Dear Group, Perhaps someone can offer me some guidance. I am a novice
when it comes to Canadian Research. I am looking for detail on Nissin
Yokel SCHWARTZ (aka Shwarz or Svartz), born in "Russia". He came to Canada
around 1948 as a widower. His late wife, Sarah Haimovici (c1880 - 1935),
was >from Botosani, Romania. Nissin passed away in 1962 and his final
resting place is Saint-Sophie, QC. I have a picture of his tombstone and
it does list his father as Yakov. How can I learn more about Nissin,
his ancestry and where he is >from in "Russia"?

Dear Researchers,

You may see the list of Jewish cemeteries in Bessarabia/Moldova at the
Bessarabia SIG Website, Cemetery section:
http://www.jewishgen.org/Bessarabia/Cemetery.html

The JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR) has now index or/and
photos for 28 cemeteries in our region with total of 38,055 burials.

Here is our progress for two month, since my last cemetery progress report:

We have completed in November and December indexing/photographing of four
cemeteries:
*Rezina New Jewish Cemetery, Moldova;
*Ungheni Jewish Cemetery, Moldova;
*Grigoriopol Jewish Cemetery (Moldova, Transnistria, used to be part of
Kherson Gubernia);
*Capresti Jewish Cemetery, Moldova.
You can already find Cemetery reports >from these cemeteries and also list of
Unknown graves. Records >from first two cemeteries are now already uploaded
to JOWBR, and other two will become available in 2016.

Here is where we are with many other cemeteries:

-Ataki - photographed what was possible. There are some parts of the
cemetery in the woods. Before making photos, the sections should be cleaned
up. Maybe someone can organize such effort. Of course some additional
money will have to be collected. That work is outside of scope of
JewishGen. Please email me if you would like to participate.
The translation is in progress.

-Beltsy - did not receive yet promised photos.
-Bessarabka - translation is in progress.

-Brichani - hope be completed in February of 2016.

-Camenca - in progress, plan to finish this month.
-Dubossary Old - in progress.
-Ganshehti - was photographed, but part of the cemetery is not accessible.

-Kishinev Jewish - received almost 800 photos, we have now total of 1,400
images.
-Leovo - translation started.
-Lipkani - be completed in Spring of 2016

-Markuleshti - in progress.
-Rashkov - part was photographed, need donations to photograph the whole
cemetery.
-Rezina Old - in progress.
-Rybnitsa Old - the translation is in progress.
-Strasheni - not yet photographed, but it is our plan.

-Belgorod-Dnestrovskiy (Akkerman), received donation of 115 photos, and more
will come soon.
-Lyublin, (Nemorivka), received several photos of all of remains at the
cemetery - IF ANYONE has photos, or names of people who were buried at
that cemetery, please share with the group
-Dumbroveni, also have a few photos >from all what remains at the cemetery
now - if YOU HAVE any photos >from that cemetery and know people who were
buried there, please let me know

As I pointed many times, the cemetery projects are very important and
urgent. The monuments disappear, the inscriptions became less readable as
we speak, most of the cemeteries do not have any caretakers. If we will not
at least preserve the tombstones in the photographs, in 20 years, there will
not much to see, visit and put stones on.

We need your donations to pay for photos.
We need your help in translation >from Russian and Hebrew.
We need your help in organizing a new cemetery project.
If you know about a cemetery, which is NOT on our list (see above the link),
please let us know about it.

If the cemetery you are interested was not yet photographed or/and indexed,
you can initiate a new project by collecting about 30% of the cost. Email me
if you are interested. If you would like to get a whole list of people
buried in a cemetery - for donation of $100 to Bessarabia-Moldova Cemetery
Project, we will send you the whole list when it is done , before the list
is available at JOWBR.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Is there someone in the group who can read German script? I have a couple
of handwritten sentences in script on the back of what looks like a family
crest and I am curious as to what it says. Also, I have some sort of a
certificate >from the late 1800's, >from the USA but written in German, and I was
wondering if someone could please take a look and tell me what it is.
Please respond privately to REDBALL62@aol.com

Shalom,

Without really noticing, the year 2015 has whooshed past and the first days
of the new year are here. As always, it is appropriate to reflect on what
has been achieved in the last year and look forward to continuing where we
left off and set our sights on new important challenges in 2016.

If we are to summarize the achievements of the Yizkor Book Project over
2015, we see that:

- the total number of projects is now 842
- the total number of entries is now 2042
- an average of 23 existing projects were updated each month
- 11 new books published by the Yizkor Books in Print Project

As you can imagine, behind these dry facts a great deal of activity is
involved and quite a deal of burning the midnight oil by tens of volunteers
worldwide. Quite remarkable really and definitely heartwarming - all these
people donating their free time in various corners of the world contributing
to a common goal of seeing translations of the Yizkor books being made
available to a wide as possible audience.

Together with the volunteer work, there are quite a number of professional
translators laboring on the converting of the difficult Hebrew and Yiddish
articles into a very readable English (and other languages). Of course,
these professionals receive payment for their work via the Yizkor Book
Translation Funds that we set up for individual books to raise money for
this lofty goal. Just this past month, yet another such fund was set up for
the community of Kiliya, Ukraine - "Kiliya: Book of Testimony and Memory"
which joins the impressive list of such projects at:
http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23
This and the other funds appearing there are there requesting your
involvement, your financial support to help make the translation of these
wonderful sources of our lost communities, a reality and so please consider
how you might be able to assist in this meaningful effort.

And now for the changes and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor
