3/11/2026 2:32 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 11 is my great-grandfather’s first-cousin’s 1868 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, 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: Herszko GRZYBOWICZ;
- his father: Chaim GRZYBOWICZ, son of Icek Wolfowicz and Tauba;
- his mother: Ester Enia HERYNGER, daughter of Chaim Matysowicz HERYNGER and Bejla Sura WAJNTROB.

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

And if I failed to find the right document in the archives so this scan doesn’t mention any of the people I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know I made a mistake. 		View the post with its 1 response

3/11/2026 2:32 PM In search of translation of my paternal grandparents' Ketubah; specifically the handwritten parts.

Based on their USA marriage certificate, they were married on November 3, 1912.

I'm hoping to determine names of any people mentioned here.

Thank you for your help. 		View the post with its 3 responses

Mendel Zagnoev lived there from about 1885 to 1930. I'm looking for information about my ancestors. View the post with its 2 responses

3/11/2026 2:31 PM Hi! I'm interested in a translation for line 145 = Mechel. And if there are any other Vogelfongers or Perlmutters, I'd love the translation for those as well. Thank you!

113918 Translation - Yiddish

3/11/2026 2:31 PM This caption appears on the back of a photo of soldiers in the Polish army during WWI. The photo was in an album that is over 100 years old so the backing obsures some of the writing. I believe it is written in Yiddish. Several years ago I posted the front of this photo and asked if anyone could identify the army the soldiers may have been in. Was told it was probably Polish conscripts. Kalman Wolinsky is my grandmother's brother and this photo was sent to her. Thank you. View the post with its 3 responses

3/11/2026 2:30 PM Attached is the birth record of Ibolya Kindervatter, my second cousin thrice removed. Born in Gyöngyös to Benjámin Bertalan Barbás (Kindervatter) and Margit Kindervatter Barbás (Silberman̅). It seems that Benjámin adopted an all-Hungarian surname in replacement of his German-Jewish one, as did my grandfather's immediate family. I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the document. View the post with its 1 response
