Bessarabia SIG, Update for September 2016

Hi everybody,

Please see the What's New Section of the details.

We have completed indexing and sent to JOWBR information on **two** more Jewish
cemeteries in Bessarabia/Moldova:

- Jewish Cemetery of Leovo. It used to a very large cemetery. We have sent 353
burial records (we could read surname, first name or father's name at least)
with 289 photos. We also put a section of Unknown graves for Leovo cemetery
with 343 photos at Bessarabia SIG website (cemetery section).

I should tell you that it took two trips to Leovo to do the photographing, and
were promised some donations for Leovo, but did not get them! We need your
donations for the Leovo Cemetery!
The work for Leovo cemetery is done yet. There is a section at the cemetery,
with no access to the graves. There is going to be a Reconstruction project at
Leovo cemetery, hopefully started in spring of 2017 to clean up the cemetery
and fix the fence. See more details about it at the Leovo Cemetery report.

- Jewish Cemetery of Dubossary, Old Section. 149 burial records with 149 photos
submitted to JewishGen/JOWBR, and also 46 photos sent to Unknown Section for
Dubossary, Old.
That cemetery has graves dating to the end of 18 century - 200+ years old. Some
of the monuments have a terrific engravings and inscriptions. See more at the
Dubossary Jewish Cemetery, old section Report.
I was very much interested to see the result of this work - my great great
grandfather Erukhim Kohen most likely was buried at that cemetery in late 19 c,
but no, I was not lucky at this time.

- You also can see the updated list of Jewish Cemeteries in Bessarabia/Moldova
with latest information on the work we are doing.

- The Bessarabia SIG Website was updated, especially Research Project section.
The cemetery projects were moved to Cemetery section, and I encourage you to
browse the Research Project and other section.

Please let us know if you have any questions, ideas of how to make our
Bessarabia SIG and the website better.

All the best,
