115537 Translation - Hungarian

10/4/2026 4:23 PM This is the groom and his parents listed in an Hungarian Marriage Register. I can read some of the entry but not all. I think this reads groom is Izrael Biederman, born in Kosztyova Pasztely. His father is Wolf Biederman born Nagyberezna. Mother is Fani.

I can't make out any other names or words, and am looking for suggestions for the rest.Thank you.

115547 Translation - Polish

10/4/2026 4:23 PM From Szukaj w Archiwach.

Aktas 80 & 81 are 1921 birth records from Zaręby Kościelne, Łomza, Poland for my grandmother’s second-cousins. I would be grateful if someone could translate them 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 in Akta 80: Mirka GRZYBOWICZ;
- the child in Akta 81: Ester-Enia GRZYBOWICZ;
- their father: Abram Iciek GRZYBOWICZ;
- their mother: Chaja Szyfra PIEKARZ.

Thanks so much! Hopefully the handwriting isn’t too hard to read.

10/4/2026 4:22 PM This is a photo of a photo. I don't have the original image. I'm hoping to get a translation of the text on the bottom and the single word on the top. I am posting a second image of only the text on the bottom in the hope it may be easier to read. I can't improve on this image so having any of the words translated would be very helpful.

10/4/2026 4:22 PM Attached is the front side of an envelope used to send a letter from my great-grandfather Dr. Abram Riskin to my great-grandmother Bronia Riskin-Levin. The letter was sent from Haifa, where they resided, to Safed, where Bronia was staying to recover from an illness. The Hebrew reads: "To Mrs. Dr. Riskin, Main Hotel (Maiberg), Safed,"

I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the document. Thank you.

10/4/2026 4:22 PM Looking for Russian/English translation for the following document:

Maryim Ruchla Barg 1882 Miedzyrzec Podlaski Poland birth register Akta 9.

She should be listed as the daughter of Jankel Meier Barg and Eva Lichtenstein Barg. Eva may be rendered as Cheva Nucha etc. She was later known as Rachel Barg, with an estimated bith year of 1882. As far as I know Rachel was the first of the children born to Meyer and Eva Barg.

10/4/2026 4:22 PM 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."

1886 birth record for Abram Moszko Barg (Morris Abraham Barg), first son born to Meier Barg and Eva (Cheva Nucha) Lichtenstein Barg. Found as 1886 Miedzyrzec Podlaski birth record Akta 1.

He would be later known as Morris Abraham Barg after the family relocated to NYC.

115526 Translation - German

10/4/2026 4:21 PM This is a partial marriage registration that provides only the parents of the betrothed. I suspect the last entry on the page is the marriage of Löb Weisbecker and Jette Jäger because in the right column it appears to me to reference this is the second wife, the first being Karoline. This would also fit with this being Löb's second marriage; however, I want to be as certain as possible. Could you please translate both columns of the bottom entry?

115092 Translation - Yiddish

10/4/2026 4:19 PM This document a was among my grandfather's papers, and I'd appreciate the translation of the Yiddish as much as possible, recognizing the difficulty of Yiddish written in cursive Hebrew letters. Claude AI has identified the document as a standard Soviet-era parcel receipt/confirmation form. The Russian at the top says "By order No. 56030, I have received 1 parcel in full. I report that ...," and then the handwritten Yiddish, followed at the bottom by "Signature."

37048 Do you recognize?

10/4/2026 4:19 PM found this with my dad's old photos. I suspect that it is one of his cousins, possibly Albert Biensztock, but I am guessing. It is stamped Paris. Does anyone recognize them? View the post with its 1 response
115521 Translation - Yiddish

10/1/2026 8:30 AM 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
