I am particularly interested in having Caspar Caplan's Hebrew name translated but might as well also do Dora and Samuel.
Thank you.

KASRIEL son of Hirsh the Cohen

Dora:

DEVORAH son of Yehoshua

Samuel:

SHLOMO son of Yechiel the Cohen

Dora was, of course, Devorah, DAUGHTER of Yehoshua.
10/27/2021 11:00 PM Samuel Caplan's name in Hebrew is written as:
Shlomo son of Yekhiel HACOHEN KAPLAN
["K" is the standard transcription of the Hebrew letter "ק" which starts the surname in Hebrrew]

This is unlike the text for Casper, in which the Hebrew only contains HACOHEN.
