Please transcribe and translate male death entry 7 (bottom entry), comparing the Hebrew on the right with the Russian on the left. This is the 1870 Tukums/Tuckum Jewish death register, LVVA 5024/2/1122, image 6, from the Latvian National Archives: https://raduraksti.arhivi.lv/objects/1:4:13:2022:2046:9330 . The index gives A. KRAMER, father G., age 24, 27 April 1870 / 8 Iyar. Please read the original independently: what are the exact personal name, surname and any father’s name? Is “son of” explicitly written or implied by the register’s naming convention, or could two names belong to the deceased himself? Please give the Hebrew letters and Russian wording, explain abbreviations, and flag uncertain letters. Also confirm age, dates, occupation/status and any other identifying details. The full page is included for comparison with adjacent entries. Thank you.
