Family Surname:
Country: Lithuania
Town: Kelm/Kelme
Date of Image: August 1865

Please independently translate the first male entry (no. 1) on this August 1865 Kelm/Kelme birth-register spread, checking both Russian and Hebrew. Source: LVIA 1226/1/2112, folio 9; FamilySearch DGS 004222303, item 16, image 11. Please transcribe the child’s and parents’ names, the father’s patronymic and town, and any surname. The row gives 9 August / 29 Av under a heading covering birth and circumcision. Does this single date identify birth, circumcision, or is it ambiguous? Does the Hebrew side add or clarify anything? Please distinguish clear readings from uncertain ones. The connection to my family is unproven. Thank you.
