| 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.
