Hello,
Here is a translation of all the non-generic information. Please let me know if you would like a word-for-word translation. Unfortunately, these certificates don’t record cause of death.

Registration: Charlottenburg [now part of Berlin], 23 July 1914

Declarant: Max JACHMANN, sales clerk [Handlungsgehilfe], identified by the death certificate [a separate document], residing in Berlin at Linienstraße 132, who knew of the death of his own cognizance

Decedent: Samuel JACHMANN, cook [Koch], 37 years old, Jewish religion, residing in Berlin at Gollnowstraße 17, born in Flatow (in West Prussia) [now Złotów, Poland], divorced

Parents of Decedent: Alexander JACHMANN, Jewish community employee [Kultusbeamter] in Flatow, and his deceased wife Rosalie née BORCHARD, last residing in Flatow

Hi Eleanor,

I used Gemini.ai with a German transcription/translation prompt to work on this death certificate for you.

Just a heads up - this is AI-assisted, so please double-check it against any human translations you might have! I'd like to hear how it compares.

Quick reminder: AI is a helpful assistant, but YOU'RE the expert here. Always verify the results - think of this as a starting point, not the final answer!

Want to try it yourself? You'll need:
- A chatbot, I recommend try Gemini 3.0 first.
- Your [image/text/document]
- Add any context you have (names, dates, places - whatever you know!)

The prompt is in the chat so you can use it on other documents too. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Regards,
