I just need any names and dates/ages from this record for Ruchla Rzeznick from Kock. If her parents, husband or children are listed, it would be helpful to know them.

7/14/2025 7:01 AM Фамилия Ржезник в этом акте только у "повивальной бабки".Повивальная бабка- это женщина, которая на дому принимает роды у женщин. Вполне вероятно, что повивальные бабки были обязаны сообщать о рождении детей. В акте сказано ,что явилась повивальная бабка Михая Ржезник, 26 лет, жительница города Коцк и принесла младенца Сруля, который родился у незамужней по фамилии Штерн.
=======================
In this act, the surname Rzheznik is only mentioned in connection with a "midwife." A midwife is a woman who assists in childbirth at home. It is likely that midwives were required to report the birth of children. The act states that a midwife named Mihaya Rzheznik, aged 26, from the town of Kotsk, arrived and brought a baby named Srul, who was born to an unmarried woman named Stern.
