From Szukaj w Archiwach.
This is my great-great-great-grandparents‘ 1859 marriage record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland. JRI-Poland lists the following information from this record:
Date: 4 January 1859 (I assume this is the Gregorian date);
Groom: Salamon LONDON aged 24, son of Dawid & Bayla;
Bride: Szprinca GROTSZTEYN aged 19, daughter of Rubin & Bayla;
Rabbi: Jakob BRAUN;
Witness: Binem WOLDENBERG aged 28.
I don’t need a full translation, but, since this is a particularly important record for me, I’d be grateful if someone could:
1) Check whether all the details listed above are correct; and
2) Tell me any other details from the record, such as the mothers’ maiden names, the parents’ patronymics, occupations, residences, birth places, the parents’ living statuses, and the parties’ marital statuses (whether either of them had been previously married).
Thanks so much! |

Attached is the death record of my fifth great-grandfather Chaim Rzetelny (akta 17), who passed away in 1831 in Kaluszyn. He was the son of Ick and Etka.
Your assistance in the translation of the document will be much appreciated. Thank you. |

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. |

This is a page of the S.S. Campanello passenger manifest (Rotterdam to New York, arrived about 28 Feb 1913, NARA T715 roll 2020, page 35). The image shows lines 12 to 14 across the sheet, left to right. Line 13 (number in the left margin) is a male, age 20, from Austria. A volunteer index reads him as "Wolf Eder" and lists a cousin named "Eder".
Could someone read, for line 13: (1) the full name as written, (2) the name and address of the relative or friend he was going to join in the US, (3) his last residence and the final destination? The scan is faint, so partial readings or best guesses are welcome. Thank you. |

Signature page of the Bisenzer Judengemeinde bond of 1 Aug 1793 (8,000 fl), Moravian Land Registry "Obligationen 1775-1793", Pag. 232, Brno archive (apu 8c48c920-8ea2-45db-878c-c7a85c5dd78d, image 239). German Kurrent, signatories in two columns. I am researching the Sabl family of Bisenz and read these lines tentatively. Marked lines on this image: (d) top right, "Samuel Jokl"; (b) right column, "Samuel Sabl". A second image has (a) lower left, "Gottlieb Sabl", and (c) right column lower, a second "Samuel Sabl". Main question: on each marked line is the surname Sabl, Zabl/Sabel, or Jokl? Clerks write all three with similar strokes, so letter-by-letter reasoning helps more than a quick answer. Please also read the given names, and any other names you can make out (I think I see Lazar Low, Moyses Bloch, Jacob Hermann). Thank you. |

Second image for my other ViewMate post: same page, Bisenzer Judengemeinde bond of 1 Aug 1793, Moravian Land Registry "Obligationen 1775-1793", Pag. 232, Brno archive (apu 8c48c920-8ea2-45db-878c-c7a85c5dd78d, image 239). German Kurrent. Marked lines here: (a) lower left, which I read as "Gottlieb Sabl"; (c) right column lower, which I read as "Samuel Sabl". Is the surname on each line Sabl, Zabl/Sabel, or Jokl? Letter-by-letter reasoning helps more than a quick answer. Please also read the given names and any other names you can make out. Thank you. |

I'm trying to read this gravestone from the Zdunska Wola Jewish cemetery (tag E 215), said to be Elazar Lipschitz, d. 12 Menachem Av 5597. I can read lines 1, 6, 7, 9 and 10. Hard to read: line 2 (ירא שם / כימים?), lines 3-5, and especially line 8, which may name his father. Could someone give a transcription and translation, and confirm the year on line 9 (5597 or 5596)? Thank you.
Source: photo sent by a family member (original photographer not stated). The Hershfeld family tree page for this stone credits Simon Srebrny; I have not confirmed it is the same photo. I am not claiming a family link. |
