114401 Translation - Polish

5/6/2026 4:20 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 9 is my great-great-great-grandfather’s brother’s wife’s 1827 birth record from Śniadowo or Zambrów, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

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

- the child’s name: Sora KROLEWIECKA;
- her father: Boruch;
- her mother: Rywka daughter of Owsiej.

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

5/6/2026 4:19 PM I would love some help reading this diary entry from 10 January 1945. It is the only entry made for the week. I believe the last two pencilled words are Jenny and Peter - the author's wife and child. The entry was made the date before deportation to Sered concentration camp.

23753 Do you recognize?

5/6/2026 4:18 PM Does this still exist? These two images are of the same gravestone located in Warsaw. The first was taken in 1927 of the grave of Chaya Leah Chrzan who died 12 Sep 1909. The second shows the same stone at a later date. I believe this photo may have been taken after World War II. I do not know by whom. How can I determine if it still exists and where? The Warsaw cemeteries have not been able to find this grave, but I am still hopeful it will turn up. The name CHRZAN has been spelled more than one way in Hebrew and elsewhere.

5/3/2026 5:15 PM Hello everyone
This is probably the death record of Shmuel Feigman .
I would appreciate a full translation, especially if there is mention of another city, age, full date and surviving relatives.

Many thanks
