As a native of San Francisco, I am doing genealogical research on
my Olmert family in Israel. Several family members are buried in a
family plot in Binyamina, Israel. While I have visited the "old"
cemetery, I do not read or speak Hebrew which prevented me from
locating it. I would kindly ask that someone take and email me some
digital photographs of the headstones such that I can translate the
birth and death information into English.

Their names:
1. Mordechai Olmert
2. Bella Wugman Olmert
3. Michal Olmert
4. Shura Olmert
5. Asya Olmert
6. Milika Olmert
7. Anyone else with the name Olmert

More than 3,000 tombstones have been photographed and are available
to view at BillionGraves

Transcription is in the process so very soon you will be able to
search there (in Hebrew) for the Olmert family. After a bit, you
will be able to search (in English also) via MyHeritage:

This is part of the MyHeritage pro-bono initiative to photograph and
index all cemeteries in Israel
