5/10/2026 4:08 PM This letter was sent from Zhmerinka, Ukraine from a woman named Lisa Bitko, who was a cousin of my grandmother, who had emigrated from Zhmerinka to the US in 1916. The letter was sent directly to someone in Brooklyn, who I assume was also a relative. I suspect the letters tells what happened to Lisa and other family members during and after the war.

5/10/2026 4:07 PM Please transcribe and translate.

Indexed with the following information: Marriage of Sura KACENELENBOGEN (age 19, born in Porozowo to Jakow Mejer and Chana Ruchla) to Dawid KON (age 26, born in Ciechanow to Gersz and Blima nee KOCHAN).

I'm particularly interested in other information about Sura Kacenelenbogen, such as her mother's maiden name, where her parents resided at the time of her marriage, any family members who were witnesses, if there was a dowry, what type of work she did, etc.

Sura is the mother of a treasured older relative. Thank you!

Are the fathers' names for both Elia and Sora, from both the Russian and Hebrew sides, available? Are the towns of registration listed for Elia and Sora, or their fathers? Any other biographical/occupational information for Elia, Sora, or their fathers in the record? Thanks in advance, Michele Lock View the post with its 1 response
