114810 Translation - Tombstone

6/28/2026 3:56 PM i would be grateful for a translation of the language above Philip's name -- I'm trying to find his Hebrew/Yiddish name and ideally that of his father. (I apologize for the angled photo, which is the only one I received.) Many thanks!! View the post with its 1 response
114811 Translation - Russian

6/28/2026 3:56 PM I have most of it; I specifically need the child's given name, the two witnesses' names, and the father's occupation
?
Act № 521, Warsaw, a male infant ("младенца мужескаго пола").
Surname Цымбалист(ер)а / Cymbalista — in both the margin and the body.
Birth date: 1 / 13 October 1888 — the body reads "[перваго] тринадцатаго октября прошлаго года" (1st/13th October of last year, Julian/Gregorian). That "last year" is the key: the act is being registered in early 1889 (the top date reads roughly 24 Feb / 8 March 1889) for a birth the previous October. So the birth lands squarely on 13 October 1888 — independent confirmation of Jacob's date, from the record itself rather than the index.
Two witnesses were present ("въ присутствіи свидѣтелей …").

114815 Photo Identification

6/28/2026 3:56 PM I'm wondering about this group of fellows. When was this photo taken? What was their affiliation? If you can refer me to groups interested in Jewish history or Jewish genealogy in Baltimore (or Nizhyn, Ukraine) who might know something about this group, that would be appreciated. Thank you!

114803 Translation - Russian

6/28/2026 3:55 PM Hi. The index record for this page indicates Luzer Levkov was both the head of the household and 3 years old. This seems unlikely. Could I get a translation? I'm looking for a Leizer Levkov born around 1870 in Bogopol, father's name on the death record is Isaac. If this boy is 3, who are his parents and who is he living with?

114804 Translation - Other

6/28/2026 3:55 PM This is Portuguese from the records of Bevis Marks Synagogue. If possible a full translation would be very helpful. I believe some of the names are abreviated so if you have any insight into what the abbreviations would have typically represented that would be much appreciated. Trying to establish names and family relationships. I believe it's dispute over money! View the post, there are no responses

114792 Translation - Russian

6/24/2026 4:41 PM My great great grandfather was named Calel Karpenkopf. I have found 3 death registry records in Polish Archives for Calel Karpenkopf, All broadly right location ,right era but none match the date on his alleged grave. One image has been checked out and appears to be for a grandson ie my grandmothers brother.

So the question is who is this calel . A full ar is reasonable translation to identify him and any possible links which might point to my family would be appreciated
