111171 Translation - Hebrew

6/18/2025 1:45 PM This is the weathered headstone of Max CORRICK/Motl KOREK.

I would be very grateful if you can determine if there is a Hebrew name here for Max (possibly Mordechai) and his father - to date, unknown. 		View the post with its 1 response

111151 Translation - Tombstone

6/15/2025 1:41 PM This is entirely in Hebrew. I can't read Hebrew. Who is the stone for? Does it offer birth or death dates? Any other genealogically useful information. (I am not interested in the formalisms)
Thanks 		View the post with its 2 responses
111152 Translation - Tombstone

6/15/2025 1:41 PM This is one side of a stone for Reuben I. COHN. This side is entirely in Hebrew, which I cannot read. The stone is unusual in that it is tall with a square cross-section. One side is not engraved, one side is so weathered that no engraving can be discerned. The final side tells me that Reuben Cohn was born in Russia and died 12 July 1894 in Binghamton. I have enhanced this image as best I could. Can any additional information be gleaned from it? View the post with its 2 responses

111144 Translation - Russian

6/15/2025 1:40 PM From szukajwarchiwach site via JRI-Poland.

This should be the record of my great-great-grandfather’s sister’s 1877 marriage in Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the bride’s name: Mafa/Mata Pesja Geringer, daughter of Chaim Geringer (son of Matys) and Bejla Sura Wantrob (daughter of Abram);
- the groom’s name: Abram Moszek Iglowicz.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.

And if I failed to find the right document in the Polish state archives so this scan doesn’t mention any of the people I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know I made a mistake. 		View the post, there are no responses
