Re: [Cz-L] The English we write.

Not to detract in any way from the cemetery transcription project, which I
support whole-heartedly, I would like to remind the members of this list,
that I have posted on Picasa web-album all and any photographs of
gravestones at the Czernowitz Jewish cemetery, which I have either
photographed myself, or which others have photographed and permitted me to
post.
You can access this album at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/MReiferTaylor/NamesOnGravestonesAtTheChernivtsi
CzernowitzJewishCemetery#

So far this album contains only 100 photographs. I would welcome any
additional photographs of gravestones on which the name(s) of the deceased
is legible.
