It doesn’t look like that shorthand mayb it’s a system he’s made up

There are several different types of shorthand: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorthand

The best advice from my family expert agrees with Michelle ; ie it's Pitman's, but badly written

[sueburden]

Agreed.  It is Pitman without a doubt.  I agree it is badly written and I can only make out  a few words but it has been years since I used it.
