Salakas cemetery data

Maria Krane has very generously provided significant information on burials at the Salakas cemetery. She provides the following notes.

"The Salakas Jewish Cemetery is located 10 km SE of Salakas. A memorial was later constructed at the entrance of the forest to commemorate those who lost their lives during WWII, murdered by their neighbors, and buried in a mass grave.

The cemetery was documented by Regina Kopelovich in 2001, who had to ask the mayor of the town to have it cleared of the underbrush and debris, so that she could read the tombstones and transcribe them. Regina had to take a helper who turned over many stones that were not standing and therefore, unable to be read. Some stones remained undocumented because they were too heavy to lift. Most of the stones did not contain surnames.

The project was funded by Maria Krane, in memory of her mother-in-law, Rose Krane nee Rachman, who was born in Salakas in 1910. "

The information includes burials from 1805 to 1940. A few of the more recent stones carry surnames; most only give patronymics.

To meet file size restrictions I have cut the data into two parts. The spreadsheets can be opened here by clicking on the URL (I hope! let me know if you have a problem):

Part 1 http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pwqonpED2qPyIn5f_dOZdCQ&hl=en

Part 2 http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pwqonpED2qPyVPq5rYlm5cA&hl=en

To save the file to your computer click "File" then "Export" and choose your format.

Many thanks to Maria Krane.
