Re: Piliver Podolier society #usa

I have some family buried in Mount Lebanon in one of the Piliver Podolier sections. Here's what I've learned.

Mount Lebanon Cemetery has its own website with a pretty good search function which allows you to specify the "society".
https://www.mountlebanoncemetery.com/search/
And the results include basic information plus the grave location, but not photos.  

FindaGrave has 93K memorials recorded at Mt. Lebanon but only 13% photographed  (and >1600 open photo requests).  There is an option under Plot to specify Piliver Podolier but it finds only 12 records.

Renee Steinig put me onto JewishData.com, a paid genealogy service, which has photos from some cemeteries – including Mount Lebanon – not available elsewhere.  You can search their database to see if they may have records for your family members – but not see the photos or records –  before deciding whether you want to go further.  There is a short-term account available and some JGS memberships include with JewishData access.  The organization of database is a bit idiosyncratic and it can take a bit of poking around to find what you want.  For instance, I couldn't find one relative until I left out the documented death date because it wasn't included in the JewishData record.  And the data provided – aside from the photos – is less than spare, so you'll need to check the above sources to get a more complete record for the burial.  

I hope this is useful,
