Rywka Dyna Kalisz

GEDCOM Note

Full translation (below) of marriage certificate 1886, Brzeziny Poland of Abram Mendel Kalish to Rachel Sylberwasser...parents of Harry Kalish.

The marriage was announced publicly in Brzezin(y) at the synagogue on December 14, Dec. 21 and Dec. 28, 1885. The rabbi performing the wedding was Reb. Israel Feinkind. There IS information about his nephew, Moshe Feinkind, on Jewishgen.org. It mentions "... In his father's house, Moshe Feinkind received a traditional religious education, studied in the "Heder" and the "Yeshivas" and especially in Brezhin, a town close to Piotrkow -Lodz, with his uncle, the town rabbi, Reb Israel Feinkind, may he rest in peace..."

Also, there was no premarital agreement between Abram and Rachel. Apparently there were some marriages in Poland in the 1800's where the couple agreed to a few pages of documents describing their premarital agreement.

Itsek Baran, probably Isaac Baran, is possibly mentioned on the internet in notes about "The Baran Clan". The great-grandson of Isaac Baran (not sure it it's the same one, but possible) says, "My great grandparents were Isaac and Barsheba Baran. They lived in Eastern Europe, probably Poland. Isaac died and was burried in Alexandria, Egypt on his way to the holy land."
