Category: Translation - Hebrew Approval Date: 7/15/2012 3:54 PM Family Surname: Country: Lithuania	Click the picture to enlarge	This is a copy of my Great Grandparents Marriage Certificate, something I thought I would never find! I believe it is in Hebrew, but some of it could be in Russian or Lithuanian. I would love a full translation if at all possible as I cannot read any of it. Any help with this will be gratefully received.
