113338 Translation - Hebrew

1/21/2026 3:42 PM From what I can tell, this is a record of donations to Vaad Hayeshivos from residents of Trzcianne.

If so, I would be grateful for a translation of the header information and also any of the handwritten lines containing the surname BROSTOV/BROSTOFF.

In case it helps, here is a link to the webpage where the record (p. 9/14) was found:

113343 Translation - Polish

1/21/2026 3:42 PM From JRI-Poland.

Akta 48 is my great-great-grandfather’s brother’s 1839 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne or Andrzejewo in 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: Ićk Herynger;
- his father: Chaim Herynger, son of Matys and Malka Pesa;
- his mother: Bela Sura Wajntrob, daughter of Abraham and Mirka.

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

1/21/2026 3:42 PM I would like a translation of the comments in blue ink for line 71 (the birth record for Jenta). I can read the name of the parents Perla Susser and Josef Safier and also the grandmother Sary but cannot make out the name of the grandfather which looks to begin with an S.

Grateful for any help. 		View the post with its 1 response
