Death Certificates For Dvora Kawa (1867) and Leybus Kawa (1871)

Dvora's is in Polish. I think it states that her parents were Hercyk and Szajndla (Shaindel) and that she was survived by husband Leybus and daughter Perla. No surname given for her parents, but they might have lived before the era of surnames.

Translation from the Russian by Igor Solomatin:
