The image comes from the Latvian archives.
The 1st entry is the marriage of my great grandparents, Chaim Moshe Reichmann to Sheina Sprinza in Dvinsk 1875. Please translate the Russian and Yiddish with all the details you can, but please indicate a degree of confidence if you have doubts.
Many thanks |

Przasnysz (Plock gubernia), Jewish civil register, death act 98 of 1890, Russian. Could you transcribe these four lines into Cyrillic exactly as written, letter for letter, marking anything you cannot read with [?], and give an English translation? I am particularly interested in the third line, including the word immediately after "супруговъ" (suprugov, "spouses"). Please do not normalise spellings of names. Thank you very much! |

The image is page 11 of the Skuodas Pinkas, one of the few remaining pinkassim from Lithuania. The signature from the middle of the page is apparently that of Yekhezkel Katzenellenpogen, the Knesset Yekhezkel.
I would like to get a gist of what is being said on the page (obviously parts are cut off). If needed, I can try to enhance the image to get better contrast.
I think there may be several points of historical interest on this page, not least the personal involvement of the Knesset Yekhezkel in the appointment of a new rabbi for Plunge, more than a decade after he supposedly left Lithuania for Altona. |

From Skanoteka.
Akta 5 is my great-grandfather’s second-cousin’s 1881 birth record from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland. I would be grateful if someone could translate it 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: Chaja Mirka ROZENTAL;
- her father: Icek ROZENTAL, son of Fiszel & Sura Ryfka;
- her mother: Beyla Pesla ZAREMBER, daughter of Juśk & Zelda.
Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read. |

Please transcribe and translate birth entry no. 40 in this 1885 Pavlograd Jewish birth register. Source: Fond 193, Opis 4, Delo 294.
Please include the child's name; both parents' names and patronymics; surname spelling; father's status and registered town; place of birth; birth and circumcision dates, including Hebrew dates; and the circumciser's name. Please also transcribe and explain any marginal or later annotations.
I am researching the Gamolsky/Gomolsky family. Please mark uncertain letters or words rather than guessing. A partial reading is welcome. Please focus on entry 40, not the neighboring entries.
Thank you very much.

Please transcribe and translate entry 102 for Leizer Kimels, son of Gerts, across all columns and annotations. In particular, what does the entry say about Leizer’s birth date, residence, conscription or absence in 1903? Are the listed ages for his father Gerts and mother Pesia current ages or copied family information? Does any mark say that Gerts was deceased? Please distinguish legible text from uncertain readings and identify what the red markings mean only if the page or headings establish it. |

Please translate this birth record. The handwriting in this document is legible enough for me to learn to translate for myself so if someone could kindly provide a word-for-word translation, that would be great! |

This is the children's section of a residence permit of Samson Rappaport Scharfspitz and his wife Marie Dresner. There are Ryfka Scheindel, Klara Chaja and Rachela, all born in Grzymalow, Skalat. I refer to the comments on the right hand side. Rachela (my grandmother) is reported as of 12 2 23 in Bornheimer Landstrasse married in 1922 to Jacob Birnbaum. Klara's comment seems to say she is in Frankfurt from 18 10 1914 - after that is illegible to me. Ryfka says that on 27 9 1921 she was at: ????. The word looks like Breiterweg 26 to me but that is not a street in Frankfurt. Can anyone read the word? I am uploading a larger snippet just of that part. Then comes two abbreviations the same as those for Rachela. Something like Isr. Hute.?? Any ideas? Many Thanks! David |

This is enlarged snippet of the area of interest in the children section of the residence registration of Samson Rappaport Scharfspitz in Frankfurt. See the parallel image I have uploaded of the whole childrens section, with a full explaination. I am trying to understand what is the word (likely a street name) after the date... |
