Can anyone read Hebrew?

[BettyofKent]

I've just received a copy of a marriage contract, & I would like to know the Hebrew names of the Bride & Groom.
If anyone can translate, I'll post the relevant sections.

TIA

Why don't you post them Betty.

RC's love a challenge it would be interesting what names are translated.

Groom: Aleksander Ziskind bar (son of) Chayim Yehuda
Bride: ? bat (daughter of) Chayim

The bride's Hebrew given name does not appear, strangely. It was probably Soreh.

Amazing, I think the Hebrew alphabet is very difficult. Well done JustinL.

Can you read Hebrew or did you manage to work it out?

Very many thanks Justin, that's wonderful.

Would I be right in thinking that Chayim Yehuda would be the Polish/Jewish name Hajm Layb, & also that Chayim is Hyman/Hyam in English?

Thank you again for taking the time to help.

Betty,

You're spot on.

I have attached an explanation that I prepared for myself.

In the course of my research I have had to learn to read sufficient Hebrew/Yiddish in printed and cursive script to be able to be to decipher names, tombstone inscriptions, etc.

It has added a thoroughly interesting dimension to my research.

Did the marriage authorisation state where Alexander came from?

Many thanks Justin, it's fascinating, &, as you say, certainly adds an extra dimension to family history.

It does state where Alexander came from. Help with deciphering was going to be my next question, because to me it looks like Korea, which can't be right!
We believe his birthplace was Posnan, Poland.
