Category: Translation - Yiddish Approval Date: 11/4/2026 8:39 PM Family Surname: Hershman Country: Ukraine Town: Novogrod Volynsky Date of Image: Circa 1921	Click the picture to enlarge	I’d like a direct translation if possible. My grandfather (Pesach Hershman later Percy Dolgin) was orphaned in a pogrom in 1919 at the age of 6. He was rescued and sent to Canada for adoption. There were all kinds of documents in his file but AI was not able to transcribe them but I’m hoping you can. I’d like to know as much about his life in the Ukraine as I can and any information about his family or who took him to the orphanage. Thank you for your help. Regards, Jeff Dolgin
