I have five baptism records that I would like translated. I would be very grateful if someone here could translate these for me. The first is for Natalia Bierwagen. I believe this is 1883.

For the birth records, this "How to" guide should be helpful: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/img_auth.php/9/97/1-Russia_Birth_Records_in_Paragraph_Format-Instruction.pdf

Also, if you're simply looking for the birthday, when on Geneteka if you hover over the "i", it will tell you the date of birth.

Thank you, Camille. I will look through that document. I'm not familiar with the characters in this alphabet so it's a challenge to determine what I am looking at. I was sent these images so I don't have the links, but I value these images of source documents for family history research.

It certainly does take time to learn this alphabet, but I think those videos and the "How to" guides will speed up your learning tremendously! You can do this!

I think my head is about to explode! ;-)

Hopefully not! You have so many more exciting things to find!

If you're interested, we do have a dedicated Poland Genealogy Research group as well.
