The Jewish Cemetery on Shoemaker Rd. in Dalton, PA has been posted. The database includes more than 4,000 images ranging from the years 1916- 2006. These are the first records posted from Pennsylvania 2. An addition of a record batch from Washington cemetery on McDonald Ave. in Brooklyn, brings the total of more than 20,000 images from there. This worn out Jewish cemetery was founded in 1867, and we are glad to make these old images available to the public. 3. Another location from Ozone Park, NY has been added to the database. It is called the Bayside Jewish cemetery. So far, more than 5,000 images are posted from this location and we expect to receive more. 4. The 12,000 records and images recently posted from Mt. of Olives, Har Menuchos, both in Jerusalem, and Tiberias Israel, all in Hebrew- have been carefully indexed into English and are easily searchable. All of the images from Israel are flat, and mostly large monuments. Some of the monuments record the person's city and country of origin. For example, a Mt. of Olives monument for Avraham Eliezer Lippman from 1895, states that he came from Warsaw. A search, for example for the name Goldstein, will now display records from Israel alongside records from NJ, NY, MA, PA, Canada, and Germany. 5. If your membership has lapsed, you are invited to check the site again and you will probably be pleasantly surprised to find more records that interest you. .
