114663 Translation - Polish

6/7/2026 5:03 PM This line is from a Polish JSS list for discounted matzah distribution before Passover.

I am trying to read the handwritten entry for Feldman … Estera.
Could someone please read the word or words between Feldman and Estera?
I included nearby lines for handwriting comparison.

Nearby comparison entries:
No. 21 — Feldman Nechama / Nachman — the document appears to say Nechama, though it may refer to Nachman.
No. 73 — Feldman David.
No. 22 — Bacia Judka.

Thank you very much for your help. 		View the post, there are no responses

Date of death: 21 Jan 1919

6/7/2026 5:00 PM This is a postcard from Herbert Samuel in Dresden to his nephew Gert Kaiser in Stockholm.

Gert was sent to Sweden in 1939 but his mother Herta Samuel Kaiser had to stay behind in Germany.

Herbert's wife Ellen and his son Ralph escaped to England, but Herbert had to stay behind.

We would like a transcription and translation of this postcard.

thank you -- David Lewak

114635 Translation - Russian

6/7/2026 4:59 PM I would love to get a translation of this document if possible. If getting the whole page translated isn't doable, I would love to get at least any names of people listed in the document and the relationships of those people to one or both of the people getting married. (I believe this to be an 1889 marriage certificate for Chaim Gelbart and Toba Mindel Goldberg. I got the document from this site: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/skan/-/skan/a724ce56b8b006f47169b3dab76cba497d0e7dd08d80eae92915c0002ac40e00 View the post with its 1 response
