95821 Translation - Hebrew

10/31/2021 11:50 AM This is the first page of the index of Records of the Beth Din of Brody 1808-1817. It is part of a name index at the end of the volume.
I am looking for records of the Reisfeld, Lewin (all spellings) and Schmelkes families. I wonder if any of these names appear in the index:
Rabbi Asher Zelig Reisfeld was born around 1795.
Rabbi Asher’s son Chaskel Abraham Reisfeld was born on 8 November 1815.
Hersch Naphtali Löwe / Lewin was born around 1784
Hersch’s son Naphtola Löw / Lewin was born around 1811.
Naphtola’s son David Leib Löw / Lewin was born 31 October 1831. David Leib married Ruchel Leah Reisfeld, thereby uniting the families.
David Leib and Ruchel Leah’s son Nathan married Hudes Schmelkes, daughter of Rabbi Yischak Yehuda Schmelkes who became Rabbi of Lwów. Nathan trained with Rabbi Yischak Yehuda and became Rabbi of Rohatyn and then of Rseszów.
These were religious families and they were prosperous. There are likely to be marriage records, property records, wills, etc.
