Rhonda, The reason I suggested you post the original and entire images rather than cropped and pasted copies is to provide the researcher a complete exemplar of the handwriting employed. Typically, recognition of the text improves as one becomes familiar with the style of the author by simply examining as much of the corpus as can be made available. For example, there is the entry "Thomae" in the upper extract. Would you be able to decipher it correctly if the image had nothing more than that name? The letter "T" is formed using a fairly fancy script. I believe the two names you are still interested in are "Czorny" and "Rachwał".
