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.

2. More than 8,000 records have been posted from Montreal, Canada- Baron De Hirsch on Savane St. This location is the largest Jewish cemetery in Montreal and to date, there are more than 19,000 records from this location already posted in the database. These records are an excellent source for anyone who has roots in Canada.There is also a helpful office on the premises which would assist anyone requesting to find a monument.
