7/19/2026 4:05 PM Hello, I just found this revision list for my Great Grandmother's family. It has been indexed, but would like to know if the original document has more information. To see the English translation in Jewish gen, see SHIFMAN, Jankel, son of Moshko Ukraine Revision Lists, Group 2. Town listed is Singayevka, Berdichev. Thank you!

7/19/2026 4:05 PM I located a 2nd revision list for my great grandmother Cipa Shifman (see recent post of 1897 list). This list is from 1882. I'm looking for additional information on the original document. To see the English translation, you can find it under Ukraine Revision list Group 2: Shefman, Yankel son of Moshko. I think one of the children listed is that is Tsina in English, might be my Cipa.

Are the children's ages on the original document? Thank you, Shelly Levin crzprncess@aol.com 		View the post with its 1 response
114982 Translation - German

7/19/2026 4:05 PM This is a birth certificate for Carl Stermann, son of Samuel Ignatz Stermann and Anna (nee Frater).

I can see that Carl was born on March 25 1899, and that his birth was legitimate. His father, Samuel Ignatz Stermann, was born in Vienna on September 8 1861. His mother, Anna Frater, was born in Vienna on January 8 1872.

I’d appreciate as much of a translation as possible, especially Carl's parents' marriage date/location/address, birth location/address, name/date of birth of previous/penultimate child of Carl's parents, witnesses' names/addresses, and the open-ended, free-response text on the left-hand side of the certificate.

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.

Thank you very much! 		View the post with its 1 response
114955 Translation - Hebrew

7/19/2026 4:04 PM I understand this is the note written in the family bible when my g.g.grandfather Aaron Segil passed away Dec 16 1899. I would appreciate help translating the Hebrew (or maybe it's Yiddish?), to identify whether it reveals any information *beyond* the English that is also on the page. In particular, I haven't been able to find Aaron's parent's names, so would like to know if there is any indication of that in the document.

This is image 1 of 2 that I will upload with this question, as I have two similar pages.

Thank you so much!

7/19/2026 4:04 PM This is the inscription on the back of a family photo taken in 1919 in Auckland. The parents came from Dvinsk, moved to Glasgow and then later to Auckland. I think the photo was sent to family in Glasgow to let them know how things were going.

Any help in translating the message would be appreciated 		View the post with its 2 responses

7/19/2026 4:03 PM From Skanoteka.

Akta 34 is an 1820 death record from Jasienica, Ostrow Masowiecka, Poland for a person who I think is my fifth-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 text are:
- the deceased: Zelda Mortkowicz;
- her husband: Idzko Herszkowicz.

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

7/19/2026 4:03 PM Scribe AI did a reasonable translation job of this marriage registration but I was completely surprised by the couple's parents' names.

114938 Translation - German

7/19/2026 4:02 PM The question is in the last paragraph.

Six people wrote this postcard to my mother on her last evening in Aschaffenburg, Germany, 20 April 1939, addressed to her at the home of a half-uncle of my grandmother in Darlington, England. It was also Hitler’s 50th birthday.

The five people on the right were my grandmother, a good friend of my mother in both Germany and the US, my grandfather, my aunt, and a brother of my grandmother. All of these people did leave Germany later, although the friend, Helga Löwenthal (later Greenbaum), lost her parents. I am able to read this.

On the left is a note from Hermann Weinheim who left Germany on the same day as my mother but is otherwise not connected to me. I could not read all of what he wrote. I think that it reads “Nach hoffentlich Va?a??o-freier Fahrt gut angekommen zu sein wünscht Dir.” Can anyone figure out the third word and anything I may have misread? I translate it as “Wishing you a safe arrival after a hopefully Va?a?o-free journey.”
