3. One of the advantages of Jewish Data listings is that various record types display together in results. Here is an example: If we are looking for information on Alfred Decker, we find a tombstone with little information. It only states Alfred Decker 1871-1948. However, right below it, there is a listing for the same name from Who's Who in American Jewry, 1926. From here we gain much more information: First it tells us his birthday November 2, 1871 in Kirchheimboanden, Pfalz, Germany. His parents Were Abraham and Johanna. Back to the Decker listings, we see the tombstone for his parents which tells Abraham Decker was born December 8, 1826 in Gauesheim in der Rheinpfalz and died in Chicago on February 18, 1899, and Johanna's maiden name was Rueb, and she was born October 8, 1829 in Gau-Odernhan in Rheinhessen. She died on January 29, 1899.

The book listing continues to detail his education, names of companies he founded, and charities he supported.

1. Many new records from Chicago.
2. A special valuable book with Rabbi biographies.

3. Facebook.

1. A recent site update brings the number of Chicago images to over 86,000. Most of them are from the large Waldheim cemetery, but there are several other locations too. Quite a few of the Chicago tombstones have small pictures on them, and they are usually visible in the images. We expect to complete posting records from Waldheim this summer.
2. A Hebrew book with short Rabbbi biographies and snapshots has been posted. The book is called Anshei Shem, authored by Rabbis Shmuel Zarski and Moshe Dovid Schiff. It lists more than 100 famous Rabbis around the world who were alive in 1940. Many of the Rabbis are listed as living in European cities. Unfortunately, some of those Rabbis did not survive the Holocaust, and these biographies are one of their last records. All of the records have been indexed into English name listings.
Here is a translation of one listing:
The Rebbe of Koznitz- Rabbi Aaron Yechiel Haupstein, son of the Tzadik Rabbi Yerachmiel Moshe of blessed memory. Born is Koznitz in 1889, educated by his father, and later filled his father's position in 1909 as the Rebbe. Thousands of followers come to be near him. He is a staunch fighter for Torah and Judaism. He is a descendant great Rabbis and scholars of Koznitz, Galicia, Grodzik, Lizensk, Tshernoble, Rabbi Yakov of Przysucha , Karlin, Rabbi Yehoshu Heschel of Apt, and more. He lives in Otwack, Poland.
Information from this book can be combined with other records in the database. For example, a record for Rabbi Aaron Weintraub tells that he was born in Poland in 1906 and after serving as a Rabbi in Poland, moved to Israel in 1936. He is listed as a descendent of the famous Rabbi Yehoshua Falk, whose tombstone image from 1765, buried in Frankfurt Germany- is in the database.
