113634 Translation - Polish

2/15/2026 2:21 PM Hi! Would someone be willing to translate this for me? It's the birth record, I think, for my great grandfather.

Could you kindly translate the entire index for me?
Thank you so very much!

This is the first hint that a branch of our Polish family may have moved to Lithuania. Everything is a clue. Thanks in advance for your skillful attention! 		View the post with its 1 response

This is possibly a mixture of Hebrew and Yiddish.

I have also uploaded the Russian side of the entry. A dna match with unsuspected Lithuanian origins sent me out to begin a search. Everything is a clue. Thanks so much for your help! 		View the post with its 1 response

2/15/2026 2:20 PM This letter was found in a box in the closet of my wife's cousin house. We don't know who wrote it and who it was written for - sorry. I briefly ran it through AI and it said the writing is likely a mix of Kurrent and Sütterlin styles common in early 20th-century Germany.
Any assistance in the translation would be greatly appreciated. 		View the post with its 1 response

113628 Translation - Polish

2/15/2026 2:20 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 8 is my great-grandfather’s first-cousin’s 1865 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: Abram Icek 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

2/15/2026 2:19 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 64 is an 1896 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. The surname matches my family but I don’t know who the parents are so I don’t know if the child is my relative or not. I would like Akta 64 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: Liba SEGAŁOWICZ;
- her father: Elia/Ela/Elijah SEGAŁOWICZ, son of Shmulya/Szulim Berkowicz SEGAŁOWICZ and Itka/Ita Ryfka Herszkowna;
- her mother: Chaja Jospa HERYNGER, daughter of Chackiel Arya HERYNGER and Jętą KRYSTAŁ.

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

And if I failed to find the right document in the archives or the parents turn out not to be those I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know. 		View the post with its 1 response
