Mimi:

I have a suggestion regarding terminology. Let's refer to the
current divisions in the cemetery as "Areas" and the old divisions as
"Parcels". This would be consistent with the terminology already on
Ehpes at:
http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/newcemetery/bruce/bruce1.html

All the data from JGS Ottawa, including data already uploaded to the
JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry, follows this convention.
The old records clearly call each section of the cemetery a Parcel.
The JGS Ottawa data was divided into what they called Areas. Each
individual grave site was called a plot in the old system. If we
standardize our terminology now, there will be no confusion going
forward.
