July is usually a slow month because of the annual genealogy
conference, the preparations leading up to the conference, and the
post-conference vacations. But in July we hit a milestone: we now
have 600 entries in the yizkor book project and 384 individual books.
In July we added three new books, four new entries, and eight updates.

New books:

-Gyor, Hungary
-Pinkas HaKehillot Romania, tables of contents for volumes 1 and 2.
This is a tremendously useful list of towns with variant spellings
compiled by Shalom Bronstein and Rosanne Leeson. Our thanks to
Shalom and Rosanne for doing this difficult task.
-Ten Years of the State of Israel,
