Source: Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), fond 728, inventory 3, file 114, pages 95–96; Vilna Jewish birth register. Please examine entry no. 320 only. Could you transcribe the Russian text for the child's name, both parents' names (including patronymics and surname), and the birth and circumcision dates, then translate it? Is a register year visible on this image? Most importantly, does the father's surname actually read Kimels/Kimelev, or something else? Please mark uncertain letters rather than resolving them from the suggested name. I do not need the other entries translated. Thank you.
