7/8/2026 4:37 PM Hi! I am trying to get the Yiddish translated for the back of this photo. It would be deeply meaningful as these are my great-grandparents who were killed in the Shoah.

Thank you,

114879 Photo Identification

7/8/2026 4:36 PM I have a photograph of two women taken in Vienna. I am trying to understand which generation of ancestors they are. I'm hoping their clothes could provide a general date and thus the general ages of the two, and thus confirm who the likely women are.

The woman on the left could be Josepha Haslinger (born 1867) or her niece Pauline Anhaltzer (born 1888). The woman on the right could be Emma Haslinger (born 1865), sister of Josepha, or her niece Martha Anhaltzer (born 1887). (Martha is the sister of Pauline Anhaltzer).

The picture was taken in Vienna, where the Aunts lived and the nieces were born. The photo studio listed on the back says:
A·M·SCHEIN
WIEN, IX.
NUSSDORFERSTRASSE 10·12
Telefon: 5034...(can't read the rest)

The two nieces immigrated to the US in 1893. Pauline or Martha could have visited Vienna as adults. Emma Haslinger immigrated to the US in 1893 but made many trips back to Vienna between then and 1936. Josepha left Vienna in 1939. 		View the post with its 2 responses

114874 Translation - German

7/5/2026 6:53 PM This is a postcard that I believe was sent to my grandmother (Regina Waldman = Frau Waldman in the address line) by her father while he was in the army. The front of the postcard is a photo of several men dressed in military attire, and I see the Military paper stamp on the card. I am not sure of the year because I don't understand the 15XII stamp. Regina was born in 1912, so I would guess it is stamped a date after that.

The postcard was written in pencil, so I'd like to get a translation of what he wrote before it's completely faded. It looks to me like it starts with Liebe Frau and ends with Papa but I can't decipher anything else.

Thank you in advance for whatever you can decode! 		View the post with its 1 response

114864 Translation - Russian

7/5/2026 6:52 PM I believe this is my great-grandmother's birth certificate and that she was born on 24 September 1872. I would like that confirmed. I would also like any information about her parents, whose names should be Josef Icek Kupferberg and Gryna Szyflinger. How old were they? What were their occupations? Where did they live (a house number)?

Thank you! 		View the post with its 2 responses
