4/15/2026 4:05 PM Attached is the second of two pages of a letter sent by my great grandfather Dr. Abram Riskin to his wife Bronya and their daughter Miriam, while they were traveling in Semmering, Austria. I find it peculiar that the letter is written in German, as they immigrated to the Land of Israel from the Soviet Union and normally communicated with each other in Russian, including in many other letters written during this trip. Would appreciate your assistance in translation. Thank you. View the post with its 2 responses

4/15/2026 4:05 PM This is from a death document, Krylow, Poland, 1847, for my ancestor Lejba Biterman.

There are 2 columns with very tiny writing. I have zoomed in.

I am hoping you can help me figure out what it is saying. It is about Biterman and Zyngier/Zinger. 		View the post with its 1 response

4/12/2026 4:08 PM I think this is the birth record of Abraham Prochownik. I'm interested in details of his parents, including ages and their parents, and geographic or occupational information. Also anything else of note!
Many thanks in advance.

4/12/2026 4:07 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

This is my great-great-great-grandfather’s brother’s 1833 marriage record from Tykocin, 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: Wolf HERYNGIER/HERYNGER.
- his father: Matys HERYNGER, son of Herszk;
- his mother: Malka Pesa Chaimowiczów;
- the bride’s name: Szejna Chinka;
- her father: Wolf;
- her mother: Frandla Herszkowiczów.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 2 responses

4/12/2026 4:07 PM I am seeking the town name. These two newlyweds were from Frankfurt Germany, but this could be in France because the card was printed in Nice France. It could have also been taken in Italy. View the post with its 1 response

4/12/2026 4:07 PM I wish I had a cleaner image of this, and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get a better closeup. Still, I am hoping someone can see the name of the father here -- even a guess at the first letters would help. I'd be grateful for any other information, but this is a relative whom I can't exactly place on the family tree. View the post with its 3 responses
