Akta 39 is an 1897 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. The surname matches my family but I don’t know who the parents are so I don’t know if the child is my relative or not. I would like Akta 39 translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the child’s name: Chaim Dawid SEGAŁOWICZ;
- his father if it’s my family: Elia/Ela/Elijah SEGAŁOWICZ, son of Shmulya/Szulim Berkowicz SEGAŁOWICZ and Itka/Ita Ryfka Herszkowna;
- his mother if it’s my family: Chaja Jospa HERYNGER, daughter of Chackiel Arya HERYNGER and Jętą KRYSTAŁ.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.

And if I failed to find the right document in the archives or the parents turn out not to be those I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know.
