Jewish Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR)

Work has been completed on more than 105,000 new records for JOWBR. These records were collected by volunteers, and cover 578 cemeteries in 66 countries throughout the world. Of particular significance is the addition of all Jewish records from United Kingdom WWI veteran cemeteries worldwide. Once these records go online (early next month), JewishGen will have more than 2.3 million records in total.

Memorial Plaques Database

Work has been completed on more than 22,000 new records for the Memorial Plaque Project (MPP) database. These records were collected by volunteers, and come from synagogues in Canada, Israel and the United States. Once these records go online (early next month) JewishGen will have more than 80,000 records in total.
