5/17/2026 8:39 PM I accidentally found this document was on your site but originally it was from the Marriage registers held by Polish National Archives. I suspect this may be the wedding registration record for my grandfather's sister. According to my cousins she seems to have same parents ? I would be very grateful for a full translation to confirm.

I apologise of document is in fact in russian I cant tell from document.

Thank you

5/17/2026 8:37 PM Someone passed along this postcard addressed to Harry Chait, my 2C1R, in Philadelphia. It might be very helpful to be able to read it and know who sent it since this was sent during WWII. View the post with its 4 responses

114498 Translation - Polish

5/17/2026 8:37 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 4 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s brother’s 1857 marriage record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the groom: Wolf WAJNTROB;
- his father: Abram/Abraham WAJNTROB;
- his mother: Mirka Idźkowicz;
- the bride: Chana Jochwa SEGAŁOWICZ daughter of Izrael.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.

114500 Translation - German

5/17/2026 8:37 PM This image is an excerpt from Sniatyn (at the time part of the Autro-Hungarian empire) in 1858. It's the homeowners' registry. This is the only record I have of my great-great-great-grandfather Hersch Schifer (our name evolved in Schifres later).
I am interested in the line above and the line below his (so only the lines highlighted in yellow) but I would need the headers translated as well. I don't speak german.
I can read Moses Schifer (line 261) but I can't read line 259. It's another Schifer but I can't read the first name. I also don't understand why there is a "Strumberger Chaim" in line 259 below, and I am hoping the german between the two names would share some light in the matter, or if not, the remarks at the end of the line on the right. I want to know if this is a married couple, or what other reason they would both be mentioned. Thanks in advance!
