I have a series of photos of gravestones I took when I traveled to Kopaihorod in the early 1990s. Please excuse the amateur quality of them. On some I am aware that only part of the inscription is visible. Please translate the Hebrew and or Russian as appropriate. Many thanks.

This the back of a photograph of my uncle, Paul Braunstein. I think the language is Romanian (which is where my grandparents came from) but I'm not sure. |

Attached are 2+3/4 pages of a letter by Chaye Schayne Grandic (nee Levin), the sister of my 2nd great-grandfather Shmul Yankel Levin. Chaye lived in Wilno, Poland. The letter is officially addressed to Dr. Abraham Riskin, my great-grandfather and Shmul's son-in-law, in Haifa, although It seems to have been addressed to Shmul himself.
The dear ViewMate volunteers had once translated another letter by Chaye Schayne:

https://www.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/memberadmin/responselist.asp?showmaster=1&viewmateid=111495
Shmul immigrated from Wilno to the Caucaus circa 1895 and later to Palestine, and we know nearly nothing of the extended Levin family. These letters may be their last remnant.
Thank you. |

Searching for paternal great grandmother's grave; she lived with her husband Judah, gave birth to multiple children in this town, and husband is buried in this cemetery. The cemetery record only recorded given name. May not be my great grandmother's gravestone. |

JewishGen has indexed this record as:
SZARFMAN, Szlama of Prostyń, son of Icko (son of Szulim) and Ruchla (daughter of Berko), married in 1834 to GRYMBERG, Chaia from Błonie Duże, daughter of Jerma (son of Mosko) and Ruchla (daughter of Szulim)
In looking over the original record image, I do not see some of these names.
Can you please provide a word by word translation?
I also want to use this detail to determine if this Chaia is an older sister to a Zawel Grynberg, born Wegrow 1842, to the same named parents and same named grandfathers. It is the next image uploaded to ViewMate.
Thank you |

Does the attached image have any more detail other than Grynberg, Zawel, born in Wegrow 1842 to Jerman and Ruchla?
If possible, cross reference this to the other record just uploaded, that is possibly his older sister, from her 1836 marriage record:
GRYMBERG, Chaia from Błonie Duże, daughter of Jerma (son of Mosko) and Ruchla (daughter of Szulim) to SZARFMAN, Szlama of Prostyń, son of Icko (son of Szulim) and Ruchla (daughter of Berko), married in 1834.
Both Zawel's birth and Chaia's marriage seem to show same parents, Jerma and Ruchla. and same grandfathers (Mosko and Szulim).
Thank you

Hello,
This is a birth act of Ichhok Drwalnik born in 1908, warsaw, i would like the translation to know if there are names, witnesses names or whatever that would help me in my family researches.
If i'm right his parents were Szlama and Itta Mokre (Mokra?) but perhaps there are more informations.
Thanks a lot.

I am trying to learn the Bride's name from this Ketuba. I think it may be (something) Malka daughter of Yosef. It is possible her name is Yiddish.
ALso, what is the meaning of the Mem (?) following her father's name?
Lastly, I can read the Groom's name (Yosef Samuel son of Abraham Moshe), but what is the word preceding his name?
Thank you for your help. Barb Snider |

This headstone is for Solomon Siegelaub and his wife Molly. Molly was born Malka Weissler in Kolomyya. I would like to know what the Hebrew inscriptions are for both of them - it has been suggested to me that his gives his name as Shlomo Zissa son of Chaim Leib, and hers says Malka daughter of Itamar. His data works for me, Itamar is not a name I know of; from other records I know her father's name as Somer/Sumer. Any help very much appreciated. (This is not my photo - it was from an online source.) |
