trying to find the grave of his paternal great-great-grandfather who died in 1952. Death certificates give place of death, but not place buried. No one in the immediate family seems to know, since there was some quarreling in the distant past. One person said Gedera. The man in charge of the Gedera cemetery told us that the books were a mess and some information totally lacking when he took over a few years ago. It was impossible to get through to the hevra kadisha of neighboring towns. Since my grandson is a persistent sabra, we hope that he will finally find the grave! Ida Dr. Joseph M.

I have a telephone number for them but I'm not sure of the prefix. The number is 972-2-538-4144. There is also available a burial record for everyone buried on the Mount of Olives >from 1760-1906. This is probably not a good source for you since your relative died after that date. |
