Re: [Cz-L] searching for Malka SINGER nee Dodek

Sometimes the maiden name of the deceased is written first
on the gravestone and in some cases people are buried
with their relatives and possibly their surname appears only
as a secondary name, or not at all. The grave of someone
who died in 1935 may be in the area cleared recently,
but may also be in an area which has not yet been cleared.
Some of the areas which have as yet not been cleared
are an impenetrable jungle; sapling trees growing so densely.
Of the 5 graves of my relatives in the cemetery,
I was able to find only one, even though I know reasonably well
where all of them are located.

I would advise Georgeta Iancu to search in the cleared areas
by herself first, she may be lucky. The volunteers will still
be working for the next few days.
