Hello,
This is a certified statement from the rabbi of the town of Nowy Dwór dated 29 (17 [Julian calendar]) December 1862. The point of the document is to state that marriage banns (announcements) had been made without opposition such that a marriage could legally proceed.

The groom was Hersz Layb ALTSZTEJN, unmarried, 19 years old, a tailor in Nowy Dwór. (No parents are listed.)

The bride was Sura Ryfka JOSKOWICZ, unmarried, 18 years old, and residing with her father in Nowy Dwór. Her parents were Gitman, a cart driver living in Nowy Dwór; and Haja, deceased.

The marriage banns were made to the congregation at the synagogue in Nowy Dwór on Shabbat days: 13, 20, and 27 December 1862.
