I need help identifying some of the given and family names as written. Bride's script not perfect and I'm having a hard time knowing the following.
Maiden name of mother. It looks like Zillic but English was new for her and that doesn't seem right. Also the last name looks like Chaskin maybe. I've heard it was something like Charvush.
Any help much appreciated.
Happy New Year as well

9/5/2021 6:09 PM mother's name as written appears to be Zillia Chaskin. I think the forename is meant to represent the name Tsylia, a very common eastern european jewish woman's name. The surname should probably be pronounced Haskin. can't say any more from the available information. the script looks beautiful and both bridegroom's and bride's section are filled out by the same person, I assume not the bride
