For the first record #29, I'd like a translation of the 2nd to the right column. I'm looking for the name of the town of registration. It may be Plungian or Plugiany. In an online database, it was transcribed as Plunshal. I'd also like to know if there is any information about the father's occupation. Thank you. |

Translation please. We suspect that my grandfather kept this note for some reason - maybe in the event of a round up in the ghetto. |

Hi - I’m trying to confirm whether this birth record (Akta No. 40, dated 1893, from the posad of Zambrów) is for a girl named Bejla, surname Geftman, father’s given name possibly “Ick” or “Icek,” and if possible the mother’s name as well.
Could someone help with:
A full transcription/translation of the entry for Akta No. 40 (bottom-left block of image)
Specifically: the child’s full name, exact date of birth, father’s full name and patronymic, and mother’s name (including maiden name, if given)
Any other identifying details in the entry (residence, occupation, witnesses) that might help confirm or rule out a family connection is also appreciated.
Context: I’m researching my own family’s history and trying to determine whether this Bejla is my great-grandmother, who would have been born in this district around 1891–1893. This was the only birth that appeared to match. Any help transcribing this is greatly appreciated! |

Hello, and thank you in advance for your help.
This is the back of a portrait photo, stamped "STUDIO" Suwałki, Kościuszki, dated 30/XI 1928. It has a handwritten Yiddish dedication, probably to my grandfather Nissen Wysoczek. I would be glad for a translation and would really appreciate it. Thank you! |

From Szukaj w Archiwach.
This is the 1835 birth record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my great-great-great-grandfather. JRI-Poland lists the following information from this record:
Date: 7 January 1835 (I assume this is the Gregorian date);
Child: Salomon LONDON;
Father: Dawid, aged 23;
Mother: Gaila, aged 21;
Witness: Salomon WOLDENBERG, aged 56.
I don’t need a full translation, but, since this is a particularly important record for me, I’d be grateful if someone could:
1) Check whether all the details listed above are correct, especially the mother’s name, which should be Bayla; and
2) Tell me any other details from the record, such as the mother’s maiden name, and the parents’ patronymics, occupations, residences, and birth places.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

From Szukaj w Archiwach.
Akta 19 is the 1872 death record from Dobrzyń nad Drwęcą, Rypin, Płock, Poland for my fourth-great-grandfather. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a death record).
Names that might appear in the record are:
- the deceased: Rywen GROTSZTEYN;
- his late wife: Bayla ERTZ;
- his father: Lewin GROTSZTEYN;
- his mother: Raca;
- his surviving children: Hersz, Jozef Eliasz, Szprynca, Hinda.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

The first line is marriage for Emmanuel and Ann Salus, but I am unable to understand where married. I obtained via Jewish Gen from the link provided. The current translation in Jewish Gen states Loděnice. |

I would be grateful for a translation of this birth record of Layzer Layb Rapoport, son of Szmul Hersz (patronynm?) and Fayga Rapoport, likely ancestors of mine. If I read it correctly, their address was 211 Brzozowa Street. I'm interested in any other potentially revealing information, like Szmul's occupation (I didn't see one). |
