114195 Translation - Tombstone

4/15/2026 4:05 PM This is my 2nd great grandfather's tombstone. I was wondering if the hebrew might shed light on his parents' names. His name was Jekuthial "Jay" David Caplan. Originally from "Russia" (per his response to the US census). View the post with its 2 responses
114035 Translation - German

4/15/2026 4:05 PM Hello,
I am only interested in the highlighted section of the document. I didn't crop the top part of the document because the headers can help. This is a marriage registry.
I don't speak German but I thought I would be able to understand most of this marriage certificate. Turns out, I don't really understand who is the bride, and who are her parents. I would like to know if Henie can be called also "Helene" (because I have record of her being called Helene later in her life). Also I would like to understand if her last name is Wohl or Wolf. It looks like her father's name is Wohl so why is her surname Wolf? Am I reading that wrong? I would like to know if her mother's first name is "Judith" or if "Judes" only means "Jew", in which case I would like to understand if Henie is described simply as "born of the jew Wolf" - that's strange? I think I don't understand the articles. Finally her birthplace is a mystery to me: what does Kindestie mean?
Thanks in advance,
Lucas 		View the post with its 3 responses
114163 Translation - German

4/15/2026 4:05 PM Attached is the first of two pages of a letter sent by my great grandfather Dr. Abram Riskin to his wife Bronya and their daughter Miriam, while they were traveling in Semmering, Austria. I find it peculiar that the letter is written in German, as they immigrated to the Land of Israel from the Soviet Union and normally communicated with each other in Russian, including in many other letters written during this trip. Would appreciate your assistance in translation. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

114116 Translation - Polish

4/15/2026 4:05 PM This is from a death document, Krylow, Poland, 1847, for my ancestor Lejba Biterman.

There are 2 columns with very tiny writing. I have zoomed in.

I am hoping you can help me figure out what it is saying. It is about Biterman and Zyngier/Zinger. 		View the post with its 1 response
