8/1/2025 2:56 PM I believe this to be the marriage record of Icek Zolty and Rajzela Boms (perhaps also known as Hinda as seen on birth records of Icek's children).
I would like as much information as possible, especially Icek's date of birth and details of his parents if present.
The source of the document is here: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/skan/-/skan/37262f06a13e64410e58923b82a4247a37bbbe30c2ca9c9810e42a395be72d02 		View the post with its 1 response

8/1/2025 2:56 PM This image contains two consecutive pages of the Kalisz births deaths and marriages redister from 1886, and all four entries appear to be for four children from the same family all registered on the same day. I would like to know the names and dates of birth of all four children as well as the father and mother's names and ages.

8/1/2025 2:54 PM Thank you for your help in translating Hebrew on the gravestone of Marcus Ruby of Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.

Cemetery is "Westwood Cemetery / Hamorean Nusach Hari Cemetery / Mishkan Israel Cemetery" in Inkster, Wayne County, Michigan" (Detroit area).

The image originated on FindAGrave:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/162242896/marcus-ruby

Marcus was born ~1847 in Austria (Galicia). He passed 6 Oct 1923 in Wayne County, Michigan.

Marcus's wife was Sophie Leah Mantell. Marcus's father is unknown.

Marcus had three known children, one used surname "Rubenstein" on marriage document. Question: was Marcus's family surname Ruby or Rubenstein (or both)? 		View the post with its 2 responses

8/1/2025 2:54 PM Thank you for your help translating Hebrew on a headstone.

Cemetery:
Kremenets Jewish Cemetery (modern day Ukraine)

Person:
Chayim ben Avraham

Date:
23 Mar 1920 (4 Nisan 5680)

Note: this image has been previously indexed by JewishGen. Existing translation: "the honored Mr..."

Looking for possible additional information from headstone (understanding that it is difficult to read - sorry).

An adjacent headstone for two sisters "Dvore Hetil Shreyer" and "Rachel" (ViewMate ID: 111591) may be related. 		View the post with its 2 responses

111212 Translation - Polish

8/1/2025 2:54 PM Hello ViewMate volunteer,
This is a picture of my grandfather's birth record. He was Chaim Adam, and his parents were Izrael Adam and Estera Schochet. There is quite a lot of commentary written on the document and I would like a translation of information contained there. It may not be entirely possible as the writing is small and tight... But I appreciate anything you can glean from what is legible. Many thanks!
Kind regards to all,
Judith Adam
