3/24/2004 Please help with Yiddish translation View the post with its 1 response
407 Translation - Russian

3/24/2004 This is the reverse of a photograph of an unknown woman. The date, judging by her dress, might be the second half of the 19th century. If the printing includes the location of the photographer,it might help to identify her. It is probably in the Ukraine (Russia). There are apparently two words in Yiddish in the upper left corner that might include her name.
