Hello! I’m looking for help translating an 1838 death record, held by the Polish State Archive (https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/jednostka/-/jednostka/14210817, scan 16 of 35, record #33 on bottom left of that page). Indexed by LitvakSIG, I originally found it via JewishGen, where info shows as: Name of deceased JUDEL KOWIENSKI, parents Leyba & Sora. Died at age 65.

Town of SEIRIJAI, in modern-day Lithuania. I think in 1838 this was part of the Russian Empire, record is in Polish.

I believe this Judel is my G.G.G.G grand-parent.

I’d like help translating the full record. When trying to do translations on my own, an AI suggested it says “died without descendants” which would mean that this can’t be my direct ancestor. So I’m especially seeking confirmation about whether it says anything like that, and a full translation of the record would be appreciated.

Thank you!
Rahel
