Re: Family roots in Daroca, Spain

If you search here for "Benbassat," you will find matches in Cyrillic and Latin characters in Bulgarian directories (also, Poland and Mandate Palestine). Unfortunately, we have extremely limited coverage of Spain, currently, and nothing from the 13th-15th centuries.

You are unlikely to find a place of birth on this site, but searching for rachwalowski reveals places in the former Grodno Gubernia where several people with this surname lived.

Re: 1948 Polish Medical Yearbook

The first number is the year of birth, the second is the year the person received the appropriate degree.

The heading at the top of the page indicates the type of medical professional listed.
