6/21/2026 7:45 PM This is revision list image https://data.jewishgen.org/imagedata/ukraine/DAKO_384-4_1897census_Berdichev_district/384-4-96/47.jpg
The translation has some errors. Clearly the age of 5 is 25, but more importantly the surname of the 2nd and 3rd person seems to not be Gershon and to match the 1 year old. And there are two additional persons aged 50 and 80 not listed in the translation. Any help appreciated 		View the post with its 1 response

6/21/2026 7:45 PM This is a letter that was sent to my great-grandfather Harry Roth who moved to Rochester from Russia around 1906-1908. He was born around 1885 and I'm pretty sure he's from somewhere in the country now known as Belarus, but that detail is unknown.

This letter may have been accompanied by a Forvertz personal ad that said: Eyzer Roshkovitsh, seeks an uncle, a brother of Yeruchim Roshkovitsh — had a house in New Baranovitch, here [in America] they are in a milk business.

Harry Roth was a dairyman who whole life here so I believe there is a connection.

I would love to know what this letter says.

6/21/2026 7:44 PM Please reference ViewMate 114720. It appears this birth record of Josko Hardy, in the vary small town of Zareby Koscielne, is connected to the 1843 bride in the marriage record from VM 114720. JRI Poland says this birth is for Josko HARDY.

I am wondering how to connect the father of this boy born 1840 to the bride, Rywka, married 1843. Is this Josko her nephew?

Who are the parents of Josko born 1840? What are their surnames and patronymics?

Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response

6/21/2026 7:43 PM SUBJECT: Looking for the patronymic/maiden details for Tsivye Grinberg, 1850 Russian Revision Lists, family #76; Lanovtsy, Volhynia.

I will appreciate your help in translating this 1850 Russian Revision Lists record, for family #76. The record came from FamilySearch microfilm.

Head of household: Avraham Yosef Grinberg, age 24 - Lanovtsy, Volhynia. The wife's name was Tsivye, age 22. [Family #76 is second from bottom, on this record.]

The basic information for this record is available via Kremenets District Research Group (KDRG). I am interested if there is additional info about the Grinberg family written on this page, specifically about the wife Tsivye. Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response

6/21/2026 7:43 PM SUBJECT: Looking for the patronymic/maiden details for Mariyam Grinberg, 1858 Russian Revision Lists, family #84; Lanovtsy, Volhynia.

I will appreciate your help in translating this 1858 Russian Revision Lists record, for family #84 - Lanovtsy, Volhynia. Family number in previous revision lists: #76. This record came from FamilySearch microfilm.

Head of household: Avraham Yosef Grinberg, age 32. [Family #84 is at the top, on this record.]

The wife's name was Mariyam, age 28. She was apparently the second wife of Avraham Yosef; the first wife was named Tsivye, and she appeared in the same household in the 1850 Revision Lists.

A daughter named Menia Vela (1/2 year) also appears in this 1858 record.

The basic information for this record is available via Kremenets District Research Group (KDRG). I am interested if there is additional info about the Grinberg family written on this page, specifically about wife Mariyam and any other children. Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response
