From Szukaj w Archiwach.
Akta 35 is an 1890 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland for my great-grandfather’s second-cousin. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).
Names that I would expect to see in the text are:
- the child: Ruchla ZAREMBER;
- her father: Herszko ZAREMBER, son of Juśk & Zelda;
- her mother: Shendlya DYNDA.
Other than the child’s name and date of birth, the details should be the same as VM115549.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

This document was provided by my grandmother, Irma Athene Katz Kustiner to the 1st edition of the Western States Jewish Historical Quarterly, dated October 1968. It is found within the memoirs of Marcus Katz, my great-great-grandfather. I was able to access the Quarterly using the last name of Kustiner in Family Search Books. I am looking for a complete translation of the document for genealogy purposes, and for my immediate family. |

This undated wedding photograph is from my family's collection.
The bride is Hilda Sara (Hilde) Baumann, born January 8, 1908, in Gemünden am Main, Germany. The groom is Berthold (Bert) Halberstadt, born December 24, 1906, in Nieder-Mockstadt, Germany. The wedding date and location are unknown though we think Frankfurt is a strong possibility.
I would appreciate help identifying the other guests. The woman at the far left, beside the bride, may be Hilda's mother, Barbara Baumann. The man immediately to the right of the groom may be Hilda's father, David Baumann. Both identifications are unconfirmed; positions are from the viewer's perspective.
Does anyone recognize this photograph or have a labeled copy? I would also welcome information about Hilda's parents or siblings. |

This undated photograph from my family's collection shows Lina Rothschild (married surname Halberstadt, born 1874), seated with her children. Her husband was Elias Halberstadt (born 1877). The family had ties to Nieder-Mockstadt and Nidda, Germany, but the photograph's exact location is unknown.
We identify Recha (later Recha Simon, born 1905) as second from the left and Sara (later Sara Stern, born 1910) as the girl at the far right.
Our tentative identifications of the boys are: Berthold (born 1906) at the far left; Eduard (born 1903) standing behind and to the right of Lina; Leopold (born 1914) seated on Lina's lap; and Ludwig Eliezer second from the right. These identifications are unconfirmed. All positions are from the viewer's perspective.
Does anyone recognize this photograph or have family records that could help confirm the children's identities? Any information about this family would be appreciated. |

I believe this documents the marriage between my Great Great Grandfathers sister (Elena/Helena Edelshteyn /Lait and her husband Nooson/Nathan Radzilovski.
I'm interested in confirming names of any family members. Especially interested in whether there are any others individuals with a last name of Lait (leijt/Lit) or Edelshteyn.
I apologies if this is not Russian, that was my best guess. I have attached the link below.
https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/en/jednostka/-/jednostka/17529609?p_p_id=Jednostka&_Jednostka_delta=1&_Jednostka_cur=44
I found this record by searching for the surnames of both RADZILOWSKI and LAIT Phonetically. The record was located in Grajewo Births, Marriages, Deaths 1880 in the JewishGen - Poland area.
Thank you in advance

German Kurrent reading: Ettinger family books 1256 and 298, Lviv
Please help transcribe and translate the names, relationships and transfer notes in these Lviv/Lemberg Jewish community family-book entries, especially the lower group on family 1256 and the corresponding entries on family 298. Does either page explicitly state a relationship between Moises/Moses Ettinger in family 1256 and Lipe or Brine Ettinger in family 298? Please distinguish clear readings from uncertain ones. I am seeking an independent reading, not confirmation of a proposed parentage.
Source: TsDIAL 701/2/27, family 1256, FamilySearch DGS 7804170, image 801; and TsDIAL 701/2/24, family 298, DGS 7804171, image 800. These are rolling community/tax records catalogued 1796-1850.
Thank you. |

ViewMate translation request, Hebrew
I believe this is the gravestone of Miriam / Rebecca Sharshevich/Scher, born in Lithuania. I believe her father is Shimen. Her married name is Cinoman.
Does that agree with the information on this gravestone?
Thank you,
Ann |

I would love to know any and all names in Hebrew in this ketuba. I assume it is a wedding in the US or Western Europe because the witness names at the bottom are not in Hebrew script, but I cant make out the blurry official stamp which might be a clue.
The witness with surname Waterman might be a relative of my mother, but I have never heard of his first name.
Thanks to anyone who takes the trouble to look at this blurry image. |

1897 Russian Empire census, from the Latvian Government Archive.
I am trying to trace my family heritage, and I think this may be them, but ChatGPT is struggling to translate. I am asking for a literal Cyrillic transcription plus English translation, with uncertain letters marked.
Thanks |

From Szukaj w Archiwach.
Akta 91 is a 1921 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland for my grandmother’s second-cousin. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).
Names that I would expect to see in the text are:
- the child: Bejla BERGMAN;
- her father: Icek BERGMAN;
- her mother: Tauba Leia GRZYBOWICZ.
For convenience, I note that this record should have identical details to VM115556, which I believe was a registration on the same day, except for the child’s name and date of birth.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

Attached is the birth record (akta 18) of my second great-uncle Pejsak Rzetelny, the son of Chaim Zyskind Rzetelny (whose name I believe I can decipher in the record) and Golda Chaja Rzetelna (nee Brzytwa).
Your assistance in the translation of the document will be much appreciated. Thank you. |

Attached is 1/2 pages of a letter sent by my great-grandfather Dr. Abram Riskin to my great-grandmother Bronia Riskin-Levin. The page notes in Hebrew the settlements of Nahalal and, perhaps, Tel Yoseph. I recall Abram attempting to be employed as a doctor in Nahalal.
I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the letter. Thank you. |

Photo dated 21.7.41 in a town called Gorodok.
Taken by German war correspondent:Trautvetter part of the Wehrmacht PK unit.
I believe this town is in Belarus since the other pictures I have are from the same area.
Would like to find anyone who might know these people and give them a copy |
