Memorial Plaques Database Grows to 169,000 Records. Please help us grow! #sephardic
JewishGen is proud to announce its 2017 year-end update for the Memorial
Plaques Database (MPD). The MPD database can be accessed at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Memorial/ The MPD database includes the data >from plaques and Yizkor lists >from synagogue and other organizations. Many of these sources include patronymic information. This update added approximately 12,000 records and 1,800 photos >from 11 synagogues in the United States, Hungary and Tunisia. This update brings the Memorial Plaques holdings to 169,000 records and 117,000 photos from approximately 260 synagogues / institutions representing 11 countries. We believe that the MPD is a good example of how users of JewishGen's databases can "give back". If you are a member of a synagogue or other organization with memorial plaques or Yizkor lists, please consider helping us to grow this database. You can find more information on submitting data at http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Memorial/Submit.htm If you have additional questions, please contact me directly. For a complete listing of the institutions currently in the database, please see http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Memorial/tree/MemList.htm Nolan Altman NAltman@...
