Street Scene in Nesvizh, Minsk Gubernyia, Belarus

Nesvizh Study Group

Burials in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, New York

 


After the August, 1999, 19th Annual Jewish Genealogy Society Conference,   Steven Stein, a member of the Nesvizh Study Group, paid his second "working" visit to the cemetery and videotaped the all stones in the burial plots of the "Neswiser Young Men's Society" found there.  He then translated, in what has become known as "Tombstone T.V.", the images on the tape to the following listing.   We owe Steve a debt of gratitude for this extraordinary effort.  The original listing that Steve gave us contained only the surnames found on the stones.  This listing is the most complete list of names found at Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Glendale, Queens, New York.
  
There are 3 sections: Block 24, Block 3, and Block 73A.  Phone the cemetery office at (718) 366-5900 for more information.


Conventions used in the list:

The Last Name and First Name columns are self-explanatory. If a first name is followed by an ampersand (&), it indicates that the name was on a dual headstone. In a couple of cases, there is no matching name (vacant grave). Unreadable stones indicate so.  DOB is date of birth and DOD is date of death. Where no month and day were given, I put the date in text format rather than date format. Almost all stones had a DOD, and had either a DOB or an Age (at death).

The "Beloved" column indicates the references on the stone to the person, usually in English. The values are:

F - Father
M - Mother
H - Husband
W - Wife
GF - Grandfather
GM - Grandmother
GGF - Great Grandfather
GGM - Great Grandmother
B - Brother
U - Uncle
A - Aunt
S - Son
D - Daughter
Fr - Friend
Dr - Doctor
Other facts are written in full. Some are not explicitly on the stone, but inferred (e.g. stillborn child).

The Hebrew names are the best transliteration I could come up with. A handful of vowels are guessed, but most are pretty right. "HaK" indicates "HaKohen", "HaL" HaLevi, and "HaR" HaRav.  When I put question marks, there was something there that I could not read from the video. In some cases, I just missed it on the video and could get it back if I revisited. In others, the stone was just unreadable.  An entry of "---" indicates that I am almost positive that the information did not appear on the stone.  Where there is a blank (usually in the "Beloved" column), it indicates that I don't know if the information was present or not, but I did not catch it.
