7/9/2025 1:40 PM This is an image from Liverpool's Rice Lane Jewish Cemetery (est. 1896).
I need help translating the Hebrew. The English inscription is mostly hidden as the memorial is broken, but the "A. YAMPOLSKI" is legible. 		View the post with its 2 responses

7/9/2025 1:40 PM This is the Pilica, Poland 1852 death registration no. 17 of Haja INSELSZTEJN. I would appreciate any extraction of data from this (to me) unclear scan. JRI-PL index for this has almost no data, with the age of "5?". Is this a woman in her fifties, or is it a girl of 5? Any information about anything in this death registration would be appreciated.

7/9/2025 1:39 PM I would love to get an English translation of these Dutch comments on the ship manifest of my great grandmother's passage from Rotterdam to Ellis Island on the Holland America Line. I am trying to solve a longtime family mystery about what happened to her young daughter, and whether she was rejected at the port of departure. My great grandmother's young son did make the journey with her. The comments seem to indicate some sort of financial clarification, perhaps a refund. Thank you! View the post, there are no responses

7/9/2025 1:39 PM Here is the full ship manifest from my great grandmother's journey from Rotterdam to Ellis Island. She is number 24 on the list, Jente Matiwiszky, and the comments I submitted in the enlarged snip appear near the bottom right side of the manifest. I am interested in an English translation of the Dutch comments to determine whether a financial adjustment was made after her young daughter was rejected at the port. Thank you!
