Focused on records posted at http://www.jewishdata.com/
1, Many new records from Brooklyn, NY
.2. New entries from Israel.
3. Many records edited.
4. Several responses we received.
1. More than 20,000 new records have been posted from Washington Cemetery inBrooklyn NY. So far, there are now more than 52,000 indexed images from thislocation. This Jewish cemetery has been in use since 1867, and in the nearfuture we plan to complete the work of imaging and documenting this entireJewish cemetery.
2. Several thousand record listings have been entered for Hebrew tombstoneimages from the famous Mt. of Olives in Jerusalem. One will notice that allthe tombstones are flat, and many contain information on which European City the person emigrated from. To date, 1,320 images have been indexed, and theproject will continue. More indexing has been worked on from Har Menuchos inJerusalem, of which 5,100 of the 6,000 images are now searchable.
3. Records from the following locations have recently been edited to includemany of the Hebrew only, or difficult to read monuments. Mt. Olive from LosAngeles, CA- 1,262 records, and Jewish cemeteries in Milwaukee WI- 6,219.
4. Here are some of the responses we received in connection to the articlein issue 27 called "Talking stones?" which is reprinted below..
Maury Kitces: Let me tell what has happened today - since I rejoined.First some background.My distant cousin Ethel was named for an aunt of hers who had "died inchildbirth". She knew nothing else about this woman, not even her marriedname. She always wanted to know more about her, and where she was buried.About 10 years ago my cousin found a letter that was written to her aunt byher (unknown) uncle, and it was signed "Louis". So now we were looking forLouis and Ethel, married between 1930 (when she left Montreal) and 1937 whenmy cousin was born. With much work, we located the marriage record of LouisCohen and Ethel Dunsky (1 Oct 1933 in Brooklyn). We have been searching allof the available government records for Ethel Cohen without success foryears.This morning, I looked for Ethel Cohen in your database, and there it was,the tombstone that my cousin has been looking for 30 years or more!Ethel Cohen, bat Chaim, died Feb 1935, age 26. I emailed my cousin, whoimmediately went to the cemetery, where she found the records that showedshe was buried with a stillborn baby. Here is what she wrote back to methis evening."You are fantastic. Truly fantastic. Thank you so much for uncoveringEthel Cohen's whereabouts. When I received your message this morning, Inoticed that her father was listed as Chaim, and when I called the cemeterythey said she was buried with a stillborn baby. Donald and I immediatelydrove to the cemetery in Elmont, NY and visited the gravesite. It is such arelief to have found Ethel, and I will be indebted to you forever."So, if anyone else asks "What value can there be in old stones standing openin the field?" Now you have an answer.Mary Miller: Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the tombstone photos.Wehave tried many times to get information about the burial of my greatgrandmother. I have come upon your site and found not only her tombstone,but her parents as well. Again, these are wonderful images which help toconfirm the family heritage as I have been recording it! With birthdates,death dates, family relationships...they are invaluable, not to mention veryspecial to have when I am so far away and cannot make the trip myself.
Margaret Levine: Thank you for identifying the graves of my maternalgreat-grandparents,Louis and Jane Levi Wolfe. It is amazing to have the online photos! I wasalso able to get a copy of census data on their household in Syracuse fromthe American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, another excellent resource.
Talking Stones?Some people wonder about the great efforts by the staff ofhttp://www.jewishdata.com/ to photograph entire Jewish cemeteries around the world,and then index and post them at the site. It seems more popular to searchfor official Government records in basement State archives for birth,marriage, census, and death records. But stones? What value can there be inold stones standing open in the field?To this we offer a response: The value of any individual record is bestmeasured by the information it provides. One particular can lead to moreinformation which can help form a full picture about the life of the targetperson and their descendents. Every record is certainly unique and deservescareful examination. Let us consider and compare the information offered bya tombstone image vs. a regular record such as a birth or census record. Thedocument may record report a single detail, for example - Joseph Cohen livedat 245 Main St. and came from Russia in 1886. A tombstone image typicallyprovides a basic record on the person- his or her birthdate, father's name,date of death, Jewish name, words indicating where he or she was a parent orgrandparent. Occasionally the image of the stone may record the person'scountry and city of origin, their occupation, and their majoraccomplishments on this earth. Is there any other record that provides somuch information in one image?When considering the value and validity of each record, one willinquire -who created the record? In the case of a Government record, it isdifficult to know who was the source. Perhaps a Government official justasked a few questions without taking the time to make sure they understandthe answers correctly. Sometime census volunteers justified writing entriesbased on a neighbor's word. A monument however, was inscribed in stone bychoice words provided by close loving family members who also paid for theinscription. Knowing this will cause us to not overlook any subtle hint theymay have intended to convey to us in their carved words.As to the fact that the monuments seems too easy to access compared torestricted Government archives, we may suggest: G-D Almighty in his infinitewisdom, created the world in a manner that essentials such as air and waterare plentiful, and readily available at no charge. In a similar vein:tombstone records, precisely because they are so essential for genealogyresearch- they are open in the fields waiting for any visitor to find themand appreciate the information they are telling. At Jewish Data we aretrying to capture the maximum number of images before the stones fade bynatural or sometimes unfortunately un-natural causes. The small fee athttp://www.jewishdata.com/ is only for the convenience of viewing records quicklyand comfortably, while sparing the time and money it would require to travelaround the world. If at least some of these points are correct, we are leadto the conclusion that tombstones are records in stone which speak louderthan documents alone.

Focused on records posted at http://www.jewishdata.com/
1. New records from Oregon.
2. More records from Brooklyn, NY- Washington Cemetery.
3. A member who used the database to trace back hundreds of years
.4. Thank you to all members.
1. We are pleased to announce the arrival of records from the State of Oregon. The Waverly Jewish cemetery in Albany, Oregon is now at the site. While it is a small Jewish cemetery, all monuments have been posted. The oldest monument is for Albany Sarah Rosenthal in 1878. Some of the Early families are: Joseph, Rosenthal, Senders, and Sternberg. Some of the monuments tell where the immigrants came from, such as Lena May Senders (1837-1901) from Frensdor Bavaria, Leon Senders (1833-1904) from Bosen Germany, Aaron Senders (1835- 1896) from Bosen Germany, Sophia Joseph (1836-1903) from France, Lewis Kline (1828-1900) from Kalish Polen, Adeline L. Kline (1832-1899) from Kourland Russia. Special thanks to Lisa Williams for sending us the images and data.
2. The most recently posted batch of records from Washington cemetery in Brooklyn contains more than 4,000 tombstone images. During processing, one record happened to attract our attention, at is read Louis Blumenthal 1876-1912 "who fearlessly sacrificed his life for the love of his friends. Peace be unto him". A quick google search for Louis Blumenthal 1912, retrieved a NY Times free archive story telling that he was a blacksmith who was scheduled to testify against a group of horse poisoners on the East Side. Apparently the group first tried to extort him for money, and after refusing, they firebombed his house. Knowing that he was about to testify against the leader, Charles Vitusky, they sent a hit man to murder Blumenthal in front of his friends.Ultimately, Vitusky was convicted by previous testimony Louis Blumenthal had given.
3. Micheal Moritz wrote this: " I must say that your site has helped me begin to solve a family mystery and view grandparents in a cemetery in Brooklyn, and then look at the graves of ancestors from 500 years ago in Frankfurt, Germany. I absolutely commend the hard work, and hope that more cemeteries will be available in the future!"

4. Talking stones?
1. More than 8,000 additional images have been posted from WashingtonCemetery in Brooklyn. This brings the total number of more than 38,000records from this location. We have received thankful messages from severalmembers who happily discovered and viewed at Jewish Data- old tombstoneimages for relatives interred at this large Brooklyn cemetery. Thisoccurred after inquiring at the Cemetery office and being assured that norecords or tombstones exist for the names they asked about.
2. Our editors have carefully worked on thousands of records from Newark NJ,Dalton PA, Linden Hill Long Island, Milwaukee WI. These records were eitherdifficult to read or are in Hebrew, both of which are reasons to requireextra attention. These records are now searchable and accessible This isanother reason to suggest periodically using the search engine to conductsearches on names that previously came up fruitless.
.3. As we strive to present a variety of records, including information rich- Declaration of Intention dicuments, we have started a new time -consuming inititave for which we will appreciatte member feedback to judge it's effectivenes. Declaration documents record the applicant's heigh,weight, date and place of birth, and other details. Being that many of thesedocuments are for common Jewish names, without a year recorded in the index,it is difficult to know if the listing for Louis Bernstein, for example- isthe one you are looking for. To solve this we started entering in the notesfield- the city and country he applicant was born in. In this case- you willnow see three documents for Louis Bernstein- one from Minsk, one fromElizabethgrad, and the third- from Kiev. This information my helpresearches decide which record to select.

3. The latest batch of 9,000 records brings a total of 29,000 images fromthis Brooklyn Jewish cemetery. The oldest monuments are from the 1880's. Anumber of them state the person's birthplace, for example: Tobias Hecht (1811-1896) fromRuppertshofen, Germany, Sette Hecht (1827-1911) from Bartsadt, Germany, Abraham Goldsmith (1810-1885) fromNesselroeden, Germany, and Louis Tubachnick (1858- 1899) from Nemirov,Russia. Some of the images have large office buildings in the background,making this location recognizable.The records from this location are a great information resource. Here is apartial list of family names which have at least 5 records, excluding themost common Jewish names, and as a sample, only names beginning with the letters A, B,and Z: Ackerman, Ainbinder, Albert, Albstein, Alexander, Alper, Alperstein,Alpert, Alter, Altholtz, Amdur, Anderson, Appel, ppelbaum, Asch, Ascher,Aschner, Ash, Asher, Ashkenas, Baer, Baird, Baker, Ball, Barash, Bard,Barkan, Barnett, Barofsky, Baron, Baronsky, Baschkopf, Baskind, Bass, Bauer,Bauman, Becher, Beck, Beecher, Beer, Bell, Bellick, Bergida, Berliner, Bern,Bernard, Bero, Bettleman, Beltz, Bienstock, Bierman, Binder, Blakeman,Blank, Blanket, Blatt, Blattberg, Bleetstein, Blutstein, Bock, Bogursky,Botwinick, Brand, Braunn, Braverman, Bresack, Brill, Brody, Brook, Brooks,Brown, Buchbinder, Buchholtz, Zaretsky, Zeiger, Zeiflin, Zelenko,Zelevansky, Zellr, Zeltser, Zhavtis, Zinner, Zorn, Zucker, Zuckerberg,Zweigenhaft, Zwerin, Zwerling, and Zwick.

1. More records posted from Ridgewood, NY.
2. A large batch of 8,000 records from Montreal has been added to the database.
1. A folder of 1,800 images was added last week from Ridgewood, NY- Linden Hill, on Metropolitan Ave. This brings the number of records from Linden Hill to more than 5,000. Here is a list of family names from this location with at least 10 records (excluding the most common Jewish family names) :Alsberg, Auerbach, Basch, Bauer, Bauman, Beck, Bleir, Bloch, Bondy, Bullowa, Eckstein, Fischer Fishel, Flashner, Fluegelman, Fox, Frank, Frankel, Froehlich, Fuld, Haas, Hahn, Herzig, Hirsch, Kind, Klauber, Lambert, Lederer, Lefler, Loebl, Mahler, Nathan, Neuberger, Offner, Palitz, Pick, Pollack, Popper, Potosky, Propper, Raisler, Rosenheim, Rown, Sabath, Schwartzkopf, Shaw, Simm, Sandheim, Spitzer, Stark, Steiner, Stiner, Tanzer, Weil, Weisburg, Weisel, Weisl, Zandek, and Zeimer. Judging from the family names, it is obvious that many of the families arrived from Germany.
