114419 Translation - Hebrew

5/6/2026 4:22 PM I need help identifying the town of Tzachatzev, cited in a translation I have of this original document as the location of the signing of this tenuim between Yitzchak, son of Leib, and Feige, daughter of Moshe. The translation also states the marriage will take place in the following year in the courtyard of the synagogue in Tzachatzev. Problem is I can't figure out what this town is. The groom is from Pruzhany and the bride from Kamenets in Grodno Governorate, Russian Empire. View the post with its 1 response

It's primarily the type of handwriting that's a challenge for me.

First - am I correct that there is a birth 02 AUG 1817 of a child named Samuel Bloch, whose father was Jakob Bloch?

Second - there's an entry for a child born 1 AUG 1817, a girl, which is bracketed with Samuel, and the father's name looks the same to me. Is this a twin sister of Samuel, and what is her name? 		View the post with its 4 responses

Third entry on the page - 12 April 1859

I believe this to be the death record of a woman known as Theresia Bloch. She may also have been called by first names Teiche or Reichele, and last names Nauberg, Nauberger, or Guggenheim.

The only bit of this I can read is the date of the entry and the name Bloch. I'd like to know what the rest of the record says. 		View the post with its 2 responses

I would very much appreciate a transcription and/or translation or any additional insights.

114408 Translation - Tombstone

5/6/2026 4:21 PM Hello,

I would greatly appreciate help with reading and translating the Hebrew inscription on the attached gravestone.

Location: Korczyna Jewish cemetery (Poland)
Grave reference: Sector krczn, row 3, number 24 (marked “24” on the stone)

The stone is quite worn, so any help — even partial readings — would be extremely valuable.

Many thanks in advance for your time and expertise.

Best regards,
Yair

5/6/2026 4:21 PM The first record #6 is the Russian/Hebrew marriage record of Abram Shoeliovich and a bride named Eta, daughter of Shmuel. In the Jewishgen extract, there is no father listed for Abram, and no surname for Eta. In either the Russian or Hebrew side, is there a father's name for Abram? For Eta, is there a surname anywhere? Can you confirm that her father's name was Shmuel? Thanks for any other relevant information. The Jewishgen extract can be found by searching for 'Shoeliovich' and 'Abram'.
