3/29/2026 1:55 PM Birth Record 8 at bottom of page. Efraim, son of Zudek Volkmann and Chawe Stemmer. Document is from Polish State Archives, Krakow Archive, Nowy Sacz Branch (formerly in Galicia, Austrian Empire).

I can see that Efraim was born on Jan 8 1883 in House #1 in Podkrasne. His parents were apparently Zudek Volkmann (town of registration is Podkrasne?) and Chawe Stemmer (town is Pisarzowa?) Also, from Column 5, his birth was apparently marked "not lawful" (uneheliche). I know this was routine for Jewish birth registrations as religious marriages were not recognized, only civil marriages.

I’d appreciate as much of a translation as possible ESPECIALLY of the descriptions of the parents (Columns 6 and 7) and Remarks (Column 12). The page was damaged and parts are missing and it’s hard to read. Thank you!

3/29/2026 1:54 PM I would appreciate a translation of this handwritten Yiddish letter.
It was written in 1938 from Ylikiai in the Telz region of Lithuania. The letter is the second side of a letter that was written by a Russian doctor. We believe by the daughter (Batia) of the patient (Taube). Batia was killed by the Nazis in June of 1941.

3/29/2026 1:54 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 44 is my great-grandfather’s first-cousin’s 1869 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. 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: Mirka GRZYBOWICZ;
- her father: Chaim GRZYBOWICZ, son of Icek Wolfowicz and Tauba;
- her mother: Ester Enia HERYNGER, daughter of Chaim Matysowicz HERYNGER and Bejla Sura WAJNTROB.

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

And if I failed to find the right document in the archives so this scan doesn’t mention any of the people I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know I made a mistake.
