Would love to get a translation of this. It is on the back of a photo of my late grandmother's sister's family in Russia. I have no information on the family other than a few photos.

This is your sister Bayle with her husband and your sister Sarah in the middle.
6/27/2021 11:49 PM It's "and the sister Sareh in the middle" not "your".

It's usual to precede "sister" and other family members with a "the" in Yiddish.

The word after the Yiddish for "husband" is און not דיין
