This is from Rawa Ruska PSA AGAD Births 1816-1900, 02-12. I'm seeking translation for row 2, number 126.

This from JewishGen and is the birth record of my Maternal Great Uncle, Chaim Hersh. It also notes my GG-Grandparents (Samuel and Henie WOLF)

I uploaded it to Google and it indicated that there were names for Chaim Hersh's grand parents on both the paternal and maternal side . I can't make out the info on the paternal side, but it would be a huge research break through if Samuel's parents were listed.

Please let me know if there is any other information on this section. Thank you for your help!

Thank you for the quick turnaround. This is very helpful. I'm assuming there is no indication of Samuel's parents in this document?
