I am hoping to date the original photo of my Gandfather's Brother Mendel Blejwas (Max Bleviss)from the military uniform's of unknown country. My Great Uncle Max is seated with hand to face.
My immediate Blejwas family is from the town of Blonie followed by a move to the town of Radom according to the ship's manifest of arriving immigrants to Canada. Is this WWI Russian, Polish, Austrian or German? Any idea of rank from the hat and collar detailing? Thank you for your consideration and assistance.

Reseaching paternal family surnames:

from Sochaaaczew and unknown, Poland and perhaps Spain |

Can you tell me anything about the photograph - what #9E CoK, Sq3, 7th Training Regiment means? I am assuming the photo is of men in an American military unit. Is it possible that the photo was taken during World War II?
Any information about the unit, the time, the uniforms, the men, would be appreciated.

Family story says this is Messerman's who stayed behind in Ukraine. My Messerman's came over in early 1900's to 1920's and lived in Cleveland and Chicago.
Alternate thought, maybe Edelman or Liten family.
Could also be from Poland? |

Would someone please translate the second line of this snip from a vital record? The first line shows the abbreviated name of the town KARASZ (Nyirkarasz) and the second line is place of birth. I am unable to decipher the place of birth. A translation would be sincerely appreciated. With many thanks.

I would like a direct translation of this 1901 birth record for Abraham Khos Kohl. I am especially interested the names of his parents and a translation of the word following his name. I believe it is in Polish, but it could be German. |

this photo is possibly from Centerville NY (current day Fallsbourgh - Sullivan County NY)
Its possible that the photo is of Molly Abramson Kissen, her husband Davis and their two youngest children Abe and Rose. Abe was born 1892 and Rose 1895. Rose looks to be about 10 years old. I believe the family lived in Centerville from 1903 until Davis's death in 1907.
Any idea who the guy on the ladder is or the older woman sitting next to Davis? |

This document appears to record the marriage of my ggg grandfather. His name was Nachman Mider and my ggg grandmother Chaya/Chaja. A translation would be great as I have no information on her side. Internet records show Hirszow as a surname but all records have "?" next to them. If someone could take the time to translate for me, I would truly appreciate it and then I may be able to find out more about her family. Thank you. |
