Help me figure out my Grandpa and his fathers name

Help me figure out my Grandpa and his fathers name

Looking to determine if I have the correct names here.

Im pretty sure the family is

August LeFort(head)

Emma (Wife)

Stanley (Son)

Raymond (Son)

Barbara (Daughter)

Eleanor ( Daughter)

Richard (Nephew)

Gustabe (Father) - This is the one Im not sure one. Most ancestry sites are listing this as "Pustabe" But that doens't fit the french canadian names of the time. Are their transcriptions wrong, or is "Pustabe" a viable french canadian name from 1930?

Can you please tell me what this sticker says?

I think it’s English but I’m not sure because I picked it up in Italy. Is it Love? That tiny dot is driving me insane. I’m not even sure it’s rotated correctly. Thanks in advance!

What is the surname (?)

I can read the Hans part but can't make out the surname, is it Schaefer, Echaefer or some other variant?

Photo caption

My husband got this cheap at an antique store, and thinks it might be a photo of Margaret Hanley of NAU around probably the 30’s (maybe later 20’s). Neither of us can read what it says. It looks like her, but the caption would be helpful for further research. To me the first word looks like Alice, and the very last is sister, but that’s as far as I could get. Any help appreciated!

Hi all!

I have been doing a little bit of ancestry research and found this record, this particular section comes from a book of permanent residents for a village in Congress Poland, the section is what I am having difficulty transcribing, It am unsure if it is written in post or pre Russian orthography reform, but it is meant to describe a place of past residence. The exact heading is Place of Birth

I don't have high expectations for being able to uncover what this says but any help would be appreciated!

3rd great-grandfather’s name

I’ve hit a bit of a dead end on this side of my family tree as I think my 2nd great-grandmother was born out of wedlock. This transcript is taken from her marriage banns but I’m struggling to read the middle name. I can make out Charley/Charles and the last name Moore but not the middle name. I can see ‘ridge’ but I cannot even have a guess at what comes before it. I’d be so grateful for any interpretations. Thank you!
