8/5/2026 4:13 PM Please help identify the child's given name in this Russian birth record.
The record is Warsaw Birth Record No. 436 (1910), birth on 28 April 1909.
The father is clearly Мендель Корнблюмъ (Mendel Kornblum).
JRI-Poland indexes the child's name as Нафтуль (Naftul), while AI transcription reads it as Иосиф.
What does the handwritten name actually say?
Best regards

8/5/2026 4:13 PM This is a birth record from the Rumsiskes Jewish community metrical book (fond 1226, inv. 1, file 1327, pages 34v-35), obtained from the Lithuanian State Historical Archives. The closing note at the bottom of the page dates it to August 1867. I'm trying to confirm the father's given name in the second entry on the left page (the male birth, mohel Leizer Peker). My own reading comes out as "Vulf" (Wulf), but I expected it to read "Daniel" based on other family records - I may be misreading it. Could someone confirm: (1) the father's given name and patronymic, (2) the mother's given name and her home community, and (3) the child's given name? If the parallel Hebrew column on the facing page is legible, that would help resolve this too. Thank you! View the post with its 2 responses

8/5/2026 4:13 PM This is a birth record from the same Rumsiskes Jewish community metrical book (fond 1226, inv. 1, file 208, pages 2v-3), dated by the page's closing note to February-March 1865. I believe this reads: father Daniel, patronymic possibly Iozelevich/Yuzelevich, mother Basa, child Alter. Could someone confirm the father's full name (given name and patronymic) and the mother's name? I'd like independent confirmation before treating this as settled, since it bears on a father's-identity question in my family research. Thank you! View the post with its 2 responses

8/5/2026 4:12 PM This is handwritten letter from my cousin in Toronto responding to a letter from a cousin in New York. I believe it deals with news of a tragedy back home in Poland, and also perhaps some questions about their hair goods business. My mother left this for me with her papers when she died and I would love to know what it says. Thanks for your help! View the post with its 1 response

8/5/2026 4:12 PM Update 06/08/26

If a full translation is problematic ... perhaps details , if possible of
1) Jacobs parents
2) jacob and or parents occupations
3) confirmation jacobs age ?

Previous

The elusive Jacob ... so in 1905 a Jacob died in London leaving behind a wife Deborah who allegedly married him in 1894 .... This record might conceivably be the record for his first marriage.... if so, then he might be my grandfathers uncle

I would really appreciate as full a translation as possible

May thanks

8/2/2026 5:13 PM Benzion LACHMAN is reporting the death of Laia LACHMAN. I would really appreciate translation of dates, names and their relationships. I can discern at least two other women's names here - who are they?

8/2/2026 5:13 PM Three handwritten Yiddish letters, dated 23 Aug 1956, 21 Jul(?) 1950 and 21 or 31 Jan 1955. The accompanying postcards shows they were sent from Baku (sender: I. Sh. GENDLER) to Novotroitsk, Chkalov (now Orenburg) oblast, USSR. Addressee: Sarra KHALDEI / Chaldei / Haldey / חלדי, b. 1887 in Kaunas; the family lived in Palestine (Haifa, Jerusalem) before moving to the USSR in 1930.

I would be grateful for a transcription and translation, and especially for:

Personal names, place names and dates.
The signature: who signs, and what relationship word is used (I think I read "דיין טרייע").
In the 1950 letter an underlined passage reads "23 [month?] 1880" and "1950", with "70" nearby - is this a 70th birthday or a birth/death notice?
Whether the writer addresses one person (du) or several (ir). 		View the post with its 2 responses

8/2/2026 5:13 PM The righthand column deals with a tragic vent in my family, and was sent to a cousin in North America as a clipping. I would love to have a translation of this, my mother left it to me when she died and all the information I have is this clipping plus a letter in Yiddish (also submitted) responding to a cousin who sent it to him.
