The above photos and the list of names from the cemetery in Dagda, is a report prepared for me in 1998 by the Latvian genealogist and historian Aleksandrs Feigmanis, who has given permission to publish it on this Dagda-ShtetLink site. The translation/transliteration was done by Aleksandrs Feigmanis. Question marks indicate that part of the inscription was illegible.


The below photos are from a visit to the cemetery in Dagda in May 2005. The cemetery is beautifully situated on Pjavu Iela on the brink of the Narūta river:
