114987 Translation - Polish

7/22/2026 5:27 PM I believe this is a Polish birth certificate from Lodz. I would like to know the date of birth, and ideally the rest of the translation for Chaskel Mordka Mordkowicz.

He is the one on the right hand page (son of Mendel and Rywka)

I got the image from the Lodz town volunteer at JRI Poland
