Subject: Miodowa Street Cemetery in Krakow -- SummaryFrom: Brian Blitz Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:59:05 -0400X-Message-Number: 2Thank you to everyone who responded to my query on the recordbooks of the Miodowa Street Cemetery in Krakow. A condensed version of the information I received:There is a database containing burial information from a burial registry at www.jri-poland.org. JRI-Poland describes the information as covering "the years 1922-1939 and 1945-1961, a total of 18,894 entries. For 1922-1939 there is the location of the grave but no date of death, whereas from 1945 on, there isa date of death."There are two related databases on www.shoreshim.org. The first is "a listing of over 6,300 tombstone inscriptions from the 'New' cemetery in Miodowa Street, Krakow." The second contains digital images of approximately 600 tombstones.Dan Hirschberg's Krakow site www.ics.uci.edu/~dan/genealogy/Krakow/ has an excel spreadsheet with over 6300 tombstone inscriptions from the Miodowa Street cemetery.The Germans destroyed much of the cemetery, which may explain the discrepancy between the number of burials listed in the burial register (approx. 19,000) and the number of tombstone inscriptions catalogued (6,300).Brian Blitzblitzba@hotmail.comNew York
