Re: [Cz-L]Travel to Chernivtsi

I would like to reiterate what I wrote about finding specific tombstones at
the Jewish cemetery in Chernivtsi and give some examples.

If you want to find the location of a particular grave at the Jewish
cemetery in Chernivtsi, access the " JewishGen Worldwide Burial Registry at:

> http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/cemetery/

Fill out the required small form to get to see the information you are
looking for. This includes any of the following: surname, given name,
given name of father, Hebrew name, town.
Under town, please write Chernivtsi (the current name and spelling).
Lower down there is a space for Geographical Region in which you want to
look. Scroll down the list of regions until you come to Ukraine, then scroll
down about an inch and a half more, till you come to a subheading,
Austrian Empire and then further down till you come to a sub-sub heading,
Bucovina. This is the region you want. Click on it and press the bar which
says:

Search the JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry.

I filled out the small form, stating Wiznitzer as the surname, Chernivtsi
as the town and Bucovina as the region. I did not state a given name.
Where it is possible to state whether the names are "is exactly" or "sounds
like" I chose "is exactly".

The search brought up three graves of people named Wiznitzer, two of them
men, one the grave of a woman. One grave was of Arie Leib Wiznitzer, ben
Abraham, who died in 1929 and is interred in area 107. There is a photograph
showing the grave.

I then accessed the "official cemetery map from the Chernivtsi cemetery
administration" which can be found in the section "The Czernowitz Jewish
Cemetery" on the Ehpes website.

This map shows area #107 close to the northern perimeter of the cemetery.
The size of the whole cemetery is about 11.6 hectares, area 107 is one of
the smaller areas and measures about 56 square meter, or about 7x8 meter.
CJCRO had area 107, cleared of vegetation in 2009.
It would have been easy to find the grave without the help of Leonid.

There are graves in the Czernowitz Jewish cemetery which are not included in
the "JewishGen Worldwide Burial Registry". If you cannot find information
about a grave you are looking for, Bruce Reisch may be able to provide you
the necessary information from photocopies of the burial registers of the
city. But please keep in mind, that Bruce is a busy person and try to first
find the information you are looking for at JOWBR on your own.

Another resource to consult are the Picasaweb Albums of photographs taken at
the cemetery in recent years and available at:
https://picasaweb.google.com/MReiferTaylor#

For instance:

Among the photographs of tombstones in this album there is one of another
Wiznitzer; Yaakov, ben Israel Yehudah Wiznitzer, 1877 - 1934.
