Workman's Circle Branch 260 - Baranovicher, Lechovicher, and Mirer - at Beth-El Cedar Park, Paramus NJ
Look for the Content in Spring 2009!
The Cemetery Stone Project now encompasses around two dozen pages. Please go to Cemetery Stones, page 1 to find out what is included in these pages, to find the links to all of the pages we have created documenting Lechovicher burials, and to learn about the key role of Tina Levine in creating this tremendous collection of data for Lyakhovichi researchers. She photographed every stone in every NYC plot related to Lyakhovichi and Baranovichi, over 1200 photographs and hopes to add the ones for this page. The database of stones that the webmaster creates, based on the images created by Tina Levine, will be what you use as you study the information gathered for Spring 2009 from the lots of Workman's Circle Branch 260 at Beth-El Cedar Park in Paramus New Jersey..
You may be able to offer some insight! This is a large cemetery and the Workman's Circle graves divisions by lodge are not reported in the cemetery office records. We have a particular gravesite to start from - Thank-you Frank Proschan for info on your grandfather's burial! but we can't tell what else is included in this sea of lodge members' memorials. Any suggestions?
Repeated Information across the Cemetery Database
If your ancestor is buried in a Lechovicher plot
Does that mean they were definitely from Lyakhovichi? No, it could mean that they were married to a Lechovicher or that a child-in-law was a Lechovicher. Some of the graves used in more recent years could have been donated to someone who had a pressing need, or sold when the original lot holder was buried elsewhere.
If your ancestor is not buried in a Lechovicher plot
Does that mean they were definitely not from Lyakhovichi? No, there are many reasons someone would not be buried in a plot owned by one of the known landsmanschaften. They could have had plots from a spouse's society. They could have enjoyed the company of one group more than another. They could have associated with a non-origin specific group that offered burial plots, they could have lived and died in a city where no such organization existed, they could have died while resident elsewhere. Even when buried amidst a group of landsmen such affiliation might not be immediately obvious if the group to which they belonged identified itself as Minsker, Russian, or some larger group to which Lechovichers also belonged.
