[Cz-L] Sadagora cemetery

<x-flowed>Hi Larry -

The cemetery project includes only records from the burial registers
of the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery. However, some of the entries have
plot locations replaced by the phrase "Transported to Sadagora". In
these cases, the individual apparently died in Czernowitz and was
buried in Sadagora. There are numerous entries for individuals
transported for burial to Itkani, Bojan, Radautz and other locations.

Glad you asked about Sadagora! It's a much smaller cemetery, but no
burial registers exist, except for one page of records found among
the thousands of pages from the Czernowitz registers. I posted to
this group the list of the names from that single page months ago.
But we do have available digital images of every tombstone in the
Sadagora cemetery. These are courtesy of the efforts (once again) of
JGS Ottawa, George Bolotenko, Alti Rodal and the rest of the team
that was responsible for the Czernowitz project.

If a volunteer can be found to lead the effort, he/she can correspond
with Hymie Reichstein to acquire the images and arrange for
volunteers to translate information from Hebrew and German to be
entered into spreadsheets compatible with JewishGen's Online
Worldwide Burial Registry.

There are probably under 1000 images of tombstones (as opposed to
50,000 to 60,000 in the Czernowitz cemetery), so the project would be
of a very manageable size.

OK - just need a volunteer to start the project . . .

Best regards,
Bruce
