115104 Translation - German

8/16/2026 3:54 PM Attached is what I believe to be the Lodz-ghetto ID registration card of my second great-uncle Gerszon Hejnoch Zysman, born circa 1891 in Kaluszyn, the husband of Hena Gitla Zysman and, later, of another woman whose name is unknown at this time. I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the document. There seem to be elaborate notes in German, compared to the Polish on the right. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

8/16/2026 3:52 PM This document is in both Russian and Hebrew. I'd like a complete translation of the entire record, including both languages, with as much detail as possible. I'm especially interested in all names mentioned (including the deceased, parents, spouse, witnesses, or anyone else), any towns or places of origin or residence, occupations or social status, and any other genealogically significant information. Please also point out anything unusual or noteworthy in the record. Thanks so much! View the post with its 3 responses

8/12/2026 7:58 PM Hello, This is a birth record for Jakob Arkusz/Arkush that was provided by a town representative for Kalisz on the JRI Poland website. I believe his father’s name was Judah Michael Arkusz and his mother’s name was Raske Mazur. Could you please confirm the names, particularly the mother’s maiden name, and translation of the date, location, occupation, and any other relevant information?

Thank you!

8/12/2026 7:58 PM Hello, This marriage record was provided by the Sierpc town representative on JRI Poland. I believe it is the marriage record of Chaim Jacob Licht and his wife, possibly Cyrla/Cerka Luks/Lux. Could you please provide as much information as possible, particularly names, the date, and location of marriage. An occupation would also be of interest.

Thank you very much!

8/12/2026 7:58 PM As best I can tell, this is a birth record for Erna Auguste Deichmann. Hopefully, the text will explain more about her, including (possibly) her mother's later marriage to Philipp Goldschmidt. (The doc was downloaded from Ancestry.) View the post with its 1 response

8/12/2026 7:58 PM This is a postcard to Yetta Ritter in Radomysl Wielki, possibly from her brother Joseph in Tarnow. It appears there may be words missing from each line on the left side of the card.
Would appreciate translation to English and also original Yiddish transcription, if time permits.
Thank you for your effort.
