I cannot read the Town name written on this Draft Registration Card. It looks like Bogania Russia? Looking for help in reading this town name.
Sol's siblings were born in (what later became) northeast Poland, in places like Suchopol, Szereszow, Grodno, Porzecze. I know this area was previously Russian when Sol was born, and then later Russian again (now Belarus). And I know names of places were spelled with lots of variations as a result.
Still, I'd love to know what his town of birth was, and what it was known as around 1941 which is when the last letters from his family there were received.
Thanks in advance for any help. Barb London |

I believe this is a page from the 22 Jan 1876 Additional Revision List for Vilna/Vilnius that shows the family of Iosel Leyzerovich Maruches, my great-great-grandfather's brother. I'm sorry the image is so faint. I think I have the basic facts from the LVIA index, but could you please confirm the names, ages, and any comments? For example, does it say that Iosel died in 1875? Thank you for your help. |

1839 Montefiore census of Safed, Sephardim kolel - widows & orphans sheet (Endowment scan 11720005). New colour photo from the Endowment.
In the widows column, three consecutive cells read "אם חפצן", "אם יעקב מלול", "אם יוסף ערער". In the wide blank column to their left, level with the middle one, two words are written (panel B) - the only writing in that half of it.
I now lean to a gloss rather than a later-added entry: the widows column has several empty ruled lines below its last entry, so anyone adding a widow had room inside it, and this sits level with a mid-column row, not at the foot.
Could you please read the two words? And if it is a gloss of the form "אם [name]" - "also the mother of X" - is the second word a personal name?
I get "אם" then an unread word closing with a final nun. "לא" I would reject: no lamed ascender (panel D). Panel C: three "אם" cells in the register hand.
Yaakov Melul, 20, born Oran, is on another sheet here; this row is his widowed mother. |

Image found at a link from Matricula. It is a page from a Family Register book (book 76) for Jewish families in the town. The page is for a particular Kaufmann family group, with parents, grandparents, and 9 children. I'm interested in extracting ALL information on this family included on this page, including names, birth/marriage/death dates, and especially any notes or comments. I have some of this deciphered, but also need a different set of eyes in case I have missed things, or misinterpreted things. |

I believe this is my Grandfather's birth record (from LitvakSIG).
I know the film is accurate because the text listing from the LitvakSIG database is correct. I think I'm on the right page.
I just can't translate the cursive Russian (the Hebrew cursive is way too faded).
Born in Vilnius on December 25, 1903. Not recorded until 1904. Full name is Khonon Tavshunsky. Father is Yosel. Mother is Sprintza.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I believe I can read Khonon in the last column where they record the baby's name.
Is there anyone who might be able to help translate the cursive?
Thank you for any insight or translation!

This is another page from the Matricula Family Register. My earlier post had Jacob as a child in his family; this one is showing his marriage info. I really need the cell about their marriage and the cell with her name and background info to be decoded. Any assistance welcomed! |

Please read the Hebrew and Yiddish handwriting on this page, the right-hand page of a 1928 duplicate of an 1903 birth record from Zemaiciu Naumiestis (Naishtot-Tavrig).
I would like the personal names: child, father, mother. A Lithuanian parallel page gives them in Latin letters and I am deliberately not sending it, because I would rather have what the Hebrew says than a confirmation of what I expect. I will send it once you have read.
One oddity. A single word appears five times and I do not think it is Hebrew at all. It is connected cursive, roughly six letters, with a run of six evenly spaced arches, and it ends in a large looped stroke that does not join the letters before it. The same word fills both the birthplace and the residence field. I cannot tell whether it is Latin or Cyrillic, a town name or shorthand for "the same place." Your judgment would help.
The Hebrew dates were read on ViewMate in 2026 as 28 Elul and 6 Tishri; please skip those.

Please translate the Yiddish on this sheet. The Latin-script portions I can read; the Yiddish I cannot. Two blocks of Yiddish prose sit below the register section, four lines each, plus Yiddish beside the Latin entries and a line at top right. I would like all of it, but the two prose blocks matter most.
One thing is especially interesting. In brown ink, a cursive paragraph in the same hand and ink as a letter on the reverse of this sheet, dated 27 February 1941 from Naishtot. Beneath it sits a single isolated word, where a signature would go. That letter names nobody, not its writer and not its recipient. If you can read that one word, it would tell my family who wrote to them four months before the Germans came.
The Latin dates read 1907, but those are birth dates; the sheet was written in 1941 or later.
I would rather not say what I think it says, as three programs gave three different answers. If a word is illegible, please mark it illegible rather than guess.
Thank you. |

From Szukaj w Archiwach.
Akta 1 is my great-great-grandfather’s first-cousin’s 1857 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland. 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: Cyrla ZARĘBER;
- her father: Juśk, son of Szmul ZARĘBER & Golda Chajmowna;
- her mother: Zelda, daughter of Abraham WAJNTROB & Mirka Idźkowicz.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

This is a page from the 1892 Jewish birth index for Kalisz, Russian Poland, from the State Archives in Kalisz, collection 11/693/0/-/91.
Please identify every male child on this page whose given name could be Yaakov/Jacob or a contemporary equivalent (for example Yakov, Jakob, Jakub, Jankiel, or another equivalent), regardless of surname.
For each possible match, please give:
surname as written;
given name as written;
transliteration;
act/record number.
I am deliberately not restricting the surname because the family surname before anglicisation is uncertain. Thank you. |
