1219 Translation - Yiddish

10/15/2003 This is the inscription on the back of a postcard photo, which may have come from France. It shows a man with his small daughter, possibly from the 1920's (based on the girl's dress). Several of my relatives immigrated to the US via Le Havre, France, so it's possible that the photo of these people was taken there as well. View the post, there are no responses
