Akta 27 is an 1845 death record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland for someone who I think is part of my family, but I’m not sure of the connection. 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: Ruchla WAJNTROB.

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