5/13/2026 4:10 PM Attached is 1/2 pages of a letter found in the letter collection of my great grandmother Bronya Riskin (nee Levin). Unlike with most other letters in the collection, I am unsure whether it was written by Bronya or to her, and it does not seem to end in a clear, organised manner. I presume it may have been written by her to Icik Krieger and was then returned to her. I would appreciate your assistance in translation. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

5/13/2026 4:10 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 13 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s sister’s 1849 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 bride: Leja WAJNTROB;
- her father: Abram/Abraham WAJNTROB;
- her mother: Mirka Idźkowicz;
- the groom: Mordka Michel KWIATOWICZ son of Sapsio.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

106695 Do you recognize?

5/13/2026 4:10 PM This is a photo Louis Friedman (in the center) with two of his three children, Al (bottom left), and Bernard (bottom right). Al and Bernard (nickname Bernie), were twins born in 1927. They have an older brother Sidney who is not in this photo. The woman standing behind Louis is his wife and the mother of his three sons, Sarah née Kramer (standing top left). The woman standing on the right of is Sarah’s younger sister Rose Schor (later remarried and became Rose Singer). I am wondering if anyone knows or is related to people mentioned in this photo. Thank you. View the post, there are no responses
106696 Do you recognize?

5/13/2026 4:10 PM This was at the wedding of Joseph Kramer and Rita née Rubinlicht. Those named in the photograph are siblings. Those not named in the photograph are unknown, maybe relatives or friends. Harry Kramer is the father of the groom. Harry’s older brother Hirschel was often mistakenly called his brothers name, even on his obituary and gravestone. Rose was youngest of the siblings. Besides Rose and Hirschel, Harry had three more siblings, an elder sister who died back in 1951, and two more brothers who were unable to attend. I am hoping people can recognize or are related to the people in this photo. Thank you. View the post, there are no responses

5/10/2026 4:09 PM Hello,

I am researching my family history and have found a birth record from the Warsaw Civil Registry (Archiwum Państwowe w Warszawie), written in pre-revolutionary Russian cursive script.

This appears to be Act No. 4, a birth certificate for a girl named Shauba-Gitlya MICNER, born around October 1904 in Warsaw.

The parents seem to be:
- Father: Rywen MICNER (мещанин — townsman)
- Mother: Kajla Sura, née WEBER

I would be very grateful if someone could provide a full transcription and translation of this document, particularly:
1. The exact date of birth
2. The father's age and profession
3. The mother's age
4. The names and details of the witnesses
5. Any other details I may have missed

This family is connected to Léon MICNER (born Jajna Lajwy Micner, 7 September 1907 in Warsaw), who emigrated to Paris in 1920.

Thank you very much for your help! 		View the post with its 1 response

5/10/2026 4:08 PM This letter was sent from Zhmerinka, Ukraine from a woman named Lisa Bitko, who was a cousin of my grandmother, who had emigrated from Zhmerinka to the US in 1916. The letter was sent directly to someone in Brooklyn, who I assume was also a relative. I suspect the letters tells what happened to Lisa and other family members during and after the war.

5/10/2026 4:07 PM Please transcribe and translate.

Indexed with the following information: Marriage of Sura KACENELENBOGEN (age 19, born in Porozowo to Jakow Mejer and Chana Ruchla) to Dawid KON (age 26, born in Ciechanow to Gersz and Blima nee KOCHAN).

I'm particularly interested in other information about Sura Kacenelenbogen, such as her mother's maiden name, where her parents resided at the time of her marriage, any family members who were witnesses, if there was a dowry, what type of work she did, etc.

Sura is the mother of a treasured older relative. Thank you!
