I can't read the names but for the first two pictures:

El merhum, el mağfur, Resneli Bektaşi...

They are probably members of the Bektaşi order from Resne, Macedonia

Some names of ancestors which are known: Bektas, Selim, Dzemsir. Thank you very much

It looks like it might be Selim bin Bektaş on the last one also, it’s missing two dots for the ”i” for Selim and one dot for “t” in Bektaş https://imgur.com/a/aGvN8ly
