7/9/2025 1:38 PM I am trying to determine if this record speaks of Yechiel (Chil) Rotbaum, son of Dawid Berek Rotbaum and Chana Jakubowicz. I beleive this should be a birth record for Chil's child with Etka Oldak. All names, dates, and towns listed would help me piece this puzzle together. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

7/9/2025 1:37 PM Hi there.

Please ignore the form on the right-hand side of the image. I'm only interested in deciphering the letter on the left in which
I can only make out some of the handwriting.

I am fluent in English and German, so a transcription in German or English translation would be most helpful for my research!

Does the letter begin "Dear Bernard & Malcia, I never received an answer to my last letter. Why? Maybe you're angry about what I wrote in my last letter." ?]

Thank you!

7/9/2025 1:37 PM from JRI there is an entry for Sora Liba Surazski, 1835, age 25, 26 March, father wolf surazski, father father Lejb. widow.
I am wondering if this is correct. Has JRI got the father and grandfather mixed up?
I am guessing I have the correct screen shot. 		View the post, there are no responses
