Looking for a Russian/English translation of the following:

1885 birth record of Leia Barg Miedzyrzec Podlaski Poland birth record Akta 116.

Leia was I believe the second child born to Jankel Meier Barg and wife Eva Lichtenstein Barg (also known as Cheva Nucha). There is some debate as to whether Leia Barg was later known as Sara L. Barg, with the "L" possibly standing in for "Leia."

There is also a Chaia Sura Barg born a couple of years later--it isn't known whether she was also a duaghter of Meier and Eva Barg, though Sura is a better inspiration for "Sara."
