Hello from Toronto. The attached file is a birth registry from Galicia. Record #34 (the bottom one) records the birth of my paternal grandmother, Itta RUBENFELD. I am struggling to make sense of the information that is written about Itta's mother, father and grandparents. Could one of you helpful and scholarly ViewMates translate the two chunks of text under "Mendel Rubenfeld" and "Eidla Rubenfield"? In particular, the names and town of the Eidla's parents isn't clear. Finally, could you confirm that "Kasstecher" (the name of the witness) is in fact a last name and not an occupation name? I thank you in advance for your kind help.

Hello,
The text is in Polish.

Here is the first chunk, pertaining to the father:

Mendel Rübenfeld, innkeeper in Markowa, legally married in Łańcut on 11 November 1901 (Book I, page 54, entry 11), as evidenced by the marriage certificate from Łańcut, 29 April 1907, issued by the Jewish registry office(?) [There is a word starting with “R” that may be the name of a civil official]

And the second:

Eidla Rübenfeld, innkeeper in Markowa, daughter of Ruben and Mascha Klinger, farmers in Stobierna, Rzeszów.

Finally, “Kässtecher” is indeed a surname—the witness’s occupation is “handlarz” meaning peddler.
