7/6/2025 9:04 PM Please help with translation / identifying the columns.
The far right column is "who was born"
I think it's a daughter, Rose. Correct?

Next column is father & mother + social status.
I want to know: what are the words beneath the underline?
Is it the mother's name?

I'm searching through Odessa birth records and getting confused with the father & mother column. Especially the word that looks like "reeno " — what does that mean?

Many thanks in advance.

7/6/2025 9:02 PM I would appreciate a translation of the whole document, but I am particularly interested in an accurate translation of the part relating to Zusje Bialostocki, near the end of the document.

Some context: the document is from Belorus archives via Yad Vashem, and is a 'list of accused people from the Bialystok region'.

Many thanks! 		View the post with its 2 responses

I think this might be a birth record of my grandfather's sibling. Parents were Szlama Glowiczower and Zelda Aronwald. I would like any useful information with dates including occupation of Szlama if listed.
