The project could not have been accomplished without the extraordinary efforts of Ada Green, who became Chairperson of the JGS' Cemetery Committee in early 1997. We would like to thank the many volunteers who, in addition to Ada, walked or drove around the grounds of each cemetery: Dena Abrams, Risa Axelrad, Mike Brenner, Gerry Dunsky, Les Eldridge (z"l), Estelle Guzik, Lorraine Korn, Susan Landau, Hadassah Lipsius, Madeleine Okladek, Rhea Plottel, Fred Shaw, Paul Silverstone, Art Simpson, and Lori Wenig. Additional volunteers included Debra Braverman, Syd Chazanow, Sandra Cohen, Nancy Deutsch-Sinderbrand (z"l), Joe Fibel (z"l), Mary Nahon Galgan, Steve Grossman, Eden Joachim, Susannah Juni, Barbara Khait, David Kleiman (z"l), Bob Kramer, Bob Kraus, Eli Levy, Adrienne Moumin, Gladys Paulin (z"l), Steve Rauch, Joan Sanders (z"l), Alan Shifrin, Steven Siegel (z"l), Andrew Sverdlove, and Ellen Weiss.

We welcome your assistance in providing us with the correct town or country name where it is questionable, erroneous, or missing, but only if you have personal knowledge of the society. This may be the case if you have a family member buried there or if you have memorabilia from your ancestral society (e.g. souvenir anniversary booklets). Because we are seeking the highest degree of accuracy possible, we regret that we cannot accept "I’m pretty sure" or "I think" as definitive proof of the town name for a society. In such case, we would rather keep the question mark until we receive more exact information. Please send any corrections to info@jgsny.org.
