I have found the info on the tombstones very useful in my research, so I try to photograph them even if they have been indexed previously. That's what I've done with Polonnoe Cemetery. I had JOWBR send me the old spreadsheet and I've updated it with photos and Hebrew names. Will send it in shortly. Because it was so veg-free, it only took me about 2 1/2 hours to photograph about 300 graves (a new record, for me).<br /><br />If you ever decide to do some more of the Baker St. plots, let me know. I have a few I'd love to see photographed. :-)Emily Garberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728999439188446783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-48982497079063268772013-09-18T11:14:26.654-07:002013-09-18T11:14:26.654-07:00That group of Jewish cemeteries is well maintained...That group of Jewish cemeteries is well maintained. (See JCAM - Jewish Cemetery Association of Massachusetts.) That also happens to be the closest one to where I live in Needham and I try to fulfill FindAGrave requests there when I can. I know I should work on recording some of those for JOWBR too (if they're not already in there) - just need to find a day and DO IT.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-59932358980199331362013-09-17T18:55:10.077-07:002013-09-17T18:55:10.077-07:00Oh, never leave home without them.

I'm so used to crawling around and cutting down vegetation that I was floored when I recorded the Polonnoe Cemetery at Baker Street (West Roxbury, MA) before IAJGS this summer when there was NO vegetation.

I've never thought to keep pruning clippers in my car when on my way to an older cemetery - thanks for the tip ;-)Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445639686053980930.post-62734653143982119432013-09-17T11:26:14.956-07:002013-09-17T11:26:14.956-07:00Yes, it is (and thank you, Janice).
