I recently made a breakthrough when I found the marriage (in Kolo
in 1886) between Icek Anszel and Maryia Kirsztejn. The record states
that he came >from Krosnowice and she was >from Dombrowice. Both towns
have been given as the homes for various Angels, the name used for
the Anszel family in England. She adopted the name Miriam in England
and whereas there are various spellings for her surname, the name
adopted both in England, and in South Africa by family members was
Kirsch.

Although I have been researching the Anszels for many years, I've
been hampered by the lack of town records for the family.
Unfortunately Miriam was murdered in 1887, and her younger sister
Jane, came to London to marry Isaac. The other siblings were Isidore
and Louis (who both emigrated to South Africa), Esther and Anne
(who made their homes in London, and for whom I have a fair amount
of information), and Bernard, who is believed to have remained in
Poland.

I've posted a vital record in Polish for which I need a translation.
It is on ViewMate at the following address ...

Birth record of Sura Leia Sokol. I realize the page is bent in the
photo, but I hope someone can translate the date of birth, and names
and ages and towns of parents, including mother's maiden name.

Thank you very much.

Hello

I am interested in finding the key or legend for 1929 Polish Business
Directory (Ksiega Adresowa Polski (Wraz z w.m. Gdanskiem) dla Handlu,
Przemyslu Rzemiosl I Rolnictwa), located here:
http://jri-poland.org/bizdir/start.htm and the table of contents here:
http://jri-poland.org/bizdir/tableofcontents.htm .

What is the meaning of the abbreviations and symbols used? For
instance, one particular entry says: "Spozywcze artykuly
(comestibles): Bachur A. ; Czyz P. Gutenska R. ;
Gutenski B. ; X Gutenski J. ; X Kaplan Sz." or "Wiatraki
(moulins a vent): Jewtuch Ig.(Pn.) Klimuk M. (Up.)
Korsak S. (B.) Mazko M. (Up.) Sieniuta M. (Ps.).".

What do the following mean: X, (Pn.), (Up.) (B.) etc?

Thanks
