1/25/2026 2:20 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Aktas 149 & 150 are my grandmother’s half-first-cousins’ 1890 birth records from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomża, Poland. I assume they were twins. I would like those two records 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 in Akta 149: Jenta SEGAŁOWICZ;
- the child’s name in Akta 150: Chaim SEGAŁOWICZ;
- their father: Elia/Ela/Elijah SEGAŁOWICZ, son of Shmulya/Szulim Berkowicz SEGAŁOWICZ and Itka/Ita Ryfka Herszkowna;
- their 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

1/21/2026 3:44 PM I am interested only in the highlighted part of the document, which is a marriage certificate between Gedalie Lobl and Schewa Stenzler. I would like to translate everything on that line, and the corresponding headlines (i.e.: "The groom: Gedalie Lobl"). I am especially interested in knowing the names of the parents of the married couple. Thanks View the post with its 2 responses
