9/27/2026 4:37 PM Need Russian/English translation for the following:

1878 Miedzyrzec Podlaski Poland death register Akta 189

This should be the 1878 death of Masza Feldman Barg, first wife of Jankel Meier (Jacob Meyer) Barg. She had given birth to the couple's first child, son Szloma Dawid Barg, just prior to her death.

There is a separate death record for a Masza Barg in the same register copied as Akta 194 which will be posted as well. It isn't known whether it is for the same Masza Feldman Barg. 		View the post with its 1 response

9/27/2026 4:37 PM Need a Russian/English translation for the following record:

1878 Miedzyrzec Podlaski Poland death register Akta 194

This is a possible 2nd death record for Masza Feldman Barg wife of Jankel Meier (Jacob Meyer) Barg. If not, perhaps another Masza Barg who died around the same time? The earlier record (1878 Miedzyrzec Podlaski Poland death register Akta 189) was posted separately. 		View the post with its 1 response

9/27/2026 4:37 PM 1888 Jewish birth record, act 27, Krasnobrod (Zamosc State Archive, fond 88/777, unit 12, scan 30). Please translate in full, or at least: the child's name and birth date; the father's name, occupation and age; the mother's name, maiden name and exact age; the witnesses' names and ages; and why the father was absent. I am especially interested in the mother's age (I read it as 27) and anything about the Milc/Libel families.

Akta 54 is an 1840 death record from Ostrów Mazowiecka, Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland for Ick 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

9/23/2026 4:56 PM This is Jewish birth record No. 14 from Widawa, Poland, from 1914, for Izrael Icek Lipszyc (also spelled Lipshitz), son of Szmul/Szmuel Lipszyc and Rajzla/Raizel Zyscholc.
I would especially like to know the exact date of birth of Izrael Icek, including both dates if the record uses the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
I am also trying to determine whether the record says that Izrael Icek was a twin, or contains any wording that would indicate a multiple birth. His brother Chil/Yechiel Lipszyc is also recorded elsewhere as having been born in 1914, so this distinction is important.
If possible, I would appreciate a translation of the relevant portion of the record and clarification of the birth date and any twin notation 		View the post with its 2 responses
