12/12/2021 11:57 AM I am not sure if the man on the left is the same as the man on right. The man on left in labeled as Shmuel Wolker with date 1965 which is obviously wrong. My Wolker family were Cohanim/Priests. Tradition has it they hailed from ELi Hakohen. Shmuel was married to Tobia.
Shmuel,Toiba, his siblings - Volf,yerachmiel, Miriam Gitel, and their families perished in the Holocaust. Shmuel surviving son Dov with the namesake of his grandfather Dov Ber was killed in Israel Independence war. Dov ber was married to Rachel Klotz. The family also lived in Jaslo.
My great great grandfather Yitzchok/Isaac and his brother Nathan lived in Cleveland,OH with the last name Grossman. Grossman was the last name of Mindel the wife of Yitzchok.
Dov Ber wrote letters to his son Yitzchok. We are looking for help translating them.

12/8/2021 12:08 PM Please could someone translate this birth record for me. I think this may not be who I thought it was. I'm particularly interested in the names of the father, mother and the child - first, maiden and surnames.

Many thanks
