The Brody Cemetery Project
 

        Initiated in 1996 by Dr. Neil Rosenstein and Dr. Ben Solomowitz, with Rabbi Dov Weber joining later, this was a project to photograph and transcribe information from all the gravestones in Brody's existing Jewish cemetery.  All stones with legible epitaphs, approximately 5,500 dating from about 1834 to 1939, have now been photographed and their epitaphs transcribed.  The work has yielded names, death dates, fathers' names, and, when available, comments from these stones.   Information from about half of the stones in this survey is provided below.  For further information,  contact:  Dr. Benjamin Solomowitz, 1785 Merrick Avenue, Merrick, NY 11566, (718) 740-1892, or Dr. Neil Rosenstein, 654 Westfield Avenue, Elizabeth, NJ 07208, FAX:  (908) 353-6080, or E-mail:  neil@tali.com
