Akta 4 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s brother’s 1857 marriage record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

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

- the groom: Wolf WAJNTROB;
- his father: Abram/Abraham WAJNTROB;
- his mother: Mirka Idźkowicz;
- the bride: Chana Jochwa SEGAŁOWICZ daughter of Izrael.

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

Also, the verbal consent of the parents of male appearer and female appearer, who are present, had occurred. No objections had been raised by anyone to the marriage. The newlyweds stated that they had not made any agreement before a notary. After that, the act relating to this contracted marriage was read aloud to the appearers and witnesses and subsequently signed by the assistant rabbi and civil registrar. The appearers and witnesses could not write.
