linwemithrandir:Hello, my friends! You see before you a page and upon this page, my mother and I are quite sure, is the marriage certification of my great-great-grandparents (on my grandmaternal side). Unfortunately, we cannot read the majority of it as it’s written in Hebrew, and we… well, we don’t know Hebrew! Eventually, perhaps, some day we will, but until then, we would like to humbly set this out onto the Internets in the hopes that some kind soul who can, in fact, read Hebrew, will translate whatever they can of this precious document. What is particularly important to us is actually one of the most difficult things to read – the names/signatures at the bottom.Over a hundred years ago, due to persecution of the Jews (surprise, surprise!), my great-great grandparents left their home in Russia to go to Germany. On the way, from Russia to Germany, they changed their name to Silberg (or, at least, we’re pretty certain they changed their name based on family mythology and simply the fact that Silberg is not a particularly Russian name). As a result, we don’t know their real names! But here they (probably) are, right there in front of us, and we can’t even read them (pfft)! If it helps, it’s been rumored to be something along the lines of Misepilevich (that would make sense in regards to the ‘Sil’ in Silberg), but we don’t know for sure.It would mean so much to us if someone would take the time to look over this and see what they can find – we will be looking into it as much as we can ourselves, but I know Tumblr is filled with a lot of brilliant individuals and I thought I’d take a chance and see if anyone might respond! So, thank you for reading! If you’re interested (or need close-ups of something or what-have-you), send me a message! -- source link
