7/2/2025 9:41 PM	I can't add much to what you already know. Father was 34 at the time of the birth and a cobbler (szewc), mother was 34, and they were living in Działoszyce. Birth was reported on 18 September 1863. The child was named Lewek Wolf. Let me know if you want the details of the witnesses :)
7/2/2025 11:29 PM	Do they mention the name of a rabbi? Thanks again for helping me.
7/3/2025 1:38 AM	Typically birth records don't mention a rabbi, as opposed to marriage records which do. The witnesses here are recorded as being skolnikow (synagogue sextons/shammeses): Symcha LESZCZ and Abram KOŁATACZ?, living in Działoszyce. Hope that helps.
