From JRI-Poland.

I think Akta 18 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s sister’s 1833 death record from Andrzejewo or Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

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

- the deceased’s name: Rywka WAYNTROB/WANTROB;
- her father: Abraham/Abram/Abraam WAYNTROB/WANTROB, son of Herszko;
- her mother: Mirka, daughter of Idzko and Zelda.

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

Hello,
In this record, Rywka is the daughter of Matys and Ruchla. (The surname is the same.) Would you still like the information?
