113433 Translation - Hebrew

1/28/2026 1:52 PM This inscription sits on the reverse of a photo that was posted from Brooklyn, NY to my GGF in London (the photo is of his sister who migrated to the USA in 1917 and married in 1926)

I believe it is in Hebrew (could be Yiddish) and I would very much like a translation if at all possible

Thanks

113432 Translation - Russian

1/28/2026 1:51 PM This is from the 1845 Family list for Kamajai in Zarasai region. It is a note relating to a "Ketonovich family"- regarding their registration in 1834, and their place of origin.

While I can see it says "Registration 8 in 1834", I cannot read the middle columns where it says their place of origin, nor the right column.

I would greatly appreciate a translation of especially the middle column, and identification of the town & village it mentions.

Kind regards, David 		View the post with its 1 response

113424 Translation - Polish

1/28/2026 1:50 PM My grandmother’s half-first-cousin was Jenta Segałowicz. She was born in Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland in 1887 to Elia Segałowicz and Chaja Jospa Herynger.

This is a 1918 marriage record from Łódź, Piotrków, Poland for a Jenta Segałowicz, but I don’t know if it’s the right person. If it’s the right person, I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

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

1/28/2026 1:50 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

I think Akta 60 is my grandmother’s half-first-cousin’s 1896 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: Berek 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 so this scan doesn’t mention any of the people I’m expecting then there’s no need to translate it, just let me know I made a mistake. 		View the post with its 1 response
