3/15/2026 1:55 PM Hello,
Thank you for translate the marriage certificate, which may be that of my great-grandmother to my great-great-grandmother. Could you please translate it with as much detail as possible, as this is the first document I have ever had translated?
I am very moved to be able to obtain information about my ancestors.
Thank you very much.

113950 Translation - Yiddish

3/11/2026 2:35 PM This letter is one of several that belonged to my grandparents, Sarah and Joseph Zaretsky. It was written by Berele Shapiro (Joseph’s brother-in-law), an actor and author whose stage/pen name was Berele Kopatkevicher. There are 3 "sections" - this is section 1/3. I apologize in advance for the condition of the letter, but would greatly appreciate a translation either in it’s entirety or just any pertinent information you may discover - names, relationships, places, events, etc. Thank you very much!

113953 Translation - Polish

3/11/2026 2:35 PM Attached is a copy of a copy of my great-grandfathers Polish birth certificate. He must have applied for a copy about the time he was to move from Windsor Ontario Canada to Flint Michigan. He was born in Kozienice Poland in 1867 and is buried in Machpelah Cemetery in Flint Michigan. At time of death his name was anglicized to Harry Beren from Herzik Birenboim. Looking for Birenboim relatives and a translation of my great-grandmothers name (Cyrla?). I am headed to Kozienice in April '26. Thank you.

113939 Translation - Tombstone

3/11/2026 2:34 PM Please transcribe and translate the Hebrew inscription at the top of this gravestone. The deceased is Max Sclare (born Mendel Sklar, 7 April 1885, Ostrog/Ostroh, Volhynia, Russian Empire; died 18 March 1970, Miami Beach, Florida), buried at Congregation Shaare Torah Adath Israel Cemetery, Fairfield, Connecticut. I am particularly interested in the patronymic — the father's Hebrew name following "ben" — as his father is known in US records only as "Louis Sclare," a tailor also from Ostrog. Identifying Louis's Hebrew name is the key to searching pre-1895 Russian Empire records in Ukraine. A companion photo of the adjacent stone for his wife Dora Sclare (died Nov 2, 1944) will be submitted separately and may help calibrate the letter forms. Dora's photo shows a partial view of Max's stone on the right. View the post with its 2 responses

3/11/2026 2:34 PM Please transcribe and translate the Hebrew inscription on this stone. The deceased is Dora Sclare (née Perrin, died November 2, 1944), wife of Max Sclare. Both stones are at Congregation Shaare Torah Adath Israel Cemetery, Fairfield, Connecticut, and appear to be by the same stonecutter. Translation of this stone may help calibrate the Hebrew letter forms for the companion submission VM[number], where the patronymic on Max's stone is the primary research target.

113942 Translation - Polish

3/11/2026 2:34 PM This text was found on the back of a photo of my grandmother with four friends.

Seems to be in Polish (which they probably spoke/wrote in Chechinov)

Wondering, what it says.
Does it identify who is in the photo or where it was taken etc.?

If you can write it in Polish (and translate to English), so I know what it says, would be greatly appreciated

Thanks 		View the post, there are no responses
