Hello,
I just uploaded Iciek's birth, this seems to be his death record.

Claude AI thinks this record states:
Record No. 4 — Death, 1865
Andrzejewo

This happened in the town of Andrzejewo on the 2nd/14th of May, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, at four o'clock in the afternoon. Appeared Herszek Jankielowicz Chałupowicz, aged twenty-seven years, father of the deceased, and Hevsrzek Pasternак, aged [~40], and Abram Chałupowicz, aged thirty-nine years, all residing in Andrzejewo, who declared that today at four o'clock in the morning in Andrzejewo there died Iciek, aged one and a half years, son of the appearing Herszka Jankielowicza Chałupowicz and Hany z Hersznów małżonków Chałupowicz. This act was read to the appearing father and witnesses, who upon being asked about the death of Iciek Jankielowicza Chałupowicza, signed — as the appearing father and witnesses are unable to write.

Is that accurate?

Thank you

6/14/2026 5:56 PM It's pretty accurate. I'd add that the father and the two witnesses were all cobblers, and Abram was 38, not 39. There is no age indicated for Herszek PASTERNAK.
The mother's maiden name/patronymic is z Herszków (either her father was Herszek or Herszek was her maiden name) not Hersznów and she and the father were spouses.
6/17/2026 7:36 AM 4. Andrzejewo. It took place on the fourteenth day of May in the year of eighteen sixty-five, at the hour of four in the afternoon, in the town of Andrzejewo. Appeared personally the Jew Herszek Jankielowicz Chalupowicz, a shoemaker, twenty-seven years of age, the father of the deceased, and the Jew Herszek Pasternak, a shoemaker, and also Abram Chalupowicz, a shoemaker, both thirty-eight years of age, both residing in Andrzejewo, and stated that the Jew Iciek, one and a half years of age, the son of the appearer Herszek Jankielowicz Chalupowicz and Hana Chalupowicz the daughter of Herszek, a married couple, had deceased earlier that day, at the hour of four in the morning, here in Andrzejewo. After it was visually ascertained that Icek Jankielowicz Chalupowicz had deceased, this act was read aloud to the appearer and witnesses and subsequently signed, albeit only by me as the appearer and witnesses could not write.
