KATZ Sora Ita Marriage to SZUSTER Srol in 1827.

Using AI, I was able to get Sora's father's name as Chaim and Srul's father's name as Abram.

AI could not read either of the mother's names. I would also be interested in learning occupations and ages.

Thank you.

Hello,
The AI is wrong again! Both the fathers’ names are wrong, along with the groom’s surname. Here is all the information on the bride and groom. (Also, please observe my notes as to some uncertainties. These arise because of the fluidity of Jewish “surnames” at the time and the variable notation of such names in these records.)

The marriage ceremony was in Łomazy on 3 July 1827 (the registration was one day later).

Groom: Srul Wulfowicz SZECHTER, residing with his parents in Wisznice, 21 years old, born in Wisznice, son of Wolf Leyzorowicz [son of Leyzor] and Chaia SZECHTER, butchers

[Note: I am a little uncertain as to the names of the grandfather here. Leyzor could be Wolf SZECHTER’s father, or Leyzor could be Chaia’s father. Alternatively, Chaia’s maiden name could just be LEYZOROWICZ. In any case, though, Srul SZECHTER was definitely the son of Wolf and Chaia.]

Bride: Sura Ita KATZ, unmarried, 20 years old, residing with her parents in Łomazy, daughter of Szlomma (a baker) and Necha née Wolf KATZ

[Note: Again, the grandfather’s connection is uncertain. Wolf could be Necha’s father, or her father could be also named Szlomma. In any case, Sura Ita KATZ was definitely the daughter of Szlomma and Necha.]
