Several months ago I announced that the 6,521 (see note below)
Montreal burials at the Back River Memorial Gardens Cemetery were
online at JOWBR (http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/cemetery/).

Last week, an update to these records was submitted and the entire
Baron de Hirsch (de la Savane) cemetery has been added. In total,
there are 52,200 burials >from about 1889 until 2006.

The data was submitted by the Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal
and is based on the cemeteries' official records. The JGS-M is
extremely grateful to the cemetery management for their support of
this project.

Although I am not privy to what other data is currently in the
pipeline, based on current records, 52,200 is more than the number of
records for any other single city or geographic region.

Hopefully, the data will be live on JOWBR by the conference in August.

Note: There are now 6578 burials listed in the Back River Cemetery.
This includes a number of Hebrew-only stones that we have now
translated, new burials since the original data was received, and the
deletion of eight records for plots that would have been in the space
occupied by a small walkway. They were previously listed as being the
burial locations for "Chemin CHEMIN" (a rather uncommon Jewish name).
For those who don't speak French, I suggest checking a dictionary. ;-)

Several EPSTEINs have joined in a Family Tree DNA JewishGen surname project.
Painless mouth swab genetic testing procedures are being used as a promising
tool for breaking through our genealogical brick walls. It might help you
to greatly expand your family tree, and may also help our surname project.

To the best of our knowledge, the EPPSTEINs emerged in Germany in the early
15th century. By the late 19th century, the surname was prominent in and near
what is now Belarus, and moderately present elsewhere in eastern and central
Europe. JRI-Poland lists about 1,000 Epstein entries for Galicia (out of about 4,000
for the whole database), making it a moderately popular Galician surname. It is
reasonable to assume that many Epsteins in the Russian Empire, especially in
Byelorussia, adopted the surname in the early 19th century or changed to it later
to avoid the draft. It is also likely that Epsteins in Galicia probably held that
surname for several centuries. Y-DNA testing will hopefully shed light on this issue.

We have identified members of one paternal lineage that has borne the
Epstein surname for several centuries. There are hints of another old line.
Most of the project's current members, however, are patrilineally unrelated
to each other. In addition, most of us have discovered patrilineal
relationships to men whose surnames are not EPSTEIN. Most of us trace
our ancestry to eastern Europe, and only two to Germany.

We are working on identifying the various branches of our principal cluster,
on exploring additional clusters, and on connecting our unrelated
members to cousins. To accomplish these goals and to create as broad
a search as possible, we need more male Epsteins to contribute a
cheek swab as a DNA sample. If you are female EPSTEIN or an EPSTEIN
through female ancestors, a sample >from an EPSTEIN male relative can
represent your family in the test. If you are not an EPSTEIN, please share
this message with EPSTEINs who may want to participate in this project.

To join, go to http://tinyurl.com/nyh6z
The basic, and most affordable, twelve marker test will indicate to whom
you are probably related. The more advanced tests could help to identify
closer and more certain relationships. You can start with the 12 marker test
and add to it at a later date, using the same sample.

More information about DNA testing and JewishGen's involvement in it
can be found at http://www.jewishgen.org/dna/

If you have any questions, please contact Marsha Epstein, our project's
volunteer administrator at epsteindna_admin@earthlink.net

Hi,
I have never heard of such a society, but the word DESFARDIN does
have a familiar sound especially when read in a Hebrew accent:
I suggest hyphenating it as following - DE - SFARD - IN
SFARD is the traditional service variant of the Polish Jews and of
many hassidic courts.
IN is the plural form in Aramaic.
DE is a suffix added in Aramaic to state that the person, or object
mentioned by the previous word belongs to, or is a member of, or is
possessed by this word.

So, DESFARDIN translates to a member of a society of people of a
Sfaradic origin.

Allon.

Hi Dara,

even, if Moderator wish privat replies, I try to post it
public, since I think, not many people are aware of
the following site.

do zou know about the http://globus.tut.by site?
It is in russian, but is quite easy to navigate, and
has a huge collection about most of stetls and citys
of today belarus. Some of the citys have even fotos
of synagogues and jewish cemeteries. The purpose of
the site is to have a community travel guide - basicly
everyone can submit their their pictures.
