I
thought you might be interested in this. It's a scan of the original birth
record of my grandmother Mary Robinson Shankman from Latvia. It's Russian on
one side of the ledger, then the same thing in Yiddish on the other side of the
ledger (with Hebrew for the column headings).
Mary
Robinson Shankman's husband had Simon Shankman Men's Clothiers at 175 South
Broad Street in Trenton. Their home was 731 West State Street. Her cousin was
Maury Robinson, who had the mens' clothing shop, and her grandfather was Moses
Robinson, buried in Brothers of Israel Cemetery on Vroom Street, who lived to
age 113 (1804-1918).
On
the scan, line #8 reads 3/3/1885, Maryashe RUBENSOHN (changed to Mary
Robinson when she immigrated), born in Pommusch (now
Latvia); father Schlomo son of Mozes, place of registration Shavlan
(now Siauliai, Lithuania), mother Feige-Rebeka, daughter of Barukh-Getzel.
Stay
safe,

Hi
Arthur.....Hope you and Linda are well and safe!
I
always enjoy reading you emails of Jewish Trenton History!
Do
you have the pamphlet that was published entitled "A History of the Jewish
Federation of Greater Trenton: the first fifty years"?
I
have any extra one if you don't.

PS....Maybe
someday we will play bridge in person!
