12/3/2025 4:38 PM This is a list of some pogrom victims from 1919. I am interested in having the Russian at the top of this document translated. I do not need to have the 32 names translated, just the heading and any of the handwritten notes. Thank you so much.

This pertains to my grandmother's younger brother. 		View the post with its 1 response

12/3/2025 4:38 PM This is a birth record recorded in 1892 of an Icek Nuchim Knaperbaum. I am helping a dear friend trace her Knaperbaum family. I realize the image is challenging but if someone could supply a translation or at least determine the names and relationships of the people mentioned in the record, parents, grandparents, witnesses, and other additional info like occupations or place of residence, that would be very helpful. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response
