6/21/2026 7:43 PM SUBJECT: Looking for additional info on Gitil Grinberg, 1858 Russian Revision Lists, text line #14, to family #84 (#76 in previous revision lists); Lanovtsy, Volhynia.

I will appreciate your help in translating this 1858 Russian Revision Lists record, for Gitil Grinberg, who was added to the family Avraham Yosef Grinberg and wife Mariyam - Lanovtsy, Volhynia.

Text line #14, to family #84 (prev family #76). Image came from FamilySearch microfilm.

This record was appended to the Revision Lists at the end of the 1858; and the reason for Gitil being added to this household, at this date, is unclear. I am interested if there is additional info re: the Grinberg family written on this page.

Gitil is known to have had relationship with other siblings of this family (she is my great grandmother), so we are looking for details. Unfortunately, the age column is obscured, but 1858 would be about the right date of birth, based on known info. Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response

6/21/2026 7:41 PM This is the passenger address listed in a Steamship Ticket Purchase Ledger with Rosenbaum Bank in 1894.
I am trying to obtain a translation or understanding of where this passenger was from. The ticket purchase entry for her husband has the same address.
I believe the passenger (gg grandmother) was from Russia or Lithuania. Thank you. 		View the post with its 2 responses

6/21/2026 7:41 PM Am trying to identify this passenger's address in Lithuania written in Steamship Passenger Ticket ledger in Philadelphia, 1894.

I recently posted the same address from the wife's entry. This is the same address but from the husband's entry.

Upon further inspection now, is it possible the top line is not a name at all, but the town name Upyna (misspelled Upine)? There is some indication in other docts the family came from Upyna (in Taurage district, Rossieny region, Kovno province). (Apologies if my Lithuanian municipality designations are misnamed).

I don't know what the other words in top line might refer to.
Might "Mis" be part of the town name (like greater, smaller, upper, etc as in Hungarian town names)?

Thanks for any thoughts. Barb Snider

6/17/2026 4:57 PM Avraham Farkas was my great grandfather (Satu Mare, Hungary region) and my uncle Stanley Farkas had this photo. My grandfather Jacob (arrived NYC,1932, birth in "Combausa, Roumania") and great uncle Shmuel (survived WW2 (wife & children murdered), arrived Israel, lived in Petah Tikvah) were the only of Avraham's children known to survive.

1. I would like to find the plaque's location (likely NYC or Petah Tikvah?)
2. I would like to make sure that the names are registered at Yad Vashem and/or other relevant places to honor the victims.
3. I would like to find any other genealogical information and history related to my family that the information in the plaque can lead to

I appreciate any assistance anyone can offer, or if you can point me to the appropriate person or resource who can help.

Thank you 		View the post with its 2 responses

6/17/2026 4:55 PM From Skanoteka.

This is my great-great-great-great-grandfather’s sister’s 1835 marriage record from Rypin, Płock, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:
- the bride: Bajla GROTSZTEYN/GROSSTEIN, daughter of Lewin and Raca.
- the groom: Jozef BARAN.

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

6/17/2026 4:54 PM Hi My great/great/grandfather Calel Karpenkopf (may he rest in peace) is buried in Warsaw (Okopowa)cemetary (https://cemetery.jewish.org.pl/id_120443/info/) His grave inscription in Hebrew is "challenging"

JRI-Poland cites a Calel Karpenkopf in 3 death registrations for Warsaw each with links to scanned images of which one from Archiwum Państwowe w Warszawie: Akta zgonów - cyrkuł VI (1892-1898) reference code: 72/200/0/-/108 Item: #146 is the most likely match

If so I would be very grateful for as full atranslation of this image as is reasonably possible

Many thanks
