Marriage Register Entry Help

From Jean Weightman
The document is a copy of the Marriage Register Entry for my grandparents Rubin Singer and Cippe Sonnenschein.

I am trying to find any additional information about Rubin’s parents Hersch Ohling and Bruche Singer.

Column one has a few words between Hersch Ohling and Czernowitz that I do not understand but may explain Bruche’s position.

Also, there are three items in the Anmerkung column. I would be grateful if these could be translated.

I believe the note in Romanian across two columns explains that in 1927 Rubin changed his surname legally to Oling. If this note contains additional information, again I would be grateful for a translation.

I hope additional information from this and other documents will eventually help to clarify where Hersch and Bruche were born and when Hersch died.

Best wishes to all
Jean

Shelley Mitchell writes:
[…] I wish to see if any of our members can read the handwriting on this document next to the word uncle on the bottom. I believe this is the ship’s manifest from my paterbak grandfather’s (Michalowsky) arrival in 1906. It says he’s going to his uncle at 12 Monroe St. in Manhattan but for the life of me I can’t read his uncle’s name. All I have for him is his mother.

Fate of Rumanian Jewery During the Holocaust – 15 Vol.

From Marion Tauschwitz
[At] the Frankfurt Bookfair I talked to Beate Klarsfeld and her husband Serge. What an amazing couple. I was attracted by a series of books with hundreds and hundreds of “documents concerning of the fate of Rumanian Jewry during the Holocaust” – more than 15 volumes full of documents. Volume V is on the Bukowina and Transnistria.
