114500 Translation - German

5/17/2026 8:37 PM This image is an excerpt from Sniatyn (at the time part of the Autro-Hungarian empire) in 1858. It's the homeowners' registry. This is the only record I have of my great-great-great-grandfather Hersch Schifer (our name evolved in Schifres later).
I am interested in the line above and the line below his (so only the lines highlighted in yellow) but I would need the headers translated as well. I don't speak german.
I can read Moses Schifer (line 261) but I can't read line 259. It's another Schifer but I can't read the first name. I also don't understand why there is a "Strumberger Chaim" in line 259 below, and I am hoping the german between the two names would share some light in the matter, or if not, the remarks at the end of the line on the right. I want to know if this is a married couple, or what other reason they would both be mentioned. Thanks in advance!

114432 Do you recognize?

5/17/2026 8:36 PM I'm actually not sure if this picture takes place in Paris, France or in Mandate Palestine.
The man sitting on the stool is my grandfather, Berl/Bernard Braunstein.
These could be friends or comrades associated with the communist party...

Do you recognize anyone?
Do you have any clues as to where this picture might take place? 		View the post, there are no responses
58472 Photo Identification

5/17/2026 8:35 PM I believe this is Aaron Kramer and his wife Celia née Kuretsky. This the only known photograph of the two. There are photos of them on their gravestones, but they have withered away. I am still hoping that one day I can find or be sent any more photos of these two, but I am just grateful that at least one photo of them exists. View the post with its 1 response

114489 Translation - German

5/13/2026 4:13 PM The document is the death certificate of my great-great-great grandfather Joseph Meyer Levy who died on 22 January 1848. The documents were prepared at the Birnbaum Court and are currently in the State Archive. My main interest is finding the names of any relations such as father, son etc, who exactly is Alexander Levy, and the age at death so I can work back to year of birth.

114480 Translation - Russian

5/13/2026 4:12 PM Attached is the marriage record of Israel (Srul) Isidor Glupczynski and Hinda Dwojra Brocka, the sister of my paternal great-grandfather Icek Josef Brocki. I am particularly curious to know whether the record notes her mother as Mirla Joab, presumably Szmul Majer Brocki's first wife, as it seems Hinda was a half sibling to my great-grandfather and his sister Adela. Would appreciate your assistance in translation. Thank you. View the post with its 2 responses
