4/8/2026 4:01 PM Marriage contract (Ketubah) between Abram Freed & Bella Lipshitz, my great grandparents. They lived in the town of Igumen (modern Červień), about 40 miles southeast of Minsk, the provincial capital of White Russia (modern Belarus). I would like to know the date of the document, who the witnesses are, and any other information that would help me understand the life and times of my ancestors. Although I think that the lettering in this document is Hebrew, I cannot tell what language it is written in. Thanks! Michael Freed View the post with its 4 responses

4/8/2026 4:01 PM Please help with translation. The grave stone is my grandfathers older brother. The last Hebrew word is partially covered by a small branch and some leaves. Samuel was the son of Beryl (in Yiddish), Ber Dov on my grandfather’s grave.
Thanks very much for any assistance.

4/8/2026 4:00 PM Attached is the back of a 1917 photograph of a man wearing spectacles taken in Baku, Russian Empire. The front of the photograph reads in English: "Visit Portrait." There is no doubt that the photographed man appears also in another photograph which was once uploaded to ViewMate and read: "Фукс Либера-Лейзер (Fuchs Libera-Leyzer)." Would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the writing. View the post with its 1 response

4/8/2026 4:00 PM I saw this document next to a marriage record for Lemel Biterman.

I am trying to determine what this document is, as it seems to have a lot of people from my Biterman family in the document.

114151 Do you recognize?

4/5/2026 4:03 PM Based on a ChatGPT interpretation, The Cyrillic reads
Lower left: АТЕЛЬЕ
Lower right: ФОРМАН
Put together, it likely says:
АТЕЛЬЕ ФОРМАН
which translates as:
“Forman Studio” or “Forman Atelier”

Does anyone have any information about a Forman Atelier in Berezdov or Novograd-Volynskiy District, Volhynia Province in the 1900s?

4/5/2026 4:02 PM Hi,
This is the death record of Zelik ROTBARD from 1826.
It's a very interesting record for me because it is one of the oldest there is, and it describes Zelik's married daughters' information.
Please help me with its translation.
Thanks,
