115024 Translation - German

7/29/2026 4:24 PM The last line of this page contains a birth record listing for Anna Frater, daughter of Jonas Frater and Kathi/Katarina (nee Neufeld).

I can see that Anna was born on January 8 1872, but would appreciate as much of a translation as possible, especially any details regarding Anna's birth location/address, Anna's parents' birth location and marriage date/location/address.

Also, if any of my limited basic understanding re: basic name/date information is incorrect, please let me know what should be corrected to be most accurate.

Finally, if anyone knows if a more complete birth record certificate exists for this basic birth record listing/index, I would very much appreciate any help in locating the birth certificate, rather than just this birth record listing/index.

Thank you very much!

7/29/2026 4:24 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 62 is my great-grandfather’s first-cousin’s husband’s 1864 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the child: Icko/Icek BERGMAN;
- his father: Yusiek/Yusef BERGMAN;
- his mother: Mariem KRAKOWIAK.

Thanks so much!

115016 Translation - Russian

7/26/2026 8:10 PM The date of the marriage, the accurate ages of bride and groom, their parents full names with middle names and ages.Is the groom a 1st or 2nd time marriage or a widower? Which parents are still alive? I know Wolf is from Czyzewo. Family lore has Wolf born as Iciek Akta 18 in 1839 Czyzewo and raised by his aunt Szejna nee Blizniak and uncle Abraham Kopyto. Zelko is the father in this 1877 marriage and was the brother of Abraham, they had the same father Majer. I used AI to translate it and got many errors. The index states ages 21 for the bride and groom but i suspect it is wrong. View the post with its 1 response

7/26/2026 8:10 PM Akta 18 is the birth of Iciek Kopyto. He is presented to the registry by Abraham Kopyto and Szejna nee Blizniak but may have been the biological son of Zelko Kopyto and Gitla Wolfowna who was too young to get married. View the post with its 1 response

7/26/2026 8:10 PM Abraham Kopyto married Szejna while she was pregnant in August 1833. Szejna Kopyto gave birth to Malka Dwera Akta 7 in February 1834 about 5 months later.

115012 Translation - Tombstone

7/26/2026 8:09 PM I'd like help translating this gravestone, especially the final line and confirming the date of Feb 2, 1922.

The photo was taken during my recent visit to the Seirijai cemetery. Rogalsky is a family name, so this grave is likely a relative.

The record of this gravestone from Maceva (https://www.litvak-cemetery.info/) gave a partial translation, but when I was there myself, I dug out an additional line, which likely gives the year.

The Maveca translation was:

----
[The upper part of the tombstone is missing]
Ragolski.
She died with good reputation
on the sunrise of Thursday…
the 4th of the month Shvat
… [the rest is not exposed].
----
Can anyone help translate the rest, especially the final line in the image, so I can identify the full date of death?

With gratitude,
Rahel
