113491 Translation - Hebrew

2/1/2026 1:32 PM This is the first word in a five word inscription on the inside of a gold wedding ring with a Russian assay mark recently found in a collection of old family jewelry. I would like to know if there is a name given. I guess the caps are standard wedding praises. Thank you. View the post with its 2 responses
113475 Translation - German

2/1/2026 1:31 PM This is one of five pages that I am posting, taken from various letters written by the relative of a cousin.

I would greatly appreciate a translation of whatever can be read.

I apologize for the poor quality of the scans, and for the condition of some of the pages, including those that have pieces missing and have tears across the middle. Whatever you can make out will be very helpful.

There may be some sprinklings of Hebrew. Please just ignore those.

Thank you in advance.

113478 Translation - Tombstone

2/1/2026 1:31 PM Sławek Pastuszka directed us to this headstone in Zory, for David Deutsch (1810-1873), who was the rabbi in Myslowitz and Sohrau. I would appreciate a translation of the inscription if anyone can help. I understand it may be a little difficult to read. (Sławek restored this headstone last year. David's wife Jettel Weissler Deutsch is also in the cemetery, but her headstone is broken and awaits restoration.) Thank you.
// Update 1 Feb 2026 //
I understand there is a transcription of the headstone in a work about David Deutsch written in 1902. I'm confident this headstone is Deutsch's (but a confirmation would be appreciated). 		View the post with its 1 response

113466 Translation - Polish

2/1/2026 1:27 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 32 is my great-great-grandfather’s brother’s 1852 death record from Zaręby Kościelne, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the deceased’s name: Ićk/Icko Herynger;
- his father: Chaim Herynger, son of Matys and Malka Pesa;
- his mother: Bela Sura Wajntrob, daughter of Abraham and Mirka.

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

And if I failed to find the right document in the Polish state 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
113467 Translation - Russian

2/1/2026 1:27 PM Can someone please translate record 153, the third record on the page, in full? Transliterate names and translate any other words.
This matches the timing my great grandmother would have been born in Bialystok, and AI OCR said this may be it. Would like human review to see if correct.
Please be in touch if needed via email, yehudazevrubin@gmail.com
