5/24/2026 4:17 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Akta 152 is my great-great-great-grandmother’s brother’s wife’s 1836 birth record from Suwałki, Suwałki, Poland. I would like it translated in full (or at least everything that isn’t the standard wording of a birth record).

Names that I would expect to see in the text are:

- the child: Chana Jochwa SEGAŁOWICZ;
- her father: Izrael SEGAŁOWICZ;
- her mother: Laia Leyzorowiczów.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. 		View the post with its 1 response

114514 Translation - Russian

5/24/2026 4:17 PM This is the birth record of Szymon Josef HERSTINBLIT, Akt #888, recorded in Lublin in 1890. Son of Szmul and Dwojra Liba. It is a delayed birth record since 6 of his siblings were recorded on the same day and the Akt numbers are in numerical order.
I am looking for:
1. His date of birth
2. His parent's ages

5/20/2026 8:57 PM For the far right column, I would like a word-for-word translation.
For the 2nd to right column, I’d like the names of the rabbi and any witnesses.
What is the word in the 4th column on the left side?
I already know that this marriage took place on the 31st of August, and I have the ages of the bride (30) and groom (45).
Thank you.

But I have outlines in RED dotted boxes the translation areas I am interested in please. 39 and 42 row numbers.

I would be interested why Nathan Rothschild was the signatore', was he in a community postion?

These lists start on Page 431 here:
https://dfg-viewer.de/show?tx_dlf%5Bdouble%5D=0&tx_dlf%5Bid%5D=https%3A%2F%2Flwl-archiv.paderborn.de%2FA1292%2Fmets.xml&tx_dlf%5Bpage%5D=431&cHash=654df8b1faf3175c4fbb899baf87c439

At Page 431 top paragraph it mention 1824? and what this list starts off as, and what it is?
Can that be translated too please?

Kind regards,

James Rothschild
