Translation help requested for household no. 3672 (tenth revision; apparently no. 2498 in the ninth revision) in this 1858 Vilna Jewish revision list. Source: Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), fond 515, inventory 26, file 182.

Would a reader please transcribe and translate the names, patronymics, stated family relationships, ages, and annotations for this household on BOTH the men's and women's sides? In particular, what is the name of the son listed under Gerts, and what are the wives' and daughters' names?

Two preliminary readings disagree on several handwritten names. Please distinguish letters you can read from plausible interpretations, and note anything illegible. I do not need the neighboring households translated. Thank you.
