Genealogical record - can't make out line at bottom

For the sake of context, this is on a birth record and the lady in question was recorded elsewhere as the subject's grandmother for some reason.

I can't figure out this word

I've included the target word (the one on top) and the whole page it's on. The word is on the 9th line from the top. The sentence reads: "Haven't heard from Dad but imagine he will be _____ on tonight." Thanks for the help!

Birth/Baptism record from the late 1800s

Hi guys! Im looking to get this baptism record of a distant relative transcribed into something I can translate into English! I can make out a few things, and let you know what I know about the relative. I believe the childs name is Marie Eugenie Nadeau, and the parents are Francois Nadeau and Cesaire Turcotte. The year on this document should be 1880, its Canadian, and it looks like the birth month says the french word for february. Either way, Id be very appreciative if someone could transcribe it for me! If this scan isnt good I can try to get a better image of it

Thank you in advance!

I’ve transcribed almost everything; it’s just the name that’s giving me trouble, and I need it to be able to check military records.

Old taxidermy label

This is the label of a pre 1670's taxidermy bird piece. I would love to know what it says so I could rewrite the label.

genealogy record help

Hi, doing some genealogical research and came across this record from a WWII draft card 1940-47. Looking for someone to tell me what the writing says above the X in the signature line. My guess is a scribe was used and wrote that the “x” was Willie’s attempt at a signature. Would love someone to help.

Can someone help translating old postcard (French?)

I brought this old postcard in Italy 7 years ago, found it today and was really interested to learn what is written there. Unfortunately I can barely underatand anything. I’m pretty sure its French since there are some “que” and “votre” but that’s all I can do, since the handwriting is so cursive. (i can understand written French normally quite okay)

many thanks in advance!!

Writing from 1946 found under stairs

Hello! Found some writing in pencil under the stairs. Writing is a little smudged making it difficult to make out. Can anyone read it?

Long shot.

I was wondering if anyone can undertand what's being wrote here. I can see the names but the rest is very confusing. Its on my great great grandfathers birth register.

A letter psychographed by a spirit, handed to me today. That signature must correspond to a name.

Psychographed in Brazil. This is a completely serious post.

Can you decipher the first word?

The print has a word 10 or 11 letters long (cut off), followed by PARTY 1907 SEBERG. We’ve discovered it was taken at the SEBERG Hotel in Lucerne, Switzerland. Thank you

Thrift store love note?

I found this note in a book at the thrift store. Have been able to decode most of it, but still a few words & lines i’m lost on. Here’s what i have (maybe) been able to decipher:

“I got to hold ___ breasts after baseball games. They were perfect to a high degree, small and pointed and she was charmed by them herself. “[unsure] aren’t they” she said looking down. ___ became an economist and today those breasts live in ottawa and go to work at the M of Finance.

[unsure] divorced, even his furniture looked exhausted from all the marital battles. [not sure what this line says] like it had been up all night sobbing.

Tattoo on their arm “all night long” “

Seems like such nice handwriting but I can't make it out

Just had a colonoscopy and this was on the paper I got from them. I asked and she said they gave me only propofol but what does it say under "dosage"? Also you guys, I had such a good sleep.

Edit 1: I don't think it's Haram.

Edit 2: Transcribed!

We are going to trust that the words are a name and we are going to trust that he knew the dose so he didn't have to write it down. Because he's... Hakim/Havim and what he says goes.

Edit 3: also maybe another option (except maybe not because they only gave me propofol and not the others): "Harum" is an old Latin medical term meaning "of these" or "all of these" according to some comments.
