Attached is a document from the 1936 case of Hero of the Soviet Union Semyon Samuilovich Levin, my second great-uncle, in the Communist Party (courtesy of RGASPI). Would appreciate your assistance in its translation.
(Side note: my final attempt to contact RGASPI was made thanks to Mrs. Svetlana. I could not obtain the 1954 case as well, since Levin's birth record was required, and I am currently unable to obtain it.)
Thank you. |

I believe that this letter was sent by my great-grandfather Abraham Felder to friends in the US who knew his family in Bricheva, Bessarabia. The Felders also came to the US in the early 1920s. I would be grateful for a translation.
Thanks.

I am requesting the translation of a Kovno marriage certificate from 25-6-1892.
I found it on LitvakSIG.
I am looking for a translation of row 50, the last two columns on the Russian side and the last two columns on the Hebrew side.
I want to see if this could be the marriage record of Max Mattison and Lena Ennis. Max and Lena were married about 1892 according to a US document.
A family story says there was a name change to Mattison from Zamattison upon immigration. Max's son said Max was was born in Kiev. US records show Max was born about 1869. Max was a tailor.
US documents say Lena was born in Lithuania. Her father was named Hirsch or Harry. Her mother was Liebe Klevansky or Libbie Weiner depending on the record. Lena was born about 1871.
Max and Lena had a child Sadie, born March 21, 1893 in Kauyna, Lithuania.
The Hebrew inscription on Max's gravestone is "Michal, son of Israel Eliyah". Lena's grave inscription is “Here lies Leah Devorah, daughter of Reb Tzvi.” |

From Szukaj w Archiwach.
Akta 23 is a 1909 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland for my father’s third-cousin. I would be grateful if someone could translate it 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: Chaim Mendel SIEDLECKI;
- his father: Judko SIEDLECKI, son of Yuszka Boruch SIEDLECKI and Maria ARTESTRŻELENIEC;
- his mother: Chaja Ryfka BERGMAN, daughter of Icek BERGMAN and Touba Leja GRZYBOWICZ.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

This document was partially translated once but few words still unclear. Looking for the relations of Philip Bee and the Wertheimer/Gompertz.
Thanks

My great grandfather died in 1908 and I believe was born in 1847 ?? when I was searching for his birth record I found this death record?? and I suspect that my great grandfather was in fact named after his brother who died the year before he was born ??
I would be very grateful if someone could check and translate this image and either confirm or correct my understanding ??
Best wishes and many thanks

I have most of it; I specifically need the child's given name, the two witnesses' names, and the father's occupation
?
Act № 521, Warsaw, a male infant ("младенца мужескаго пола").
Surname Цымбалист(ер)а / Cymbalista — in both the margin and the body.
Birth date: 1 / 13 October 1888 — the body reads "[перваго] тринадцатаго октября прошлаго года" (1st/13th October of last year, Julian/Gregorian). That "last year" is the key: the act is being registered in early 1889 (the top date reads roughly 24 Feb / 8 March 1889) for a birth the previous October. So the birth lands squarely on 13 October 1888 — independent confirmation of Jacob's date, from the record itself rather than the index.
Two witnesses were present ("въ присутствіи свидѣтелей …"). |

I'm wondering about this group of fellows. When was this photo taken? What was their affiliation? If you can refer me to groups interested in Jewish history or Jewish genealogy in Baltimore (or Nizhyn, Ukraine) who might know something about this group, that would be appreciated. Thank you! |
