6/7/2026 4:59 PM I would love to get a translation of this document if possible. If getting the whole page translated isn't doable, I would love to get at least any names of people listed in the document and the relationships of those people to one or both of the people getting married. (I believe this to be an 1889 marriage certificate for Chaim Gelbart and Toba Mindel Goldberg. I got the document from this site: https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/skan/-/skan/a724ce56b8b006f47169b3dab76cba497d0e7dd08d80eae92915c0002ac40e00 View the post with its 1 response

6/7/2026 4:57 PM Hello,

Please translate this 1869 birth for Szimek Chałupowicz (son of Hersz) in Andrzejewo.

Note, for ease of reading the names, it might be that his mother is Chawa Pnieyowicz. Also, I also uploaded what appears to be his brother's birth (Aron Moszk) in 1869, in case that handwriting is clearer.

Claude AI says:
This happened in Andrzejewo on 8 January 1872, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Appeared Hersz Chałupowicz, a shoemaker, residing in Andrzejewo, aged 35 years, in the presence of witnesses Gersha Masternaza aged 48 and Moszka Konyeto a laborer aged 32, both of Andrzejewo, and presented to us a male infant, declaring that it was born in Andrzejewo on 8 January of the current year, at 6 o'clock in the morning, from his lawful wife Chawa Chałupowicz, née [Plevnik], aged 30 years. The child was given at the Jewish ceremony the name Szimek. This act was read to the father and witnesses, who being illiterate, our registrar signed on their behalf.

Is it accurate?

6/7/2026 4:57 PM From Skanoteka.

Akta 7 is my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother’s 1834 death record from Rypin, Płock, Poland. I would like it translated 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: Raca/Ratze GROTSZTEYN/GROSSZTEYN.
- her father: Rubin?
- her husband: Lewin GROTSZTEYN.
- her son: Rubin GROTSZTEYN.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 2 responses

6/7/2026 4:57 PM Hello,

Please translate this 1863 birth of Iciek Chałupowicz in Andrzejewo.

Claude AI thinks:
Record No. 14 — 1863
Andrzejewo

This happened in the town of Andrzejewo on the 8th/20th of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, at two o'clock in the afternoon. Appeared before us Herszek Jankielowicz Chałupowicz, aged twenty-five years, residing in the town of Andrzejewo, in the presence of witnesses Fyzka Pyrskmieza Cedek Solarz, aged fifty-seven, and Jołka Pniermicza Goner Theklora, aged fifty-nine, both residing in Andrzejewo. He presented to us a child of male sex, born in Andrzejewo on the 14th of December of the current year at three o'clock in the evening, from his wife Chawa Hertzhimuj, aged twenty-two years. At the circumcision ceremony the child was given the name Iciek. This act was read to the father and witnesses, and signed by the witnesses — as the father declared he was unable to write.

Witness: Fyzko Cedek
Witness: Josiek Goner

Is it correct? 		View the post with its 1 response

6/7/2026 4:56 PM Hello,

Please translate this 1869 birth for Aron Moszk Chałupowicz (son of Hersz) in Andrzejewo.

Note, for ease of reading the names, it might be that his mother is Chawa Pnieyowicz. Also, I am uploading what appears to be his brother's birth in 1872, in case that handwriting is clearer, to compare and decipher the names referenced.

Claude AI says:
Andrzejewo, akt 7

This happened in the town of Andrzejewo on the 19th of March, 1869, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Appeared Hersz Chałupowicz, a shoemaker (sapozhnik), residing in Andrzejewo, aged 32 years, in the presence of witnesses... and presented to us a male infant, declaring it was born in Andrzejewo on the 19th of March of the current year, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, from his lawful wife Chawa, née Plevnik (Пlevnik), aged 20 years. The child was given at the Jewish ceremony the name Aron Moszek. This act was read to the father and witnesses — they signed, or others signed on their behalf.

How accurate is it?

Thank you
