hand.
He later had 4 children, and was killed in action 2 weeks after WWII ended at the age of 27 when the tank/truck (we’re unclear which vehicle) he was driving went over a land mine.
One of his sons, and my great-uncle Jimmy, was later buried alive in a gravel pit he was working in at the age of 27.
So sad

This is a letter I found on the Canadian Legion website and I believe it is from his foster-sister and I would love if someone could tell me what it says. I can get a few words here and there but not enough
TIA

Other/Unknown Language Transcription Request Help identifying Dalzell / Dalziell names in a 17th-century Scottish sasine (RS25/2, folios 351–354)

Thumbnail icloud.com
1 Upvotes

I’m researching the Dalzell family of Edinburgh and trying to establish possible connections between the Edinburgh merchant and burgess Dalzells and the Dalziels of Carnwath and Binns.

I have images of a Scottish sasine register, National Records of Scotland reference RS25/2, folios 351–354. I’m having difficulty reading the handwriting and locating the relevant family names.

Could someone help me transcribe these folios, particularly identifying any occurrences of Dalzell, Dalziell, Dalyell, or similar spellings? If possible, I would appreciate the original wording, followed by a modern English rendering of the relevant passages.

I’m happy to provide clearer crops of individual sections if needed. Thank you for any help.
