I would be grateful for help reading a handwritten Yiddish letter from 1921-22. It is a page from a file in the Canadian Jewish Archives (Montreal) about a group of Jewish war orphans brought to Toronto in 1921. It appears to be written by a young woman in Toronto, and the stamp at the bottom looks like it says "Sept 16". The three images show the top, middle and end of the page.
I can only make out single words. A full translation would be wonderful, but even a partial reading or a rough sense of what it says would help. I am researching my family's history, and this may relate to my aunt.
Thank you very much.

I believe this is an engagement/wedding announcement for my grandmother and grandfather. The maternal line came from Pavlograd in Russia/Ukraine. Marian Malin wed Israel Ben-Zion Teplitz, I believe in Philadelphia, PA. He worked for the Yiddishe Veldt newspaper. I would love a translation of this announcement. Thank you! |

Double headstone of Isadore Kamber (died 19 Sep 1929) and his wife Sarah Kamber, born Crost (died 24 Jul 1928), Jewish Waldheim Cemetery, Forest Park, Illinois, Gate 49 (Machziki Hadas). Please translate the Hebrew on both sides. Most important: Isadore's father's name on the second line of the right side, after the abbreviation for 'son of'. Is it Yosef (יוסף), Yose (יוסע), or Zuse (זוסע)? Please also confirm Sarah's Hebrew name and her father's name, and both Hebrew dates. Thank you! |

1456 Tax Record listing a Jew named Lazar de Pastrana and other Jews living in Castile (Guadalajara/Hita), Spain. The Jewish population in this tax record is separated from Christian one, which may indicate the urban segregation of the Jewish community in at that time (1456).
Seeking full translation of the document from Spanish to English. The document was written in the Spanish language utilizing the Courtesan script writing style.

Please translate this weathered Hebrew gravestone from the Jewish cemetery in Herschberg, Pfalz, Germany (JOWBR record J_GERMANY_0026123, Section B, Row 2, stone 4). The index gives the surname Frank, death 26 Nisan 5599 (April 1839), and husband Mordechai. I'm especially hoping for her given name, her father's name, her husband's full name, and any sign of Levite or Kohen status. Family tradition names a Mordechai Frank and wife Pauline as early ancestors. Thank you! |

I believe Wolf Ber KRYMGOLC was my great-great grandfather. I want to find out as much as I can but especially what was the name of his wife. The gravestone of his son (my grandfather) refers to his "brothers and sister". I would like to find out what happened to them as we had all believed they'd been murdered in the Holocaust, but their mention on the gravestone was several years after the end of the war. |

Attached is the birth record of Hinda Dwojra Brocka (akta 1004), my second great-aunt, born in 1900, in Lodz, to Szmul Majer Brocki and Mirla Joab, to my knowledge. This is fairly close to the birth of my great-grandfather, born in 1902 to a different mother. Hinda lived within the Lodz ghetto during the Holocaust, and her final fate is unknown.
Your assistance in the translation of the document will be appreciated. Thank you. |
