Greetings all,

As promised, I am notifying everyone that the fourth in a series of five new
searchable cemetery databases is now online. The cemetery is Mt. Ararat
Cemetery. It is located in Lindenhurst, Suffolk County, New York, though its
mailing address is in Farmingdale. The cemetery (founded in 1929, first
burial 1933) contains more than 45,000 burials but no society plots. This
means that using the www.jgsny.org database in order to locate a particular
landsmanshaft plot will not be useful for this cemetery.

You can search by first name, surname, date of death (not date of burial),
section number, range number, and lot number. The results for each
individual search are still limited to 200 entries and are displayed
alphabetically, e.g. if you just search using the surname COHEN, you will
get the first two hundred entries of a total of six-hundred and fifty COHEN
entries in their database. The first entry is Aaron COHEN, and the last is
Frieda COHEN. If you know no other pertinent information about the deceased
other than their first and last names, and use are looking for a COHEN whose
first name begins with a letter further down in the alphabet, you can use
their first name and surname to find who you're looking for. Or you can,
e.g, enter COHEN into the last name field, and then, plug in the letters J
through Z individually in the first name field, to find who you're looking
for.

The URL for the Mt. Ararat Cemetery site is www.mountararatcemetery.com .
The last in a series of five searchable cemetery databases will be for Mt.
Judah in Ridgewood, Queens, New York, though I wouldn't count on this site
being online for at least a couple of months. I will, of course, spread the
word once this database is online. I know of no other cemetery that has
plans to create a searchable database for their burials.

The first three searchable cemetery databases in this series that were
created are:
Mt. Hebron Cemetery (Flushing, Queens, New York):
www.mounthebroncemetery.com
Mt. Carmel Cemetery (Ridgewood, Queens, New York):
www.mountcarmelcemetery.com
Mt. Zion Cemetery (Maspeth, Queens, New York): www.mountzioncemetery.com
Also, another searchable cemetery database (but not part of this series):
Mt. Moriah Cemetery (Fairview, New Jersey):
www.mountmoriahcemeteryofnewjersey.org

Please remember that within the Cemetery Project section of my own website
(www.museumoffamilyhistory.com), there exists a cemetery directory, with
cemetery contact information, as well as nearly one-hundred maps of
forty-five cemeteries that are located in New York, New Jersey, South
Florida, Chicago, Los Angeles and Montreal. There is more than this, so you
should check the table of contents on the Site Map page for information on
other content that might be of interest to you.

Hello Everyone,

This is a slightly different version of a message I posted on the JewishGen
message board. It has been suggested that I post it here as well.

I have on loan, at the Eatontown, New Jersey, Family History Center, the
following microfilm rolls containing Jewish birth, marriage and death
records for Lomza:


0747709: B 1827-1838, M 1827-1833, 1836-1838, D 1827-1834, 1836-1838
0747710: B 1839-1842, M 1839-1853, D 1839-1845
0747711: B 1848-1858, D 1846-1852
0747712: D 1852-1864, M 1854-1862
0747713: B 1859-1864
0747714: B 1865, M 1863-1865, D 1865
1199530: B 1865-1869, M 1867, D 1866-1867
1199531: B 1869-1872, M,D 1868-1870
1199532: B 1873, D 1869-1873, M 1871,1873
1191362: B,M,D 1876-1877, 1880
1618507: B 1880-1885, M 1881, 1883-1884, D 1881-1884
1618508: B,M 1885-1886, D 1882-1886

These microfilm rolls will be there until approximately October 13, 2006,
and I will probably be making the loan permanent before then.

These microfilm rolls are, of course, available to anyone who wants to go
to the Family History Center in Eatontown to use them. However, if anyone
would like me to look up a particular record or records, and email you a
copy, I would be happy to try.

Just note, other than being able to distinguish between the different types
of records, and being able to pick out names, I cannot read Polish or
Russian, so you will have to provide specifics >from the JRI-Poland database
- name, year, type of record, and Akt number - for me to be able to locate
the record you want.

At the FHC I have been scanning records to my USB flash drive, so so far I
have not had to pay the 25 cents a page copying charge. I expect that
procedure will continue.

If you'd like me to look for records for you, please respond to me privately
at the email address shown below.

Greetings all,

As promised, I am notifying everyone that the fourth in a series of five new
searchable cemetery databases is now online. The cemetery is Mt. Ararat
Cemetery. It is located in Lindenhurst, Suffolk County, New York, though its
mailing address is in Farmingdale. The cemetery (founded in 1929, first
burial 1933) contains more than 45,000 burials but no society plots. This
means that using the www.jgsny.org database in order to locate a particular
landsmanshaft plot will not be useful for this cemetery.

You can search by first name, surname, date of death (not date of burial),
section number, range number, and lot number. The results for each
individual search are still limited to 200 entries and are displayed
alphabetically, e.g. if you just search using the surname COHEN, you will
get the first two hundred entries of a total of six-hundred and fifty COHEN
entries in their database. The first entry is Aaron COHEN, and the last is
Frieda COHEN. If you know no other pertinent information about the deceased
other than their first and last names, and use are looking for a COHEN whose
first name begins with a letter further down in the alphabet, you can use
their first name and surname to find who you're looking for. Or you can,
e.g, enter COHEN into the last name field, and then, plug in the letters J
through Z individually in the first name field, to find who you're looking
for.

The URL for the Mt. Ararat Cemetery site is www.mountararatcemetery.com

The last in a series of five searchable cemetery databases will be for Mt.
Judah in Ridgewood, Queens, New York, though I wouldn't count on this site
being online for at least a couple of months. I will, of course, spread the
word once this database is online. I know of no other cemetery that has
plans to create a searchable database for their burials.

The first three searchable cemetery databases in this series that were
created are:
Mt. Hebron Cemetery (Flushing, Queens, New York):
www.mounthebroncemetery.com
Mt. Carmel Cemetery (Ridgewood, Queens, New York):
www.mountcarmelcemetery.com
Mt. Zion Cemetery (Maspeth, Queens, New York): www.mountzioncemetery.com
Also, another searchable cemetery database (but not part of this series):
Mt. Moriah Cemetery (Fairview, New Jersey):
www.mountmoriahcemeteryofnewjersey.org

Please remember that within the Cemetery Project section of my own website
(www.museumoffamilyhistory.com), there exists a cemetery directory, with
cemetery contact information, as well as nearly one-hundred maps of
forty-five cemeteries that are located in New York, New Jersey, South
Florida, Chicago, Los Angeles and Montreal. There is more than this, so you
should check the table of contents on the Site Map page for information on
other content that might be of interest to you.
Happy hunting!

Please note I have commercial interest in this. I just suggested it to the

I think that genealogists in different parts of the world should approach
their local Jewish weekly and see if they are prepared to do the same. This
Could be of enormous help in tracing present-day descendants.

Hi,

I've been trying -- and failing -- to get a birth certificate for my
relative out of NYC dept of health and mental hygiene. The certificate
is for my great grandparents' daughter, who was born in Brooklyn.

The first time I sent the request, it was returned with a standard form
which seemed to indicate that they wanted to see a copy of my photo ID
(although it was unclear -- the form listed many reasons for rejection,
two of which were checked with some text highlighted).

The second time, I included a copy of my ID, but all my paperwork was
sent back in my addressed envelope with no explanation at all! The only
clue, if it can be called that, is the scrawled number "15" in the
"office use only" bit of the request form.

Each time I had included everything they'd asked for: the form itself,
a cheque in US dollars drawn on a US bank, a copy of her death
certificate, a pound of flesh...

Can anyone give me some advice on how to proceed?

Many thanks
