Akta 54 is an 1840 death record from Ostrów Mazowiecka, Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland for Ick 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

9/23/2026 4:56 PM Folio 17a of a manuscript siddur copied in Tunis in 1820, National Library of Israel record 990000585500205171. The page is a memorial list of deceased rabbis, one name per line. Could you please transcribe the names on this page. I am looking especially for any member of the Vazan or Ouazan family. Thank you very much. View the post with its 2 responses

9/23/2026 4:56 PM This is Jewish birth record No. 14 from Widawa, Poland, from 1914, for Izrael Icek Lipszyc (also spelled Lipshitz), son of Szmul/Szmuel Lipszyc and Rajzla/Raizel Zyscholc.
I would especially like to know the exact date of birth of Izrael Icek, including both dates if the record uses the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
I am also trying to determine whether the record says that Izrael Icek was a twin, or contains any wording that would indicate a multiple birth. His brother Chil/Yechiel Lipszyc is also recorded elsewhere as having been born in 1914, so this distinction is important.
If possible, I would appreciate a translation of the relevant portion of the record and clarification of the birth date and any twin notation 		View the post with its 2 responses

9/23/2026 4:55 PM Miedzyrzec Podlaski Marriage Book 1882 Akta 13.

Jankel Mejer "Jacob Meyer" Barg
Chawa Necha "Eva" Lichtensztejn (Lichtenstein)

Looking for a Russian/English translation of the attached marriage record. Meyer and Eva Lichetenstein Barg emigrated from Poland to NYC in the 1890s (several sources indicated 1891 while his 1905 naturalization records stated 1899) with several children, all likely born in either Miedzyrzec Podlaski or Siedlce in eastern Poland. Meyer Barg's father was named as Mordechai/Mortke in Barg's 1933 NYC death record (age given as 80) while his mother's name was rendered as "Duba." 		View the post with its 1 response

9/23/2026 4:54 PM Source: Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), fond 728, inventory 3, file 114, pages 95–96; Vilna Jewish birth register. Please examine entry no. 320 only. Could you transcribe the Russian text for the child's name, both parents' names (including patronymics and surname), and the birth and circumcision dates, then translate it? Is a register year visible on this image? Most importantly, does the father's surname actually read Kimels/Kimelev, or something else? Please mark uncertain letters rather than resolving them from the suggested name. I do not need the other entries translated. Thank you. View the post with its 1 response

9/23/2026 4:54 PM Translation help requested for household no. 3672 (tenth revision; apparently no. 2498 in the ninth revision) in this 1858 Vilna Jewish revision list. Source: Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), fond 515, inventory 26, file 182.

Would a reader please transcribe and translate the names, patronymics, stated family relationships, ages, and annotations for this household on BOTH the men's and women's sides? In particular, what is the name of the son listed under Gerts, and what are the wives' and daughters' names?

Two preliminary readings disagree on several handwritten names. Please distinguish letters you can read from plausible interpretations, and note anything illegible. I do not need the neighboring households translated. Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response

9/23/2026 4:54 PM Translation help requested for entry no. 22 and the heading date on this supplementary Vilna Jewish revision list. Source: Lithuanian State Historical Archives (LVIA), fond 515, inventory 25, file 44, page 82.

Please transcribe and translate the complete entry for Movsha [name and patronymic to be verified], including his age and the wording referring to his father's family and tenth-revision household no. 3672. Is the document dated 24 January 1871 or 24 January 1872? The final digit has been read both ways.

A reading of the relevant Russian words, with uncertain letters marked, would be especially helpful. I do not need entry no. 21 translated. Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response
