| 1/15/2012 Translation Project Completed !!! Inscriptions of tombstones in the Jewish Cemeteries of Odessa Hello everybody,
I'm very pleased to announce that the translation project of the Tombstone Inscriptions Books has been completed and is already online.
My deepest gratitude to Yoni who has done the translation of the book, and to Lara and Shalom who have reviewed, corrected and completed it.
The data can be accessed in several forms:
- Through a search in the database (the search engine will be improved in the future). The search is available at the database homepage.
- Navigating through the book (the corresponding records will appear below the page image). The book is accessible on the Books Database page but also through the "tombstone collection" on the database homepage. When you navigate through the book, the records corresponding to a page (if any) appear just below the page image. By clicking on the magnifying glas you'll be able to see the record details.
- For the next 60 days the records and pages will also appear in the What's New page of the database.
Regards,

| 1/8/2012 All Odessa Database now included in the Odessa Kehilalink Hi everybody,
I wish you all a happy and sweet new year.
I've got some exciting news to begin 2012.
I've migrated the All Odessa Database to the Odessa Kehilalink. Now everything is integrated.
This was not only a "migration" but also a restructuring to support the multiple collections of the different projects going on (in a few days the translation of the "Tombstone inscriptions Book" will be published).
In the home page of the Kehilalink you'll have the statistics concerning the new addings to the database.
In the research menu you'll have a new option "All Odessa Database" that will open the AODB home page.
From there you'll be able to browse the different collections and to perform search into the database.
By the moment there's a "general" search but in the future I expect to provide more advanced search (like soundex or DM search, search by collections, etc.)
Hope you'll find this new functionality useful. I'm looking forward for your feedback.
Best regards,
Ariel Parkansky
