For those who may have missed recent messages about it on

JewishGen, a reminder about an important new website for New

York City research:

Mount Hebron Cemetery in Flushing, Queens, one of the New

York metropolitan area's largest Jewish cemeteries, has put

online a searchable database of over 217,000 burials that

have occurred there since the cemetery's founding in 1909.

The database, at www.mounthebroncemetery.com/search.asp ,

can be searched by any combination of these variables:

first name, last name, landsmanshaft name, month of death,

year of death, block number, and reference number. (Block

is the first number in each grave's location code;

reference is the second number.)

Mount Hebron has at least five landsmanshaft plots that are

associated with Czernowitz:

Chernowitz Podolier Aid Association - Blocks 13 and 67

(Indexed as CHERNOWITZ PODOLIER AID.)

Czernowitz-Bukowinaer Lodge - Block 22

(Indexed as CZERNOWITZ BUKOWIN LGE.)

First Progressive Society of Czernowitz Bucowina - Block 23

(Indexed as CZERNOWITZ BUKOWIN.)

Independent Chernowitz Podolier Lodge #319 IOBS - Block 41

(Indexed as BRONX LODGE #319.)

The site also includes a history of the cemetery, a

cemetery map, hours and directions, and upcoming interments

and unveilings.

Kudoes to Mount Hebron Cemetery for this ground-breaking

(you should excuse the expression!) site.
