This is the front side of a postcard photo from Russia around the World War 1 era. I am seeking identification of the subject.
I also posted a separate ViewMate request showing the reverse side of the photo with a handwritten hebrew inscription for which I am seeking a translation to English.

Hello,
Could anyone please help me transcribe and translate this Russian handwritten document?
The document dates from 1915 and is written in Russian cursive handwriting (pre-revolutionary Russian). I am particularly interested in obtaining an accurate transcription of the original Cyrillic text before translating it.
I would be very grateful if someone could provide:
1. A line-by-line transcription in the original Russian/Cyrillic, preserving the original spelling and pre-revolutionary orthography where possible.
2. A translation into English.
3. Please indicate with [?] or brackets any words that are uncertain rather than guessing.
4. The document contains the surname КОРЕНБЛУМЪ (Korenblum), which is important for my family history research.
I have already tried to read it myself, but some parts of the handwriting are very difficult to decipher.
Thank you very much for any help! |

My grandfather, Lev Savranski, was born on September 3, 1909, in Elisavetgrad (Yelisavetgrad) to Jewish parents: Itko-Ansel Savranski and Dobrish. In 1921, the family fled to Chisinau, where they took on a false Christian identity for survival. My grandfather became known as Alexandru Curinai (originally Kurinny / Куринный in Ukraine), and his parents were registered as Sava and Alexandra Curinai.I have recently discovered his original birth record from the Jewish metrical books of 1909 under his real name, Lev Savranski. I am sharing their wedding photo from "Foto Tascher" in Chisinau and I am looking for any information, business records, or connections regarding the Savranski family from Elisavetgrad before 1921. |

This is the back of a postcard photo from Russia around the World War 1 era.
I am seeking a complete, verbatim reading and translation the handwritten Hebrew text on the page.
I will also be posting a separate follow-up ViewMate request showing the image on the front side of the photo.

I am hoping I have the correct record and most certainly appreciate your help. This is an index page of marriages from the city of Leczna in 1906, AKT #2. I'm hoping it shows a marriage between a Binem/Biniamin BLONES and possibly a Bina FAJN.
The marriage record, which I will also post on ViewMate is in poor condition.
I'm hoping to confirm the names, possibly get any vital information available.
Thank you! |

This is the actual record. As you can see it is not in the best condition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! |

This is the birth record of Bina FAJN, AKT #14, recorded in Leczna in 1888.
I am interested in her date of birth, parent's names, ages and any other vital information that may be of interest.
Thank you! |

This is the back of a portrait photo from a portrait studio on Tomsk, Russia, probably around the turn of the 20th century.
I am seeking a complete, verbatim reading and translation the handwritten Hebrew text on the page.
I will also be posting a separate follow-up ViewMate request showing the image on the front side of the photo.

This is a letter that my great-grandfather Jeshaia London wrote from Palestine in June 1924 to his wife Ziporah’s first-cousin Mordechai Josef (Max) Green in Perth, Western Australia. I assume it is about the fact that Jeshaia & Ziporah were planning to emigrate to Perth with their children (Ahuva/Lily, Chasya/Hemda and Huskel). Indeed, they arrived in Perth in December 1924.
I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full. Thanks so much! |

This is the birth record for Ester Sedledsky/Estera Sedlecka, born 1892 in Pulawy (currently in Poland). A link to this document was provided next to Ester’s name as a birth record on JRI Poland. Could you please provide as full translation as possible, with names, dates, place names, and occupations? It looks like her father’s name is Joseph, but I don’t know any other information.
Thank you! |

Attached is the last page of a 1934 letter sent by my great-grandfather Abram (Abrasha) Riskin, from Haifa, to my great-grandmother Bronya Levin, who was apparently staying at a Safed hotel to recover from an illness. The page notes in Hebrew the settlement of Nahalal, to which I believe Abram submitted an application to be employed as a local physician. I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the letter. Thank you.
Ending of previous page: "вот что требуется для твоего благополучия я готов всегда делать и у меня нет никаких искусственных форм а все от глубины души надо только чтоб ты захотела верить этому, хочу только сказать, что больше доказательств у меня нет, а остальное хранится в тайниках моей мещанской души." |

JewishGen's "Search All Records" - Jewish Records Indexing - Poland offers this as the birth of Jadwiga Fajans in 1898 in Warsaw. I'm pretty sure most of it is in Russian, but I can't tell for sure.
I'm trying not to be greedy, so I'm not asking for a translation of the whole thing, just the genealogically relevant parts.
(If it's who I think it is, she was the sister of the first mother-in-law of my stepmother-in-law.) |

Page from the burial register of the Jewish Community of Iasi, November 1891, photographed for me by the community secretary. The image shows the four entries dated 15 November 1891 (order numbers 961-964, right-hand column).
I am looking for GOLDA, wife of MOISE SIN MENDEL. She died in Iasi on 13 November 1891 (civil death record no. 1229, age given as 42, tuberculosis) and, according to the cemetery records, was buried on 15 November 1891 in Division III, Section V.
Could you please help me with:
1) which of these four rows is Golda, wife of Moise;
2) a transcription/translation of that row - above all the name of her FATHER, if the register gives it (this is the one fact my research is missing);
3) what the numeric columns record - there appear to be two different number series, and one row on the same page is annotated "Copou".
The handwriting is Hebrew/Yiddish cursive and I cannot read it reliably. Any partial reading is welcome. Thank you very much. |

This is one image of part of my grandparents' ketuba. I'm also uploading another part; hopefully between the two we can learn more. (Sorry I didn't have the actual ketuba to scan a full image.). I'd like to learn whatever I can: Hebrew dates, Hebrew names, the location of the chuppa as close as possible (or just "Philadelphia"?); what was the dowry? I think the names of witnesses is out of view.
Thank you. Will upload the other view now.
Thanks so much.

This goes with the prior image uploaded. I took two photos with my camera; whatever info we can learn between the two of these images. Thank you so much.
