7/5/2026 6:53 PM This is a postcard that I believe was sent to my grandmother (Regina Waldman = Frau Waldman in the address line) by her father while he was in the army. The front of the postcard is a photo of several men dressed in military attire, and I see the Military paper stamp on the card. I am not sure of the year because I don't understand the 15XII stamp. Regina was born in 1912, so I would guess it is stamped a date after that.

The postcard was written in pencil, so I'd like to get a translation of what he wrote before it's completely faded. It looks to me like it starts with Liebe Frau and ends with Papa but I can't decipher anything else.

Thank you in advance for whatever you can decode! 		View the post with its 1 response

7/5/2026 6:52 PM I believe this is my great-grandmother's birth certificate and that she was born on 24 September 1872. I would like that confirmed. I would also like any information about her parents, whose names should be Josef Icek Kupferberg and Gryna Szyflinger. How old were they? What were their occupations? Where did they live (a house number)?

Thank you! 		View the post with its 2 responses

7/5/2026 6:51 PM This is the tombstone inscription of a daughter of Naftali Shapiro who passed away in 1946. She is described as the granddaughter/descendant of a Hassidic Rabbi (Admor) Moshe. It's the next (final) word that I can't read. It should be his surname, town name or dynasty name. Looks to me like it starts with a "T" and ends in "aub". Can anyone decipher this? The stone is located in Nahalat Yitzhak Cemetery in Tel Aviv. View the post with its 1 response

7/5/2026 6:50 PM Translation to English. This is Page 1 of a 4-page letter that my grandfather (born in the Russian Empire in a town now Voroshilovka, Vinnytsya, Ukraine, and immigrated to the US) had and my father (born in the US) had laminated, but I don't know if the writer was in the Russian Empire or in the US, who the sender or receiver was, or when it was written. I will upload the other 3 pages separately. View the post with its 1 response
