Family Surname: Cymbalista
Country: Poland
Town: Warsaw
Date of Image: October 1888

I have most of it; I specifically need the child's given name, the two witnesses' names, and the father's occupation
?
Act № 521, Warsaw, a male infant ("младенца мужескаго пола").
Surname Цымбалист(ер)а / Cymbalista — in both the margin and the body.
Birth date: 1 / 13 October 1888 — the body reads "[перваго] тринадцатаго октября прошлаго года" (1st/13th October of last year, Julian/Gregorian). That "last year" is the key: the act is being registered in early 1889 (the top date reads roughly 24 Feb / 8 March 1889) for a birth the previous October. So the birth lands squarely on 13 October 1888 — independent confirmation of Jacob's date, from the record itself rather than the index.
Two witnesses were present ("въ присутствіи свидѣтелей …").
