115142 Translation - Hebrew

8/17/2026 2:20 PM This birth record M170 of Abram Yosif Kletskiy was recorded in both Russian and Hebrew. I'm interested in getting a more meaningful translation of the Hebrew side, the part outlined by my gray rectangle, in particular the description of the status of the father, Yisrael Shlomo, son of Yitzchak Kletski.

The translation/transcription posted of the Russian said that the father was a town dweller (meshchanin) from the Troki District "from Zizmariai Society." I think that meant that he had a connection to the town of Zhezmir (Zhizhmory), but I'm not sure what the connection might be. The Hebrew seems to say he's an ezrach (citizen/meshchanin), but I can't figure out the rest. Is he "from here?" (Kovno), but originally from Zhezmir or maybe recognized as a community or congregation member in Zhezmir?

Thanks for any help.

115143 Translation - Hebrew

8/17/2026 2:20 PM This is the birth record in Hebrew (see my red rectangle) and Russian of Hene Keyle Kletski, born July 14 1881, 29 Tammuz, in Kovno/Kaunas City, registered as F140 (female 140) on the ledger page. I can translate the Russian and have a transcription, but would appreciate a fuller translation of the HEBREW.

It looks like her parents were Yisrael Shlome, son of Yitzchak Kletski, and Chaya Basya, daughter of Yitzchak. I'm particularly interested in the description of the father's status. Was he a "town dweller" (meshchanin in Russian)? He apparently had some connection to Vilna city or Vilna gubernia, can you decipher the Hebrew to give a fuller description?

Thanks!

115148 Interpretation

8/17/2026 2:20 PM This records the birth of Berel son of Dovid son of Leib Margolis. I am having trouble reading the wife's name. I believe her first name is Gitel but I cannot decipher what it says after Gitel.
If anyone can figure this out I appreciate hearing from you. This Berel was my great grandmother's brother, so Dovid and Gitel are my great great grandparents. 		View the post with its 2 responses

115104 Translation - German

8/16/2026 3:54 PM Attached is what I believe to be the Lodz-ghetto ID registration card of my second great-uncle Gerszon Hejnoch Zysman, born circa 1891 in Kaluszyn, the husband of Hena Gitla Zysman and, later, of another woman whose name is unknown at this time. I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the document. There seem to be elaborate notes in German, compared to the Polish on the right. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

8/16/2026 3:52 PM This document is in both Russian and Hebrew. I'd like a complete translation of the entire record, including both languages, with as much detail as possible. I'm especially interested in all names mentioned (including the deceased, parents, spouse, witnesses, or anyone else), any towns or places of origin or residence, occupations or social status, and any other genealogically significant information. Please also point out anything unusual or noteworthy in the record. Thanks so much! View the post with its 3 responses
