KehilaLinksLogo The Beth Lida section of Roselawn Cemetery, Toronto


This transcription was donated by Rhonda B. Cohen, who writes: "March 2005 - the exact row endings were not known at time of transcribing; R Poizner, President of Beth Lida (Forest Hill) Synagogue at 22 Gilgorm Rd gave start Row 1 (west) and end Row 6 (east) from street, and stated their  section did not extend to the fence.  ( Please realize there will be errors and omissions and I apologize. I was told Roselawn was once a brick works factory, so the rows are anything but straight! Hence the difficulty in figuring out partial rows. The Jewish Genealogical Society is in the process of transcribing Roselawn and will hopefully one day have it available online. This is only one small done section while trying to find members of my family. If this proves useful to you, then please return the favour and check with JGS to help with their cemetery transcription project.  Jewish cemeteries need to be done! In fact, all cemeteries should be done!
I have included all rows to fence but used [aisle  divide] specifically to show what is possibly not part of  the Beth Lida section.) [empty] count may not be exact! Rows were numbered from west to east, walking north (street to back fence of houses".
