RESEARCH IN JEWISH CEMETERIES IN FRANCE
Jewish cemeteries are an important source of genealogical data. Therefore our members are strongly encouraged to list gravestones and to publish the lists in printed as well as in electronic form.
|
We strive to inform you as best as possible on what is being done on this subject. Remember that the index of the journal of CGJ contains a section of cemeteries, like the catalog of our library, like the Member's Corner contains some list of buried. |
