1900's Cyrillic

Rafal57

Is there anyone here who can read this Cyrillic cursive from the 1900s? I'd like to know how each of the letters are shaped joined together and in isolation.

Hello,

Here are a few different sites to better understand Cyrillic cursive.

script.byu.edu has a nice comprehensive tutorial for the Cyrillic alphabet and Russian documents. It will show you examples of the letters individually, common phrases, and document formats.

Here is the link: https://script.byu.edu/russian-handwriting/introduction/

This second link contains "How to" guides concerning the Cyrillic alphabet and Former Russian Empire Research. The first two on the list are about the Cyrillic alphabet.

Here is the link: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/%22How_to%22_Guides_for_International_Research#Russia

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for your help! I'll be saving your link for self refrence. I have a concern however, because I am having great difficulty in research. This screenshot was not from familysearch, and I tried to search for my great grandparents near the region where they were from and I found nothing. Even from the offical government archives that I found online the records seemed to be incomplete. Even the resource links from the community couldn't help me. (Zamosc County SE Poland)

Have you tried to search using for Zamosc the following link: lubgens.eu then selecting Regestry and entering the names of your ancestors?

I did not know about that website, it might help me, but unfortunately, out of four great grandparents I'm trying to search for, I could only find the name of one of them and I am not sure for certain if it is that person. Are there any other sites for Lubelskie and also for Podlaskie from the other side of my family, I'm trying to find records on more distant ancestors from that side, 6+ great grandparents, from Podlaskie.

What about the polish language cursive found in lubgens? I cannot read it very well. I do not know how to search for the children of a couple in the search box since I can only search one person at a time.

The image from August 4th, I need the names and details of the groom's parents, when I tried to compare the cursive with the letters, the father's name came out as "Luri", which is definitely wrong, so essentially, I need a translation or transliteration here please, could anyone help?
