From Skanoteka.

Akta 2 is my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather’s 1848 death record from Rypin, Płock, 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: Lewin GROTSZTEYN/GROSZTEJN.
- his son: Rubin GROTSZTEYN.

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