Witnesses: Szmul Cwajgenbaum, Srul Lichtensztajn.

After covincing myself of the death of Daria Rydzewska nee Prosto, this Act was read to the declarants, and due to their illiteracy it was signed by Us only.

Thank-You, Marcel!

Can I have these two entries translated? Including the remarks columns on the second page. Sorry for the duplicate post.

Hi,
When searching for Lipa's family, keep in mind that the letters H and G were often used interchangeably in Russian. As a result, the surname may be recorded as either Hendel or Gendel.
I found Lipa registered under the surname Gendel. He was born on April 15, 1880, in Płock.
I have sent you a PM.
