Translation Request: Translation of Russian-written Birth Record of suspected sibling of my Grandfa

KElgert

Dear Community members,

Gustaw Elgert (Birth:  1895, Russia Poland; Death:  Unknown)

Russian to English translation is needed; accuracy of names of parents, witnesses and Godparents, and their associated ages, and places and dates of birth/residence is essential!  Questions, contact me before proceeding.

Thanks in advance for your help.

This is an abstract of the genealogical information in the document, rather than a word for word translation. I will put "(?)" behind things where I do not know for sure but am giving my best idea for what the translation is.

For the age of Fryderyk Elgert, I checked with a colleague and they confirmed that his age is listed as 48.

Interesting that you already have many Kiedkes in your tree. I looked at the record again and it definitely looks like Karol's last name begins with an L and not a K. I checked the spelling on his location as well and I believe it is Głowina, right across the pond from Dąb Polski. Hope that helps!

Great job katerinaschmidt!!

A few questions/comments before we are finished:

Is this a verbatim translation?

 What do “(?)” mean?

Fryderyk Elgert’s (1846 -) age at the time of Gustaw’s birth would have been 49, check number

Heinrich / Henryk Elgert (1849 -) was Gustaw’s father’s brother (he was 46 at the time of Gustaw’s birth); Gustaw’s Uncle and Godfather

Karol Liedke is unknown to me, even though I have many Kiedkes in my Ancestry Tree, no problem

Wilhelmina (Jabs) Elgert was Henryk Elgert’s wife; Gustaw’s Aunt and Godmother

Good morning katerinaschhmidt,

Thank you for your reply! You are correct, it was typo on my part; it should be an L not a K = Liedke. Everything else looks perfect including the location name Głowina.

Overall, an excellent job!! If you choose another, i.e. Fryderyk Wilhelm Elgert (Birth:  18 Nov 1875, Dobiegniewo,  , Russia Poland; Death:  30 Dec 1957, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA); I need a verbatim translation of, there is some question in the Record of who his mother was.

Thank you again for an outstanding effort!

All the best,

Klaus
