This is my great-great-great-grandfather’s brother’s 1833 marriage record from Tykocin, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the groom’s name: Wolf HERYNGIER/HERYNGER.
- his father: Matys HERYNGER, son of Herszk;
- his mother: Malka Pesa Chaimowiczów;
- the bride’s name: Szejna Chinka;
- her father: Wolf;
- her mother: Frandla Herszkowiczów.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 2 responses

4/12/2026 4:07 PM I am seeking the town name. These two newlyweds were from Frankfurt Germany, but this could be in France because the card was printed in Nice France. It could have also been taken in Italy. View the post with its 1 response

4/12/2026 4:07 PM I wish I had a cleaner image of this, and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get a better closeup. Still, I am hoping someone can see the name of the father here -- even a guess at the first letters would help. I'd be grateful for any other information, but this is a relative whom I can't exactly place on the family tree. View the post with its 3 responses

4/12/2026 4:05 PM From Skanoteka.

Akta 54 is an 1874 birth record from Rypin, Płock, Poland for someone who might be my great-great-grandfather’s sister. I would like it translated 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’s name: Ryfka LONDON;
- her father: Salomon LONDON, son of Dawid & Gaila;
- her mother: Szprinca GROSSZTEJN, daughter of Rubin & Bayla.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

I would like to know what these postcards say. My family lived in Łomża, Poland. I have uncles and aunts whose identities I do not know, and I am reconstructing my family history. I am especially interested in names of people, places, and any other information that may be relevant.
Thank you very much!
