Found this on a genealogy blog yesterday.....Chicagos Emanuel Congregation Cemetery Book AvailableLeland Meitzler[email] @ 11:50 am Mon, Aug 8, 2005 Thanks to Emanuel Congregations donation of a cemetery book to the Chicago Jewish Archives located in the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, Jewish genealogists now have another valuable source of historic information. The book, which dates back to 1880 when the synagogue was founded, is divided into two sections. The first contains an alphabetical list of family plots; the second is organized by plot number and lists the amounts of money paid to maintain the cemetery plots. The book also contains valuable handwritten information on the burials and correspondence with family members. We recognized what a valuable genealogical resource this book was and how helpful it could be to individuals tracing their family roots. So we had the pages scanned and family names indexed for easy reference, explains Marlene Dodinval, president of Emanuel. Now each page can be viewed on a computer screen and family names and dates can be searched. To view the book, visit the Archives at 618 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, or for more information, call (312) 322-1741. Ellen Plourde http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~opindex/
