This is an answer to Carol Hoffman's mail, but I think it can be useful to all the genners. There is a site http://www.kizur.co.il/home.php (in Hebrew) very useful to understand the meaning of Rashei Tevot (abbreviations). It's easy to use, and I always find what I need.

From: Carol Hoffman saftacarol@gmail.com I'm hoping someone can help me with translating abbreviations I have found on tombstones in Lithuania. I have the abbreviations in Hebrew characters and can send the short list to anyone who might be able to help me with that. The challenge is not the dates but the abbreviations describing the person or his/her situation.
