114238 Translation - Yiddish

4/19/2026 6:16 PM A cousin found this old postcard amongst his parents' belongings, and we assume it's pertaining to a family member. There's a photograph of a young woman on the other side, but we don't recognize her. It looks like the studio name is N. Fine & Co, 108 Delancey St., New York. We recognize that the quality is poor, but would appreciate any translation help at all. Possible family names might be Siegel, Weissman, and/or Posnak. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

4/19/2026 6:16 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 13 is my great-great-great-grandfather’s brother’s 1839 marriage record from Śniadowo, 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’s name: Moszko HERYNGIER/HERYNGER.
- his father: Matys HERYNGER, son of Herszk;
- his mother: Malka Pesa, daughter of Chaim;
- the bride’s name: Szejna Enia KRÓLEWIECKA;
- her father: Boruch;
- her mother: Ryfka z Owsiejów.

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

114245 Translation - Hebrew

4/19/2026 6:16 PM Hi there!
Please, translate the Hebrew (or Yiddish, I'm not sure) parts of this birth record. I'm mostly interested in the patronymic of the father, since another record says in Russian he was son of Leyb, yet another - "son of Yuda", and this one says "son of Gilel-Sender". Thanks a lot in advance! 		View the post with its 1 response

This is the 1903 death record from Rypin, Płock, Poland for my great-great-great-grandmother. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

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

- the deceased’s name: Szprynca LONDON;
- her father: Rubin GROSSZTEJN;
- her mother: Bayla ERTZ;
- her husband: Salomon LONDON, son of Dawid & Bayla.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post, there are no responses

Jennie Isaacs

Related Requests:
Harris Isaacs (VM 114231)
Double Headstone (VM 114232)

Hello,

I seek two transcriptions and a translation of the 4-line Hebrew inscription on my great-grandmother's potion of a double headstone in the Mt. Judah Cemetery. She immigrated from the Bialystok area around 1891 and died in New York City in 1922.

The image is cropped to the Hebrew inscription. Both Hebrew and English portions appear in the photo of the double headstone.

For my genealogy records and continuing research, I request:
1. A transcription of the original Hebrew inscription as it appears on the stone
2. The expanded (full) Hebrew text, if any abbreviations are present, and
3. An English translation of the Hebrew.

Thanks for your help.
