This is an airmail letter sent by my grandfather Morris Mendell (originally Mendelovitz) from Plainfield, New Jersey to my cousin Ohad Golub's grandfather Shaie. My grandfather came to the US from eastern Europe after WW 1 |

Full translation requested, but four specific fields matter most:
The father's given name (line 3, before "Мстовский/Метовский"). I cannot resolve it. It is not Ejzyk — it has a long medial descender. A shape consistent with Юдка/Judka, but that is a guess.
The surname — Мстовский or Метовский? JRI-Poland indexes it "METOWSKY / MSTOWSKI?" with a question mark, and the book's own index reads Метовский. But the TOWN in lines 1 and 5 seems written the same way, so this may just be the clerk's spelling of "of Mstów."
The mother's maiden name (line ~8, after "урожденной"). I read ГАБЕЛЬМАН / Gabelman — confirmation or correction welcome.
The father's occupation — I read подрядчик (contractor). And his stated age.

Back of a studio photo postcard (Foto Select, str. Apeduc 45, Iasi), dated 1/12/1925, showing a young man playing the violin. The handwriting is in Yiddish. I would be grateful for a full transcription and translation of both sides of the card.
Left side: the dedication and the signature. I think it begins 'tsum eybikn ondenk...' and the signature may include the name LEHNER, but I am not sure.
Right side: the address. I think it reads 'Herrn ... Shmelke(?) ... Rezina', but I am not sure.
Background: my great-grandfather Shmil (Shmuel) SOLGANIK lived in Rezina, Bessarabia, in the 1920s. Another postcard from the same studio (25 October 1926) was sent to him 'from your nephews' Frima, Boris, Volf and Hana LEHNER(?). I would like to know who wrote this card and how he was related to Shmuel.
Thank you very much! |

We believe this postcard was written by my maternal Grandfather Lazer Garfinkel, possibly to announce the birth of his son Israel. The reverse side has a floral design with the Hebrew word "Israel." Translation would help us with additional family history and will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

From Szukaj w Archiwach.
Akta 34 is an 1890 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland for someone who might be my great-grandfather’s second-cousin. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).
Names that I would expect to see in the text are:
- the child: Dyna ZAREMBER;
- her father: Herszko ZAREMBER, son of Juśk & Zelda?
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

Image 1 of 2 (detail). Would appreciate any information about this worn inscription. Research suggests this might be the marker for Abraham Shapiro, who died on 7 June 1891, but records are sparse and unclear. Thank you for considering. |

Please also see the other Polish translation request posted at the same time as this one (VM115557) which I believe was a registration on the same day with identical details except for the child’s name and date of birth.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

This is the groom and his parents listed in an Hungarian Marriage Register. I can read some of the entry but not all. I think this reads groom is Izrael Biederman, born in Kosztyova Pasztely. His father is Wolf Biederman born Nagyberezna. Mother is Fani.
I can't make out any other names or words, and am looking for suggestions for the rest.Thank you.
