Czernowitzers!
Most of you know of our long-term efforts to create an online burial
registry of the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery, including photos of each
tombstone. This project was initiated and funded by JGS Ottawa, and has
resulted in thousands of records that can be searched via JOWBR, the
JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry
<http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/cemetery/>.
JOWBR has just been updated with 60,000 new records, of which nearly 3,200
come from the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery. This brings the total number of
Czernowitz records to 19,272!
The following Areas are included in the latest update:
10A, 12, 15B, 16C, 17, 33B, 54, 55, 59, 60, 61, 63, 124+135 (combined),
131A, and 131B.
A map of the cemetery can be found on our ehpes site here:

This version shows my best guess of the correspondence between the old
Parcel numbers (in red) and the current "Area" numbering system:

The latest addition to the Czernowitz records on JOWBR was due to the hard
work of three very dedicated volunteers. List member Noam Silberberg just
joined the project earlier this year, and did a large amount of very high
quality transcription work in a short period of time. Also included are
the final efforts of Kurt Nachman, who passed away in October. Though no
longer with us, he is fondly remembered for his dedication to this project
which employed his tremendous skills in languages. As usual, Eddy
Mitelsbach of Belgium proof-read all entries and added data to the
spreadsheets based on the correspondence between the location of a
tombstone and plot-by-plots listings in the burial registers. We owe much
gratitude to all three of these excellent volunteers.
Warmest wishes,
Bruce
