113674 Translation - Tombstone

2/18/2026 2:35 PM I would like help with translating the Hebrew in this document, which is an old transcription made from a headstone in the Vienna Wahringer cemetery. Anna Lichtblau Kreisler was born in 1818 in Senica, Slovakia, and died in Vienna in February 1862. View the post with its 6 responses

2/18/2026 2:35 PM This is a handwritten letter in Hebrew script, written on the left half of a single folded sheet that appears to have been mailed without an envelope.

The reverse side is labeled in Russian “Адресъ” (Address) and is addressed in English to “Mr. J. Baronsky, 39 Foochow Rd, German Concession, Tientsin, China.”

I believe the letter may date to approximately 1919–1921 and relate to Russian Jewish migration through Harbin and Japan. It comes from family papers of the Baronsky family, originally from Siberia, later in Harbin, Tianjin, Japan, and Seattle.

I am seeking:

1. A full, accurate English translation.
2. Confirmation of the language (Yiddish vs. Hebrew).
3. Clarification of the closing signature (possibly “Mendel”).
4. Any clues that may help approximate the date.

2/18/2026 2:34 PM I would appreciate a complete word-for-word translation of this death record of Tema Klugman. The record is archived as Lublin, but she may have died in Bilgoraj. I'm not sure. This image is from the Polish archives. I obtained it via JRI-Poland. Thank you so much for your help! View the post with its 1 response

2/18/2026 2:34 PM I have 3 photos of my great-grandfather's business truck (Levinson & Son Hauling & Fixtures) from Paxton, Illinois. This same note is written on the back of each photo, presumably Yiddish. Anyone know what it says? View the post, there are no responses

2/18/2026 2:34 PM This is a link to an 1835 Revision List for two families - Yankel PLOTKIN and Izrael PLOTKIN (this is page 1 of 2). I don't need a full translation - the names and patronymics of the people present for the current census have already been indexed and translated. But I'm very interested in the text that's not a name and patronymic - like what it says about the people who were present in the previous census but not this current one, or vice versa. Thank you!

113667 Translation - Tombstone

2/18/2026 2:34 PM Would be grateful for an English translation. This is the best available image unfortunately and I was unable to lighten the shadow to any good effect. Died 1818. Father's name may be Löw/Loew Seligmann. View the post with its 2 responses

113659 Translation - Polish

2/18/2026 2:33 PM From Geneteka.

Akta 65 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s sister’s 1824 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the child’s name: Zelda WAYNTROB/WAJNTROB;
- her father: Abraham/Abram WAYNTROB/WAJNTROB, son of Herszko;
- her mother: Mirka, daughter of Idzko and Zelda.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

2/18/2026 2:33 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 7 is an 1897 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. The surname matches my family but I don’t know who the parents are so I don’t know if the child is my relative or not. I would like Akta 7 translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the child’s name: Icko Mejer SEGAŁOWICZ;
- his father: Elia/Ela/Elijah SEGAŁOWICZ, son of Shmulya/Szulim Berkowicz SEGAŁOWICZ and Itka/Ita Ryfka Herszkowna;
- his mother: Chaja Jospa HERYNGER, daughter of Chackiel Arya HERYNGER and Jętą KRYSTAŁ.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.

And if I failed to find the right document in the archives or the parents turn out not to be those I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know. 		View the post with its 1 response
