I don't recognize if this is Russian or German, but I believe it's the birth record for my Great Grandfather Samuel ZAMALIN and his sister Cypa ZAMALIN. I would like to know everything I can about what is written, because I don't believe they were actually born in Suwalki, but in Chavusy, 10 years earlier. Their journey is an exciting mystery. Thank you for your help.
