Hi everyone,

I'm trying to untangle the many Murowchick/ Muravchick/ Murawczyk lines of relatives from David-Gorodok, Belarus who emigrated to the  US and Canada. I would very much appreciate help with these relatives' Hebrew names and those of their fathers as noted on the gravestones so that I can dig more deeply into online archival resources.

I've uploaded four images of their gravestones (in the US) to the following ViewMate sites:

Please respond via the form provided on the ViewMate image page.

Many thanks for any assistance you can provide!
