The REGISTRY of SAINT-EUGÈNE CEMETERY at ALGIERS

The last registry of Algiers' Saint-Eugene cemetery has been restored and copied by Mrs Line Meller.
This registry which spans the period from June 1941 to May 2001, usually provides, for each burial :
- the date
- the family name and given name of the person buried
- the given name of the buried person's father
- the buried person's age
- the husband's name if it is a married woman
- the class of the burial
- the zone of the tomb
- the address of buried person
- whether there was a coffin or not.

Jean-Paul Durand and Philippe Danan have digitalized this registry and they made an.index. To consult it click here .

How to obtain information

The registry being quite voluminous (about 650 pages), this index makes it easier to access.
This index is ordered by family names. With each name, the dates of the corresponding burials are given (e.g 2/1945 means fFebruary 1945).

To obtain a copy of a page of the registry, you have only to give the name and the date to our Office

A contribution of 3 euros (2 euros if you are a member of CGJ) for each name and date will then be required, with a minimum fee of 6 euros per order. The money thus collected, after the office expenses are deducted, will help to support an action related to the Algerian judaism, such as the rehabilitation of the Saint-Eugène cemetery, a gift to the Ribach and Rachbats synagog at Netanya through Mr. Simon Darmon, or anything with the same aims.
