I want to take a moment to thank fellow genner Robert and the efforts of the Pittsburgh Jewish Cemetery Project for finding and sending me images of tombstones belonging to several family members buried at West View Cemetery in Pittsburgh. I had tried twice to deal directly with West View to 'purchase' these photos. Both times I was told they would be in the mail within days! Needless to say, I never received the photos. A while back I noticed a posting about the Pittsburgh Jewish cemetery project and wrote to Robert. Yesterday, he emailed me images of all the headstones.
Robert is a volunteer for the Pittsburgh Jewish cemetery project and tells me he and his wife have recorded about 3000 to 4000 tombstones in the last two years. They have more than 20,000 more tombstones to do in Pittsburgh and there are only four field volunteers for the project. (They also need
data entry clerks). If anyone is interested in volunteer information, please email me and I will forward your note on to Robert.
Robert's generousity reminded me that I needed to renew my annual Jewish Gen contribution, which I just did. I have received so much help >from this fabulous group, it seemed like a small way to say thanks. Keep the projects going and the research coming!
