These seem to be Jewish surnames. There are less than 100 Gimpels in Poland but none in the Zamość or Lublin areas. There is a single person named Kastell (with 2 Ls), but no-one using the Zypman spelling. Could it have been Schiffman/Szyfman?

Keeping in mind Polonius3's post: it might be worth going to JewishGen where you can do a name search.

HI

Thanks for the answer

It could well be Szyfman. I cant seem to find any information about these names.

Is there a way of finding out the addresses Kastell and Gimpel.

Also how can I get a copy birth or death certificate of my grandparents If there is one. I have tried JewishGen name search but need more info to connect the names.

Thanks
