8/8/2021 3:18 PM Hi

This is the death record for my GGG Grandmother Ester Freida Bien

I am looking to find out the date of death so I can commemorate her Yahrzeit. It looks like "Dreierschuten" but google won't translate that.

Also, want to know (probably unlikely) if any other genealogical info

THANK YOU!

66804 Interpretation

8/8/2021 3:18 PM This is the remanifest of the three children, Sylvia, William and my grandmother, Ida Applebaum. In my previous image I see that my great-grandmother, Ester Applebaum was manifest but the children were deemed "aliens" and remanifested to this new document.

Does anyone know why that would happen or what it meant? 		View the post with its 1 response

8/4/2021 12:57 PM I would very much appreciate a full translation of this short piece of text, which I believe to be the death record of my 5th great grandfather, Rabbi Ruben Bachrach. Not much is known about him, so any information included here will be of immense help. Thank you very, very much in advance! View the post with its 1 response

8/4/2021 12:57 PM This may be the death record of my 5th great grandmother Marianne Moses. I know very little about her, so a full translation of this (admittedly poor quality) text would be greatly appreciated! View the post with its 1 response
94674 Translation - Yiddish

8/4/2021 12:57 PM Full translation, please! But anything helps. What I can recognize here is Yiddish. A note about dialect: the author of this document was from Hesse, Germany. (Although this note was probably written after he immigrated in 1845.) View the post, there are no responses

I would like to know who the people in the picture were, if they survived the Holocaust and if there are relatives or friends who would like to share their story.

94666 Translation - Polish

8/4/2021 12:56 PM Dear Genners, I've been asked by a distant cousin for help translating the last column of a page from the Kowal Poland book of citizens. The dates seem to range from 1850–1884. This is the last column on the right-hand page which is in Polish. The left-hand page is in Russian, and has already been translated. I can supply the whole page if need be. Please reply to me privately with any translation you might have. Thanks in advance. View the post with its 1 response

8/4/2021 12:56 PM Dear Genners, here is a second image that a distant cousin has asked me to help with the translation. It's also from the Kowal Poland book of citizens. The date is 1885. Again this is the last column on the right-hand page which is in Polish. The left-hand page is in Russian, and has already been translated. I can supply the whole page if need be. Please reply to me privately with any translation you might have. Thanks in advance. View the post with its 1 response

8/4/2021 12:55 PM I'd like to know if third and fourth entries in this book are sons of the second entry, Chemia Cwejgenbaum (#86) my great-grandfather who died in a cholera epidemic, and, if so, confirm the names of the parents of both entries on the second page, as well as the names of the deceased and their ages and, if mentioned, the circumstances of their death. I would very much appreciate this crucial information that would help me break a brick wall in my genealogy investigations. Thank you in advance. View the post with its 2 responses
94663 Translation - Polish

8/4/2021 12:55 PM I would be extremely grateful for a transcription and translation of this document if possible. It is from a postcard written by a woman to her husband in the UK on her arrival in Gdynia on 25 August 1939 - she had come to Poland to visit her parents; you may be able to imagine what her fate was. In lines 9-11 she writes about her feelings about the possibility of war but I am afraid that I am struggling to decipher the handwriting in the rest of the document beyond a few words here and there. I would therefore really appreciate it if someone much more skilled in 1930s handwriting could help me with this. Many thanks in advance. View the post with its 3 responses

8/4/2021 12:55 PM Dear Group,

This is the "Comments" section from an 1899 marriage record in Husiatyn (marked in yellow).

I assume these are the two entries that describe the groom's father and mother.

Can you please help translating this Polish text?

Thank you! 		View the post with its 1 response

8/4/2021 12:55 PM A DNA match of mine posted this picture of a gravestone on Ancestry.com and associated it with a Morris possibly Horwitz or Gurevich in her family tree. Neither of us can read it, so we don't know what names or other information are on it. Can someone help? View the post with its 2 responses
