DNA Research #DNA Yizkor Book Project, March 2011 #dna

Shalom,

The Yizkor Book Project has slightly less to report this month - we simply
went >from extremely busy to very, very busy and there is certainly no reason
to be embarrassed about the level of activity of the project through March.
In fact, I continue to be encouraged by the great number of people who show
interest in the project and also take concrete steps to see translations
from that well of knowledge, the Yizkor Book, appear online in our site.
I'm pleased to announce that this past month saw the completion of a
translation of the Skuodas, Lithuania Yizkor Book through the determined and
energetic coordination of Aviva Tirosh. This project joins the some 70 books
that have been completely translated and on the horizon I see a number of
other such projects being completed in and this is solely due to the time
and effort placed in these projects by their coordinators.

Something else. A number of coordinators have asked us to add in Google
Analytics coding so that they can keep a track of the visits to their
projects. If this interests you and you are the coordinator of a particular
project, please let me know and we'll help include this option in your
project.

Now to the March figures. During this last month we have added these 5 new

Please remember that all this month's additions and updates have been
flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy
to find them.

Whilst I remember and just in case we don't get to "speak" before then - I
would like to wish all the good people connected with the Yizkor Book
Project and those in potential (i.e. everyone!) a very enjoyable and very
memorable Pesach-Passover.

Wishing you all the best,
