114960 Translation - Yiddish

7/19/2026 4:04 PM This is the inscription on the back of a family photo taken in 1919 in Auckland. The parents came from Dvinsk, moved to Glasgow and then later to Auckland. I think the photo was sent to family in Glasgow to let them know how things were going.

Any help in translating the message would be appreciated 		View the post with its 2 responses

7/19/2026 4:03 PM From Skanoteka.

Akta 34 is an 1820 death record from Jasienica, Ostrow Masowiecka, Poland for a person who I think is my fifth-great-grandmother. 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 I would expect to see in the text are:
- the deceased: Zelda Mortkowicz;
- her husband: Idzko Herszkowicz.

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

7/19/2026 4:03 PM Scribe AI did a reasonable translation job of this marriage registration but I was completely surprised by the couple's parents' names. I would be really grateful for some knowledgeable human eyes to take a look at Szulim and Chawa's parents please. View the post with its 1 response

7/19/2026 4:02 PM The question is in the last paragraph.

Six people wrote this postcard to my mother on her last evening in Aschaffenburg, Germany, 20 April 1939, addressed to her at the home of a half-uncle of my grandmother in Darlington, England. It was also Hitler’s 50th birthday.

The five people on the right were my grandmother, a good friend of my mother in both Germany and the US, my grandfather, my aunt, and a brother of my grandmother. All of these people did leave Germany later, although the friend, Helga Löwenthal (later Greenbaum), lost her parents. I am able to read this.

On the left is a note from Hermann Weinheim who left Germany on the same day as my mother but is otherwise not connected to me. I could not read all of what he wrote. I think that it reads “Nach hoffentlich Va?a??o-freier Fahrt gut angekommen zu sein wünscht Dir.” Can anyone figure out the third word and anything I may have misread? I translate it as “Wishing you a safe arrival after a hopefully Va?a?o-free journey.”

7/15/2026 4:40 PM This is a detail of a birth record from Ukraine, possibly for a previously unknown member of our family. You can see the original page at https://data.jewishgen.org/imagedata/ukraine/Olgopol_district/DAHMO-227-1-5207/186.jpg
We'd appreciate clarification of the names of the parents and other principals or any other data that can be gleaned. The Ukraine Division translation gives the parents' names as Manus and Tema, our 2x great-grandparents. 		View the post with its 2 responses

7/15/2026 4:40 PM This is the matzevah of Avrohom Adler, opens אברהם בן מנחם חיים, and I need some help reading the rest — the death date, and whether שנרצח appears. It does look like that to me.

7/15/2026 4:39 PM This is from the family archive. I'd like to know what kind of document it is and what is written there.
The AI says it is a personal letter in Yiddish from the first half of 20th century. 		View the post with its 2 responses
