JGSGB General Meeting - Aug 16th 2020 2pm – with JGSGB Mentors – “BWBU: Brick Walls and Brush Up Workshop”

Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a General Meeting by Zoom.

Date: August 16th 2020
Time: 14:00 London
Title: BWBU: The JGSGB Brick Walls and Brush Up Workshop
Experts: JGSGB Mentors will be on hand
Description: We will hold our well-received workshop under the title ‘BRICK WALLS & BRUSH UP’.

BW = where you feel that you can’t go any further ... but more than likely, you can.

BU = for those who may have lapsed with their researches in recent times, thus feel that they need a boost. We will supply the jump leads.

The Society’s mentors – and on occasions other well clued up members – will endeavour to point one and all in the right direction. All regions covered.

If you have any specific questions regarding your brick walls, please send a brief summary to Raymond Montanjees at eesig@jgsgb.org.uk and he will brief the relevant expert before the meeting. But it is fine to just turn up on the day and we will answer with the best advice we can muster.

The invitation to register is below, but please keep it to yourself! Please note that we are continuing with registration for our Zoom meetings in August to see if the automated emails generated are better than manually sending out Zoom invitations.

If you have problems joining please email chairman@jgsgb.org.uk, preferably in the 15 minutes before the meeting proper starts.

New database for Cardiff’s Highfield Road Orthodox Jewish Cemetery

From David Shulman: What better way to start the New Year other than with a brand new database! A newly-created searchable database, hosted by JCR-UK, is now up and running. The database, relating to burials at Cardiff’s Highfield Road Orthodox Jewish Cemetery, covers the period 1852 through July 2020 and contains nearly 1,800 burial records, with some 1,470 headstone images. It can be accessed at: https://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Cemeteries/Cardiff/Highfield_Road_Cemetery/Cemetery_Menu.htm Search results also include coordinates for each individual grave (accurate to about one metre) together with a link to a Google satellite image of the cemetery showing the location of the grave. The creation of the database is part of a project to digitalise the records of all Jewish cemeteries in South Wales and complements a major project by the Jewish History Association of South Wales to collect reminiscences and artefacts and physical items from the numerous Jewish communities in South Wales (...
