8/26/2026 4:51 PM Please could you give me a transcription of this family entry from the 1858 revision list (see associated image for the females page). The transcription at JewishGen has Itsyk listed as a grandson but with father as Yankel, and I'm wondering what the original document says. View the post with its 1 response

8/26/2026 4:51 PM Please can someone help me translate the entry number 27 on the image. It is the marriage record of Zecharje Gottlieb and Lana Berger. I am specifically looking to clarify if his mother Serel Gottlieb was still alive at this date but also grateful for all the information contained.

8/23/2026 5:33 PM This is an 1898 marriage record from Wysokie Mazowieckie, Łomza, Poland for my great-grandfather’s first-cousin. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a marriage record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:
- the bride: Chana GERINGER/HERYNGER;
- her father: Szmul GERINGER/HERYNGER;
- her mother: Itta Refa MAZOWIEC;
- the groom: Berko Chacko SENDAK.

Here’s a link to the record, in case the resolution of the uploaded file isn’t high enough: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDB-GSFZ-4?lang=en&i=34

Thanks so much! 		View the post with its 1 response

8/23/2026 5:33 PM Hebrew/Yiddish side of a 1928 duplicate of a 1903 Jewish community birth
record, Zemaiciu Naumiestis (Naishtot), Lithuania.

Please read the handwritten entry in the middle field, labelled
"yom u-shnat ha-leida be-milim (ha-ta'arikh ha-ivri)" - day and year of
birth in words, Hebrew date.

I need the day and month only. Is it 15 Elul or 28 Elul 5663 - or
something else?

This matters because the Lithuanian side of the same document gives
7 September 1903. If the Hebrew reads 15 Elul, that is 7 September
Gregorian. If it reads 28 Elul, the civil date was Old Style Julian and
the true Gregorian date is 20 September 1903.

The top and bottom fields are the parents' residence and the place of
birth, both of which I read as Naishtot - happy to be corrected on those
too. 		View the post with its 1 response

8/23/2026 5:33 PM Two renderings of the same name, from the left and right of one document:
a 1928 duplicate of a 1903 Jewish community birth record, Zemaiciu
Naumiestis (Naishtot), Lithuania. Both fields name the mohel.

A - Lithuanian side: "M. KRAKA_ _ SKY" - I cannot resolve two or three
characters in the middle of the surname.

B - Hebrew/Yiddish side, same name, same clerk, written more fully.

Two questions:
1. Is the given name MENDEL?
2. Does the surname read Krakinovsky, Krakanovsky, or something else?
It is probably toponymic, from Krekenava (Yiddish Krakinove),
Kovno gubernia.

Note that B is a Hebrew-to-Hebrew copy while A is a transliteration of a
Russian-language 1903 register, so B may preserve the original spelling
more faithfully than A. 		View the post, there are no responses
115193 Translation - Yiddish

8/23/2026 5:33 PM Hebrew/Yiddish side - the right-hand page of a 1928 duplicate of a 1903
Jewish community birth record, Zemaiciu Naumiestis (Naishtot), Lithuania.

Four fields, top to bottom:
- parents' residence
- day and year of BIRTH in words, Hebrew date
- place of birth
- day and year of the BRIT in words, Hebrew date

Please read the two Hebrew dates. My reading is 28 Elul 5663 for the
birth and 6 Tishrei 5664 for the brit - eight days apart, which is what
the brit requires - but I am not confident of the month words.

Context: the Lithuanian side of the same document gives 7 September 1903
and 14 September 1903. If the Hebrew dates are as I read them, those civil
dates are Old Style (Julian) and the Gregorian equivalents are
20 and 27 September 1903. 		View the post with its 2 responses

115182 Translation - Hebrew

8/23/2026 5:32 PM This comes from an invoice from Wenig Monument Works in NYC for my grandfather's headstone. His Yiddish name was Herschel. I think the first word on the second line is Tsvi, his Hebrew name, which means the third and fourth words might be his father's name.

A translation would be much appreciated. :-) 		View the post with its 3 responses
