10/19/2026 2:04 PM №2. Город Серпец. 25 января 1896 года *) в 11 часов утра.
Раввин Михаил Гольдшляк.
Свидетели: Матыс Борнштейн, школьник, 56 лет и Кава Гляйзер, торговец, 39 лет.
Вчерашнего числа ( 24 января 1896 года) заключен религиозный брачный союз между:
Ляйзер Укерт, холостой, 24 года, сын Абрама и Рейзы, урожденной Менц, в деревне Влуки Гмины Боргоево (Борсоево) при родителях живущего и
Эгтера Двойра Торунчик, девица, 24 года, дочь умершего Ляйзера и живущей Марием, урождённой Эльштейн, живущей постоянно в посаде Бежунь, временно в городе Серпец при родственниках.
Браку предшествовали три оглашения в Серпецкой Еврейской Божнице. Пред брачного договора не заключали.

*) 25 января 1896 года — это дата по юлианскому календарю (так называемому «старому стилю»), который в Российской империи использовали вплоть до 1918 года. В пересчёте на григорианский календарь («новый стиль») эта дата соответствует 6 февраля 1896 года (разница в XIX веке составляла 12 дней).
==========================================
No. 2. City of Sierpets. January 25, 1896 *) at 11 a.m.
Rabbi Mikhail Goldshlyak.
Witnesses: Matys Bornshtein, schoolboy, 56 years old and Kava Glaizer, trader, 39 years old.
Yesterday (January 24, 1896) a religious marriage was concluded between: Leizer Uckert, single, 24 years old, son of Abram and Reiza, née Menz, in the village of Włuki, Gmina Borgojewo (Borsoewo) with the parents of a living
and Egtera Dvoira Torunchik, girl, 24 years old, daughter of the deceased Leizer and living Mariem, nee Elshtein, living permanently in the settlement of Bezhun, temporarily in the city of Sierpets with relatives.
The marriage was preceded by three announcements in the Sierpetsk Jewish Goddess.
There was no prenuptial agreement.

*) January 25, 1896 is a date according to the Julian calendar (the so-called “old style”), which was used in the Russian Empire until 1918. When converted to the Gregorian calendar (“new style”), this date corresponds to February 6, 1896 (the difference in the 19th century was 12 days).
