Akta 68 is an 1838 death record from Ostrów Mazowiecka, Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland for Ioszk OZDOBA, who might be my fifth-great-grandfather. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full.

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

10/1/2026 8:26 AM Please provide a full transcription and English translation of this Jewish birth record from Pavlograd, Ekaterinoslav Province, 1885.

The surname appears to be Гамольский (Gamolsky). This is record M40 from Fond 193, Opis 4, Delo 294.

I am especially interested in:
- the child’s full name
- the father’s full name and patronymic
- the mother’s full name
- the parents’ social status / registered estate
- place of registration or residence, if stated
- date of birth
- date of circumcision
- any other genealogically useful information in the entry

Please transcribe the Russian as literally as possible before translating it, especially the names and patronymics.

Please also note any place of registration/residence or social-estate wording, even if abbreviated.

Thank you.
