Hello. I'm not sure if this is Markus Kohn's birth certificate (number 13), as one source states he was born in 1839, but the certificate is from 1840. If it lists his parents as Izaac Kohn and Frajdla Hajman, could you please transcribe it into Polish or translate it into English? Thanks, best regards

Unfortunately, this does not look like the same person. The child’s father was Maurytzy KOHN. The mother’s name is hard to read, but it is definitely not “Frajdla.”
