1893 Szczuczyn M#20 – Froim Rubin Rotenborski & Sora Czosnik

This happened in the town of Szczuczyn on November 15th (November 3, Julian), 1893 at 8 P.M. Heszel Shapiro appeared, the Rabbi of the Szczuczyn Jewish District, in the presence of witnesses: Joszk Berensztejn, age 37, a hatter, and Jankiel Aronson, age 60, a synagogue member and caretaker, living in the town of Szczuczyn and stated that before him today a religious marital union was contracted between Froim Rubin (2 names) Rotenborski, a bachelor, age 18, born and living in the town of Grajewo with his parents, the son of Moszk Herszkowicz and Rywka Berkowna née Monk, living spouses Rotenborski, residents of Grajewo and Sora Czosnik, a maiden, age 16, born and a permanent resident of the town of Wizna [but] living with her mother in the town of Szczuczyn, the daughter of the deceased Szluma and the living Chana Szlemowna née Sosnik*, spouses Czosnik. This marriage was preceded by three readings of the banns announced in the Grajewo and Szczuczyn Jewish synagogues on October 14th, 21st and 28th (October 2, 9 and 16, Julian) in the current year and no prohibitions to this marriage occurred. Verbal permission was given by the parents present. The newlyweds stated that a premarital agreement was not contracted. This record, after being read aloud, was signed by us and those present, except for the newlyweds, who cannot write.

• A very uncommon surname. Perhaps Czosnik was intended, but it isn’t possible to know from the record. The spelling of the two names is clearly different in this record.
