6/29/2025 1:53 PM This is a letter written by the relative of a cousin.

I would greatly appreciate a translation.

I apologize for the poor quality of the scan. I realize that this letter is a challenge, particularly the crowded upper part of the page. Whatever you can decipher would be greatly appreciated.

There may be a few sprinklings of Hebrew. If you do not read Hebrew, please just ignore those.

Thank you in advance.

111267 Translation - Tombstone

6/25/2025 2:01 PM This summer I am hoping to go to the Jewish Heritage Center in Boston to do some genealogical research about my Zlatkin family who lived in Springfield. My goal is to find the town they came from, and any other information they have. A translation of the full inscription can potentially help me identify Philip's (Rabbi and Cantor at Congregation Kesser Israel in Springfield) parents and his Hebrew name, which in turn can help me find him in immigration records and Russian/Eastern European records.

6/25/2025 2:01 PM This should be an image of Dobra Hudwajde's death record. She was my 5x great-grandmother. Can someone please provide a direct translation? I'm especially looking for information on the name of her husband, her father, her mother, and her mother's maiden name. But I'd also love a direct translation of the entire thing, if possible.

Thank you! 		View the post with its 1 response
