112346 Translation - Tombstone

10/8/2025 1:54 PM This is the second image of two associated with my first image submission re Hyman & Cippa.
I noticed this section of the inscription on their headstone that was very weathered, so have taken a second photo specifically of it.
I’m interested in what it translates into. 		View the post with its 2 responses
112347 Translation - Polish

10/8/2025 1:54 PM I believe this (Act # 41) is the birth certificate of Israel Abraham Gotlieb, my greatgreatgrandfather. I would like a translation of this document (in particular names of the parents, their occupations if any, addresses, names of the witnesses, date of birth, and any useful information for genealogical purpose)
Thank you 		View the post with its 1 response

112316 Translation - Russian

10/8/2025 1:53 PM Attached is the very (!) short page no. 5 of a 6-page letter sent to my great-grandmother Bronya Riskin in the Land of Israel, by her brother Matvey Levin in the Soviet Union. Would like assistance in its translation.

Please note the previous page ends with the following: "Привет от Тоси и Пети. Целую. твой брат." It seems as though the letter reached its end, but there is a short addition that ends with the Levin signature as well. I believe it belongs to the same letter, although I may be mistaken.

Many thanks. 		View the post with its 1 response
