10/21/2026 4:01 PM Please translate this weathered Hebrew gravestone from the Jewish cemetery in Herschberg, Pfalz, Germany (JOWBR record J_GERMANY_0026123, Section B, Row 2, stone 4). The index gives the surname Frank, death 26 Nisan 5599 (April 1839), and husband Mordechai. I'm especially hoping for her given name, her father's name, her husband's full name, and any sign of Levite or Kohen status. Family tradition names a Mordechai Frank and wife Pauline as early ancestors. Thank you! View the post with its 2 responses

10/21/2026 4:01 PM I believe Wolf Ber KRYMGOLC was my great-great grandfather. I want to find out as much as I can but especially what was the name of his wife. The gravestone of his son (my grandfather) refers to his "brothers and sister". I would like to find out what happened to them as we had all believed they'd been murdered in the Holocaust, but their mention on the gravestone was several years after the end of the war.

10/21/2026 4:01 PM Attached is the birth record of Hinda Dwojra Brocka (akta 1004), my second great-aunt, born in 1900, in Lodz, to Szmul Majer Brocki and Mirla Joab, to my knowledge. This is fairly close to the birth of my great-grandfather, born in 1902 to a different mother. Hinda lived within the Lodz ghetto during the Holocaust, and her final fate is unknown.

10/21/2026 4:00 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

This is the 1840 birth record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my great-great-great-grandmother and her twin sister. JRI-Poland lists the following information from this record:

Date: 15 December 1840 (I assume this is the Gregorian date);
Children: Szprynca & Hinda GROTSTEIN;
Father: Rubin, aged 44;
Mother: Bayla, aged 40;
Witness: Icek GRONER, aged 64.

I don’t need a full translation, but, since this is a particularly important record for me, I’d be grateful if someone could:

1) Check whether all the details listed above are correct; and
2) Tell me any other details from the record, such as the mother’s maiden name, the parents’ patronymics, occupations, residences, and birth places.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

10/21/2026 4:00 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 23 is the 1891 death record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my fourth-great-grandmother. I would be grateful if someone could translate it 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 record are:
- the deceased: Bajla LONDON;
- her late husband: Dawid LONDON;
- her father: Kalman Ber MUNTER;
- her mother: Odel ROZNER;
- her surviving children: Salomon, Freyda, Abram.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

10/21/2026 3:59 PM Please translate this 1914 Jewish birth record from Widawa, Poland, act 13, supplied by the State Archive in Łódź (register sygn. 148). Please confirm the child’s exact name: the archive called him “Nil,” but the handwriting appears to read Khil/Chil (Хиль). Please confirm the birth and registration dates, parents’ full names, mother’s maiden surname, ages, occupation, witnesses, and wording concerning twins.
Adjacent act 14, translated on ViewMate 115416, records Izrael Icek, born 16/29 April 1914, to Szmul Lewek Lipszyc and Rajzla née Zyscholc, and describes him as one of twins. Does act 13 identify the other twin? Please transcribe the child’s and parents’ names in the original Russian as well. 		View the post with its 1 response
