Hello,

The marriage was on 15 October 1844 and registered in the village of Krynica (near Tomaszów Lubelski). The rabbi who performed the marriage was Symcha BRYLANTSZTAYN.

The groom was Berek [or Berko] KOHN RAPAPORT, unmarried, residing with his parents in Lwów (Galicia), 20 years old, from Lwów, son of Samuel KOHN RAPAPORT and Ester Zelda née LIFSZYC, merchants.

The bride was Gryna GRADSZTAYN, unmarried, 21 years old, residing with her parents in Lublin, daughter of Izrael Maier GRADSZTAYN and Hayza/Royza née HERSZKOWICZ, merchants.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement on the same day as the marriage, No. 207, before Michał CELEJOWSKI.

Many of the signatures at the bottom of the page have different spellings than the names above. The rabbi signed “Symcha Brelandsztein”; the groom signed “Berisch Kohn Rapaport”; the bride signed “Grina Gradsztei-”; and the bride’s father signed “Izriel Mayer Gradsztejn.”

One other interesting note is that the groom’s mother was present and signed the document, not the groom’s father. I have often seen this situation when the father was deceased at the time of the marriage, but there is no indication of that in this case.
