21560 Tombstone

2/1/2012 4:24 PM Please provide a translation of this tombstone. Note that this community was Sephardic in the former Ottoman Empire, and therefore some of the words may be in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) written with the Hebrew alphabet. If so, a transliteration would be fine. Thanks! View the post with its 2 responses

21549 Translation - Polish

2/1/2012 4:22 PM I was surprised to find this record of my gggp's marriage in Drobin, Poland--a brand new town on my radar screen. Previously, I had only associated the family with neighboring shtetl Sierpc. This document had never previously popped up in my searches due to the combo of a new location and a soundex-altering spelling of my gggf's surname in the JRI-Poland index. I've known him to be GRZEBIEN, but this record is indexed as surname GRABIEN. In light of above, I'd appreciate confirmation of correct surname and details of any geographical references included in the document. If names of parents are indicated, that information is also crucial. Thank you! View the post with its 2 responses
21550 Photo Identification

2/1/2012 4:22 PM This is the first of three unidentified family photos I'm posting to ViewMate. Based on the source of the images, I am guessing that they were all taken in or near the shtetl of Sierpc, Poland which is northwest of Warsaw. I am grateful for any comments which might tell me something about these family members, such as time-frame, socio-economic status, occupation, religious observance, etc. Thank you.

Based on the source of the images, I am guessing that they were all taken in or near the shtetl of Sierpc, Poland which is northwest of Warsaw. I believe that this woman and her family all perished in the Holocaust, but I know nothing more. I am grateful for any comments which might tell me something about her, such as time-frame, socio-economic status, occupation, religious observance, etc. Thank you.

21532 Do you recognize?

2/1/2012 4:20 PM Does anyone recognize the style of this kippah or anything else about it? My husband was given it as a baby and the design is unique by today's standards, so we were wondering where it might have come from. Was it a popular style from the old country (could be Germany, Ukraine, or Lithuania)? From Depression-era USA (we're from Pittsburgh, PA)? Everyone who we could have asked anything about it has passed on, so we don't even know if it was from his father (born in USA) or one of his grandfathers (all born in Europe). Thank you for any insight you can provide! View the post with its 2 responses

21536 Translation - Russian

2/1/2012 4:20 PM I'm hoping someone can assist with a translation of this image which is the birth record of Moszek Cyna registered in Konskie in 1895. I am interested in finding out his parent's (I believe his father was Icik Zelman Cyna) names and his exact date of birth.

Thanks in advance,

Paul 		View the post with its 1 response

2/1/2012 4:20 PM Another one! I'm hoping someone can assist with a translation of this image which is the birth record of Chilel (Hillel) Cyna registered in Konskie in 1902. I am interested in finding out his parent's (I believe his father was also Icik Zelman Cyna) names and his exact date of birth.

Thanks in advance,

2/1/2012 4:19 PM Would you please translate these two pages (of a book of regulations issued by the Yiddish Artists Union in Poland) into English?

21528 Translation - Other

2/1/2012 4:19 PM This is possibly yiddish, as I have been told it wasn't hungarian, but my family at that time spoke several languages spoken in that area. On the reverse was a soldier in uniform, which I have not been able to identify. The digital image of the reverse has somehow been deleted from my file. I will have to find the original post card. Can anyone translate this postcard for me? Ludmilla Neumann was my grandfather's sister, came to USA about 1892. View the post with its 5 responses
