German translations?

Anyone on my flist read German (and/or what is possibly Polish)? Google/Bing translate will only get me so far.

I found the birth records of my great grandfather and some of his siblings and I'm trying to figure out some of the other information on it.

My great grandfather's: http://agadd.home.net.pl/metrykalia/300/sygn.%20245/images/PL_1_300_245_0098.jpg
Abraham Feuer, the last one. I knew he was born Sep 1888 in Hordenka and his father was Issac (spelled Izak then) and mother Mollie (Malie) but I'm hoping to figure out more- like Mollie's maiden name, their parents' names, or well, anything else.

His brother's is a little more legible, Moses Meier (middle entry) http://agadd.home.net.pl/metrykalia/300/sygn.%201773/images/PL_1_300_1773_0134.jpg
I've also found sister Cirel (top entry) http://agadd.home.net.pl/metrykalia/300/sygn.%20246/images/PL_1_300_246_0051.jpg
sister Sossie (top entry) http://agadd.home.net.pl/metrykalia/300/sygn.%201979/images/PL_1_300_1979_0074.jpg
sister Rifke (bottom entry) http://agadd.home.net.pl/metrykalia/300/sygn.%20242/pages/PL_1_300_242_0174.htm (I think it says she died 22 Feb 1883 on the bottom)


From what I can piece together and make out, Izak's parents are Jankle and Sossie (as listed on the first column of the page on the right). That column seems to say Vor-und Zuname des Mutter, ihr Stand und Wohnort dann Vor-und Zuname Beschaftigung und Wohnort ihrer Eltern which roughly translates as First and surname of the mother, her status and residence then first and surname occupation and residence of their parents. Of course it also appears she's just listed as Malie/Male Feuer and if it has her parents I can't make it out but oh well....

I have a cousin who is so into the Jewish geneology for our family that he takes trips to Poland and Austria to study the documents right there and in those languages. He could certainly help with this.

Oh, would you pass them on to him? That would be wonderful. I've been poking about, trying to figure them out on my own, but not getting really far.

Wow, you are really lucky to have someone with that kind of skill and commitment in your family, I'm really impressed!

May I give him an email addy of yours -- donutsweeper at livejournal dot com or some other one -- so that you can communicate more directly about Jewish genealogy?) He will be so happy to discuss this with you...it's one of his fave subjects.)

That would be wonderful! My username at gmail is my main one (the at livejournal actually just feeds to it anyway)
