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

7/15/2026 4:38 PM I have a loose translation of this document (below) but am keenly interested in understanding the dates -- what is the date of registration versus the date the actual marriage occurred at the synagogue? This is a huge brick wall I'm trying to break through! Thank you so much

114909 Translation - Tombstone

7/12/2026 9:05 PM This is the headstone of my great-great-great grandfather. He died in 1907.The headstone is in a bad way and we are considering replacing it. Unfortunately the writing is illegible. I am looking for an individual or company that specialises in trying to figure out the text. View the post with its 2 responses

7/12/2026 9:05 PM Hello,

This is an 1847 Farmers list of Joniskis. I believe Girsha Dunie, son of Itsik is listed. If he is listed, which line is he? Also, is the script on the bottom right a signature?

Here is the link
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSC5-4BD4?i=259&lang=en

Thank you so very much,

114903 Translation - Hebrew

7/12/2026 9:04 PM Hoping for full or partial Hebrew text. Document is from Nick Levine, in the UK. He asked me to try to read it for him, and I'm out of my depth. Here's what I think I see: "Might be a tennai kiddushin. Bride's name may be Rachel. It's Hebrew, the script is elegant but hasty, and the subject is a wedding (habachur hahatan, bachupa and b'ahava jump out). It mentions kesef and k'dat Moshe v'Yisrael, but it's NOT in the nearly fixed legal form of words in Aramaic of a ketubah. Uses ha- prefix instead of -a suffix for "the" consistently. There appear to be 2 witnessing sigs, 2 other sigs (bride & groom?) and an officiant or recorder at lower right. I can't find a Hebrew date, though the last word tet-resh-squiggle-bet before sigs could just about be 5652 = 1891/2. (Tet-resh-nun-dalet = 1893/4, is an Israeli friend's reading, and he observes that po Vvyn is "here in Vienna"). Cheap paper, but perhaps carefully folded to carry close in difficult times?"
