At the bottom of the document are the signatures of the fathers of the groom and bride - Beryl Gutman and Moszek Haneft - who were 3rd great grandfathers of mine.
I wonder if Temma had any siblings, and if there are living descendants of them. For that matter I wonder if she and David had any other children. They were married for 19 years and Yankel is the only one on record.
Translation by Tomasz Nowak:
All this took place in the Town of Koninskowola on the twenty-fifth day of February in the year of one
thousand eight hundred and thirty-six at the hour of ten before noon. Appeared personally Orthodox
Jew Abraham Taytelbaum, the local Rabbi, accompanied by
Orthodox Jew Dawid Gutman, the youth who had already turned twenty-two years of age, living off
his parents, native of the Town of Kock, the begotten son of a legally married couple, the Gutmans,
i.e. Beryl and Yenta the daughter of Maier*, the bakers, both of them alive and residing in the Town of
Kock,
as well as Temma Haneft the daughter of Moszek, the maiden who had already turned nineteen
years of age, living off her father, residing in the Town of Koninskowola, the begotten daughter of a
legally married couple, the Hanefts, i.e. Moszek the son of Zelman**, still alive, residing in
Koninskowola and making a living as a day-labourer, and Menucha the daughter of Herszek***, not
alive anymore,
and declared in the presence of Beryl Gutman the father of Dawid and Moszek Haneft the son of
Zelman the father of Temma as well as in the presence of witnesses, i.e. Orthodox Jews Abraham
Madrowski, the szkolnik fifty-nine years of age and Hersel Finkielszteyn, the trader fifty-eight years of
age, both of them residing here in Koninskowola that the religious marriage had been entered into
before him that day by Dawid Gutman and Temma Haneft the daughter of Moszek following
triple proclamation of banns in the towns of Kock and Koninskowola, i.e. on the thirtieth day of
January, the sixth and the seventeenth day of February of the current year,
and the verbal consent to marriage granted by Beryl Gutman the father of Dawid and Moszek Haneft
the son of Zelman, both of them present here, and no impediments to marriage had occurred,
whereunto the newly-weds declared they had not signed any premarital agreement. The above
certificate was read aloud to the appeared and subsequently signed by the Rabbi, the fathers of the
newly-weds and the witnesses.
NOTES:
*Dawid’s mother is being referred to as literally “Jeta z Maierowiczów Gutman” where “z
Maierowiczów” is probably her patronymic i.e. denotes her father’s given name was “Maier” which
we do not know though; it could well be that the above expression indicates that her maiden
surname was Maierowicz
**Temma’s father is being referred to as “Moszek Zelmanowicza Haneft” where “Zelmanowicz”
indicates his father’s given name was probably “Zelman”
***Temma’s mother is being referred to as “Menucha z Herszkowiczów” meaning her father’s given
name was probaby “Herszel”
