| Monessen Family Photographs |
|
To be inclusive, we contacted all of the Monessen researchers with an e-mail address listed in JewishGen (as of 19 November 2011). We asked each person contacted for family photographs or anything else to make the Monessen shtetl web pages in JewishGen's KehilaLinks more interesting for all current and future researchers. Our sincere appreciation is expressed to all who responded.
