I'm looking for the burial sites--just the cemetery name for now--for people who died in the 1950s and 1960s in NYC. To start with try the NY Times which is digital for a death notice. Sometimes searching by the name does not work so it may also help to look at the individual dates if you have them Try the online databases both for individual cemeteries and the collective ones like JOWBR and Find A Grave and JewishData. There are about a half dozen NYC cemeteries that have their own individual databases on their sites. Try other family members to see if they are buried in the same cemetery or a family plot. I don't personally recommend it but you can try phoning the major cemeteries to see if they have the internment you are looking for. If you know the area you sort of know which are the big ones and you can eliminate the ones that have databases. It is a bit laborious but you might get lucky and find the grave. Allan Jordan

This week's Yizkor book excerpt on the JewishGen Facebook Page
#general
Bruce Drake <BDrake@...>
Among the many famous rabbinical dynasties among the Jews of Europe was the "golden
chain" of the Izhbitza-Radzin Hasidic rabbis founded in 1839 by Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Lainer (sometimes transliterated as "Leiner"). "The Golden Chain," a chapter in the Yizkor book of Radzyn, Poland, tells the story of Shmuel Shlomo Lainer, the last of that line in Radzyn as the Nazis took over. Author Leib Rochman recounts the rabbi's call on the Jews of the town to flee into the forest to join the partisans, in order to carry the fight to the German. This is a stirring account of a heroic effort to spirit the rabbi to safety as the Gestapo sought to hunt him down, only to end in his death. Descendants of his later carried on the rabbinate in B'nei B'rak in Israel. Radzyn is about 40 miles north of Lublin, near Poland's borders with Belarus and Ukraine. In 1900, when it was still part of the Russian Empire, its Jewish population was 2,853. There is also a Kehilalinks site for the town: http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Radzyn_Podlaski/ Link: https://www.facebook.com/JewishGen.org/posts/1213534088668744:0 Short URL: http://bit.ly/2eioa4V Bruce Drake Silver Spring, MD.

All the Jewish cemeteries in the New York metropolitan area are listed on the website of the Jewish Genealogical Society (of New York) at www.jgsny.org. Go to Resources -> Regional Cemeteries. Links to searchable databases are included. You can also call most of them directly and inquire about burials. If you know the name of the burial society, you may search the Burial Societies Database to narrow down to those cemeteries where the society owned plots. Pretty much all these cemeteries were operating in the time period you are asking about. Steve Stein, JGS Executive Council / Webmaster Roger Lustig wrote:

In an earlier message about the joint SRRG - Gesher Galicia project
involving a set of Czortkow-area passport application records, we described one of the pieces of information in the record book as: - Stated "nationality" - where the categories include: Polish, Jewish, Russian, Greek Catholic, and Roman Catholic. The heading used in the "nationality". All the same, these descriptions are a mixture of nationalities and religious affiliations. The term "Russian", however, is incorrect. The Polish word "ruska", referring to and agreeing grammatically with "narodowosca", should have been translated as 'Ukrainian' or 'Ruthenian'. The section above should be rewritten more accurately as: - Stated nationality/religious affiliation - where the categories include: Polish, Jewish, Ukrainian (Ruthenian), Greek Catholic, and Roman Catholic.

Locating a Jewish cemetery in the greater Munich area
#germany
Steve Stein
I am looking for information regarding a child who was born and
unfortunately died after two days, to Holocaust survivor parents who were residing in the F=F6renwald DP camp in Wolfratshausen, Germany in October 1948. I recently received the certificate of death which states that the child was born and died in Munich. The death took place in the University Children's Hospital / Clinic on Lindwurmstrasse. However, no place of burial is listed. Assuming that I have the complete document, where might the child have been buried? I am new to German Jewish research so I really have no idea where a Jewish cemetery might be in either the Munich for Wolfratshausen area, and what condition it or its records might be in today. I also realize that headstones for deceased infants may no longer be extant, and if they are, may not be readable. This whole matter is very important to me. Thank you very much.
