From Skanoteka.

Akta 19 is an 1862 birth record from Rypin, Płock, Poland for someone who might be my great-great-grandfather. I would like it 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: Jozef Leyb LONDON.

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