BIALYGen, the Bialystok Region Jewish Genealogy Group, has developed a relationship with The Bialystoker Center in New York City. BIALYGen has borrowed over 5,000 Yahrzeit cards >from the Center and is in the process of scanning these cards. Using the digital images, volunteers will create an Excel database, which will be submitted to JewishGen and be available for everyone to search. Many of these cards have 3 or 4 generations of the family listed including the married names of daughter and sisters. Please read about this project at http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/bialygen/YahrzeitCards.htm . As the moderator stated, anyone can start a project and such projects could have great genealogical value. Mark Halpern BIALYGen Coordinator http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/bialygen/homepage.htm

Dear One and All: There is an untapped resource hanging around out there. I am talking about memorial plaques hanging on the walls in the synagogues. Especially older ones where first and second generation immigrants had a plaque made of their loved one who died in Europe. So what do you think?? All the best, Jay Lenefsky -Israel
