				Hi all, would someone be able to decipher these few words for me, please? See attached image. This is what I have translated from the marriage announcement, but can't figure out the other 3 words. 
 
 "April des Jahres tausend acht(hundert) vier und siebzig zu ??????, wohnhaft in Hamburg."
 
 I'll start here, but if someone is able to easily translate these marriage announcements from the old German script, would you mind if I uploaded the whole thing? Just let me know.
 
 Thanks!

				Welcome to rootschat loveshackers.  :)
 
 It might be an idea to add "german" or similar to your subject heading, as it might attract anyone able to assist.  :)
 
 Younwill be allowed to download sections of the document, but not the entire thing in one go. Copyright reasons I believe.
- 
				Szernry Hora .... Ostrawa, I reckon
			
- 
				What sort of document is this. Marriage record?
 
 What´s the persons name?
- 
				Szczury, Kreis Ostrowo (the registrar spellt it Szcrury)
 
 Szczury is a place, that before the Versailles Treaty belonged to German Empire and was situated in the administrative region Ostrowo.
 I think the German name was Alt Kirch.
 Szczury now belongs to Poland.

 I think so too
- 
				Yes, I will go along with that. 
			
- 
				Well, way to spoil me on my first post!  ;). You did in moments what took me hours and I still couldn't get a few words.
 
 I updated the Subject - thanks for the advice there.
 
 It is a marriage announcement for Adalbert Wrobel (with umlaut) and Katharina Pawlak. I see parent names further down on the document, which are names I have never seen before, so I am anxious to get the whole thing translated. Is there somewhere I can donate to the site? I haven't looked around yet.
 
 I'll attach another image here to see what you think. Can I upload the whole document in pieces then?
 
 Thanks again for the help!
- 
				I think Adalbert's mother's name is Katharina geborene Ciesiotka or something along those lines.

				Just found another record.
 Adelbert (Adalbert) Wröbel died on the 29 March 1902. 28 Years old.
- 
				Excellent work, davecapps. 
 
 Er ... are you absolutely sure the mother's name is Christiane rather than Katharina?
 
 And 'am dritten' means 'on the third'.
- 
				Hi
 Thanks for pointing that out.! how right you are.
 It´s way past my bedtime :-[ :-[
 Yes am dritten means on the third
 Dave

				It´s way past my bedtime  And mine!
- 
				Wow, that's great everyone. Thank you!

				I have another original document on the death of Adalbert too, but it shows 29 March 1903. It's on a notice dated April 1, 1903 and it's record number 532. Also, I have a birth record for their son, Johann Wrobel, number 169 (I think), July 10, 1900. If you're willing, I would be glad to have these translated as well. I see I should've started translating these other two first, since the script is much easier to read.
 
 Also, looking over the previous marriage notice, could you spell out this section for me below? It seems to have the city name in it again, but don't see that in the translation.
 
 Thanks again!
- 
				Yes your right. It was definitely to late last night :o  :-\
 I made 3 mistakes.
 
 1. The first one was spotted by Forfarian - Katharina not Christiane (that was the copy and paste devil)
 
 2. Adalbert died on the 29 März 1903, document 532.
 
 3. The section you posted reads:
 
 Sohn des zu Szczury verstorbenen A? Arbeiters Anton Wröbel und dessen ehefrau Katharine geborene Ciesiotka, Wohnhaft in Hamburg
 Son of the ? labourer Anton Wröbel from Szczury and his wife Katharine born Ciesiotka
 
 Sorry. That will teach me not to do translations in the middle of the night :'(

				Thank you very much for your translation labors and further research info. Super neat stuff here!
 
 I have a question regarding the marriage certificate again (see below). Specifically, my question is about the second circled word. I didn't see it on the translation, but would this word mean that Franz lived in "Koschmin" or that he just worked there?
 
 Also, what do you think about this? There's that lonely "A" near the top of the certificate, but there's also another lower down. I think they're actually an "Ar,,", the first syllable of Arbeiters. I think the one near the top the registrar spelled Arbeiters wrong (Abeiter), then smeared out the "A" and went back and wrote "Ar,," on the previous line. I attached the images below for that too.
 
 Thanks again!
- 
				Oh, wait, I think it must mean that Franz died in Koschmin.
			
- 
				Yes, Franz died there. He could also have lived there.
 
 Yes again. It´s
 Ar-
 beiters
 
 in both cases

				Thank you

				Hello, I have another document that I would appreciate help in translating, if anyone is willing to post it. It regards the marriage of Wilhelmine Louise Lucht and Karl Otto Roch, Wedding Announcement #3. See portion of the document below. Thank you for any help!
			
- 
				1. I think the surname is Koch and not Roch.
 If you compare the first Letter of Karl and the wife´s maiden name König you´ll see the resemblance
 
 2. if you look at the second page of this marriage record you´ll see a witness named Reinhold Koch
 There you can see how the registrar would have written a R
