10/13/2021 10:26 AM this is the first page of a letter written by my grandmother. I'm not sure of the language it is written in but it looks like Yiddish. I don't know who it is written to or when it was written. The only thing I recognized was my grandmother's name at the end of the letter. I found this letter in my father's papers after he died.

10/13/2021 10:26 AM I understand 95% of this birth registration for Liba Chazda. Please translate only the lines I've underlined or marked in blue. Basically: the names and occupations of the witnesses, the last line giving the reason for the lateness, and the special notations made in the left-hand margin (in the blue box). Thanks very much, Ed View the post with its 1 response

95541 Translation - Polish

10/10/2021 12:36 PM This the entry for the birth of Benzion Baumrind (Mandel)in 1888. But instead of following the columns on the page, this is written across them.

I would love to know what it says. I think that its Polish but am not sure.

Thanks.

95542 Translation - Russian

10/10/2021 12:36 PM I would be grateful for a translation of the first four columns - not the column headings - just the handwritten information such as first and last name, parents names, date of birth, and what looks like current status.
Is there any other relevant genealogical information?
