10/1/2026 8:26 AM From Skanoteka.

Akta 68 is an 1838 death record from Ostrów Mazowiecka, Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland for Ioszk OZDOBA, who might be my fifth-great-grandfather. I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full.

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

10/1/2026 8:26 AM Please provide a full transcription and English translation of this Jewish birth record from Pavlograd, Ekaterinoslav Province, 1885.

The surname appears to be Гамольский (Gamolsky). This is record M40 from Fond 193, Opis 4, Delo 294.

I am especially interested in:
- the child’s full name
- the father’s full name and patronymic
- the mother’s full name
- the parents’ social status / registered estate
- place of registration or residence, if stated
- date of birth
- date of circumcision
- any other genealogically useful information in the entry

Please transcribe the Russian as literally as possible before translating it, especially the names and patronymics.

Please also note any place of registration/residence or social-estate wording, even if abbreviated.

Thank you.

10/1/2026 8:26 AM Correction: the image attached to this request is act 194, not Chana Wajnryb's 1882 act 99. Please do not translate this image as Chana's record. The correct act 99 has now been located, and this image mapping should not be used as evidence about Chana or her parents. View the post, there are no responses

9/27/2026 4:40 PM This was a letter from my great grandfather to my grandfather Leonard Caplan in Yiddish. My grandfather came to the US in 1920. His parent and two brothers and sister "stayed behind." They were massacred in their village.

I have additional images which I am also sharing in another file. 		View the post with its 1 response

9/27/2026 4:40 PM I would be very grateful for the extraction of names, dates and places in this marriage registration. I do not require a word by word translation.
Three different AI translators have made a hash of this so I am presuming the handwriting is difficult. Could I please request human eyes and expertise?

Many thanks, Robyn 		View the post with its 4 responses
