We're making terrific progress. We are perhaps 50% of the way toward completion and have nearly finished the most difficult-to-read sections.Most of the entries from the parcel by parcel listings have now been transcribed or sent out for transcription. These are the only source of information for pre-1906 burials.The Parcel listings often include the name, address, and sometimes the relationship of a member of the family of the deceased. This is a real bonus of information. Some of these addresses could be useful for the project Simon Kreindler just suggested.For those new to the !
 list,
 this database will be posted to the JewishGen web site when completed; each name will be linked to an image of the tombstone. The JGS of Ottawa, working with George Bolotenko and family, is to thank for obtaining the registers and photographing the thousands of tombstones in the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery on Zelena Street.I'm very impressed with the dedicated team of volunteers who are working so hard and carefully to create an accurate and complete database from these handwritten, often hard-to-read burial registers. We are up to 19 volunteers, and I'd like to acknowledge the following new volunteers since the last posting:Paula ZieselmanEdward MitelsbachHarry Green"Shimon NeumannPeter ReinigerFritz NeubauerHappy Chanukah!Bruce Reisch-- RADAUTZ: http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/radauti/radautz.htmlSADGURA: http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/sadgura/sadgura.htmlResear!
