Joyce Field
JewishGen is pleased to announce that the JewishGen Online Worldwide
Burial Registry (JOWBR) has now reached a milestone. With the current quarterly update, this searchable database exceeds one million records! We have been able to accomplish this feat because of donations of data and photographs >from hundreds of individuals and organizations. We also want to thank the translators who assisted by translating the inscriptions on photographs of matzevot and entering the data into our template. In addition, as many of you know, JOWBR could not function without Nolan Altman, Max Heffler, Michael Tobias, and Warren Blatt. Following are the number of records added to each country in the past quarter. There are too many cemeteries and landsmanschaft plots covered in this update to enumerate. The total number of cemeteries in JOWBR is now 1,929, and total number of burials is 1,006,675. New burial records by country follow: Belarus: 392 Canada: 15,993 Germany: 1,214 Hungary: 28 India: 104 Moldova: 3,410 Romania: 246 Ukraine: 968 USA: 10,074 As you travel this year and visit ancestral towns or towns in your current country of residence, please consider recording data >from the Jewish cemeteries and/or photographing all the tombstones in the cemetery or landsmanschaft plot for JOWBR.

How do I correct information in the database? For Fanny Ruthfield buried in
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Knights of Zaslav cemetery in Everett Massachusetts it shows the name Binder as a possible reference to her maiden name. That is incorrect. She was my grandmother. Her maiden name was Banchik, and she was born in the Ukraine in the town of Izyzlav. I have her family tree, Richard Ruthfield *** Contact information for a coordinator of JOWBR is provided near the end of Joyce Field's message below. - Moderator
