Gesher Galicia SIG #Galicia Need a short Polish translation: what was her age at death? #galicia
Brooke Schreier Ganz <asparagirl@...>
A big congratulations to AGAD in Warsaw for starting to put their
internal microfilm images online, and to JRI-Poland for adding links to those new AGAD images within their database results! For those of us with ancestry >from Galicia, finally having access to the original record books is a big help. But the new ability to see the original images leads me to a problem: how old was Reise (Rose) SCHREIER GROSS at the time of her death, on July 24, 1890, in Nadworna (Nadvirna, Ukraine)? JRI's search engine index says she was the daughter of Simon and Riwe SCHREIER and was 78 years old when she died, which would put her birth at around 1812. But >from other sources, I know that Simon was born circa 1823 and died in 1903, so Reise's age of "78" in the index can't be right, as he can't be younger than his own daughter. Either her age of death is wrong in the index, or perhaps Simon and Riwe were not meant to be listed as her parents, but as her siblings or cousins or something? Basically, I need someone who can read Polish to take a quick look at this death certificate and figure out the puzzle. I have cut out just the line that refers to Reise and blown it up to a larger size to better see the handwriting. Here's the link: http://db.tt/TqDIWlJo Please make sure to his the "download" button in the top right corner to get the full-size image downloaded to your desktop, not the little hard-to-read on-screen image. Thanks in advance for your help! - Brooke Schreier Ganz Los Angeles, California
