94830 Translation - Hungarian

8/15/2021 12:14 PM I would appreciate a translation of line 203 (Blume Berger). It appears that she passed away in Dec 1876. What is the significance of the line starting with 108 in the last column? The mother's name is written as Sali but I knew her name to be Cima or Cili. Thank you very much. View the post with its 2 responses

8/15/2021 12:13 PM This postcard was sent from Switzerland to Warsaw in 1918 (I think). I don't know who sent it or who the recipient was. If you can translate the text and postmarks I'd love to know who in my family was able to go to Switzerland from Ostrog,Poland or Radziwillow, Volynia and why they were there.

At the bottom of the card, written in French (I think), is the phrase "Suisse, Cailly sur Montreux". Also written is "hotel-pension" and 2 words I can't read. There is a town called Cailly-sur-Montreux in Switzerland, on Lake Geneva. I'm guessing that the writer was in a hotel called "Pension d---y xxx". Unfortunately, I don't have the original postcard so I don't know what image was on it. And the stamps are missing (probably because someone in my family was a stamp collector!).

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 		View the post with its 1 response

94813 Interpretation

8/15/2021 12:12 PM This is the burial registration of Lyon Benjamin, for whom the Hebrew script reads (I understand) 'Yehuda bar Binyamin Bunem'. The registrar wondered whether 'Bunem' might have been a nickname; perhaps it might have been used as a family name in Holland or England, although Lyon used 'Benjamin' as his family name in England. If 'Bunem' was a nickname is there anything in the Hebrew script that might indicate whether that nickname was attached to the name of Lyon or was attached to the name of his father?

94804 Translation - Polish

8/15/2021 12:11 PM I am wondering if this is the birth certificate of Brana Wilk, father Mordko Samuelowicz Wilk, mother Sura Borkowna, date of birth 20 Oct 1843.
If this IS for her, I'm hoping it might confirm the above information, and if there is other information that could be helpful in furthering this search, including names of witnesses.

Thank you to all who can help.
