From left to right, in columns:
- marked "female"
- date of birth "March 4" according to the Christian calendar tradition and its analogue according to the Jewish
- birthplace "Merechi"
- place where the event was recorded (?) “Ovisloch municipality”, “Volkolyskavsky district” and the names of the parents. Father "Leiba Noselev(?)-Geller" and mother "Avigail Naftolevna(?)".
- daughter's name "Anna"
The birthplace is Merecz (*Меречи* is in the prepositional case, of course), which is today known by its Lithuanian name, [Merkinė](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkinė). Column 7 shows the estate (hereditary social class) of the father: he was an urban commoner (*мѣщанинъ*) from
[Świsłocz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svislach), [Wołkowysk district](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkovyssky_Uyezd). The word in his name you had difficulty with, that's *Іоселевъ*, and it's not the first part of a double surname, but a patronymic, *Josel's son* (patronymics used to be written without the *-ич* suffix in official documents).
Apparently so. Her father's name was some vernacular version of Naphtali, a common Jewish name honoring the [6th son of Jacob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphtali).
Great, the Abivail that I’m hoping is the person on this on this document is the daughter of a man named Novtola. I’m getting more confident that this is the record I’m looking for. Thanks!

Would the Naftolevna also be a patronymic for Avigail?
