Thank you so much!

114151 Do you recognize?

4/5/2026 4:03 PM Based on a ChatGPT interpretation, The Cyrillic reads
Lower left: АТЕЛЬЕ
Lower right: ФОРМАН
Put together, it likely says:
АТЕЛЬЕ ФОРМАН
which translates as:
“Forman Studio” or “Forman Atelier”

Does anyone have any information about a Forman Atelier in Berezdov or Novograd-Volynskiy District, Volhynia Province in the 1900s?

4/5/2026 4:02 PM Hi,
This is the death record of Zelik ROTBARD from 1826.
It's a very interesting record for me because it is one of the oldest there is, and it describes Zelik's married daughters' information.
Please help me with its translation.
Thanks,
Ido

4/5/2026 4:01 PM Hi,
This is the death record of Cyrla FERBER from 1837.
I'm interested in understanding two things about its translation:
- Is her parents's surname is necesseraly Raychberg, or could it be Rotbard?
- Are both of her parents dead?
thanks,
Ido

114127 Translation - Polish

4/5/2026 4:01 PM From JRI-Poland.

I think Akta 27 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s first-cousin’s 1839 death record from Andrzejewo or Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).

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

- the deceased’s name: Szmul Motel WAINTROB/WANTROB;
- his father: Matys WANTROB, son of Herszko;
- his mother: Ruchla, daughter of Icko.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.

4/5/2026 4:01 PM Hello,
I would greatly appreciate help translating these two related cursive Yiddish letters.
Letter 1 (136): Written by my grandfather, Abram Icek Feldman, from Raanana (Palestine) in May 1937.
Letter 2 (138): The reply from his cousin, Yocheved. You can see her sign-off "דיין קוזינע יוכבד" at the end.
Any help translating the full text would be wonderful. Thank you!
