I got only initial money to document the cemetery. Please consider donation so that we can start. Donate $100 to Bessasrabia-Moldova Cemetery Projec to receive the Excel table with records before they appear at JOWBR. If you find relative(s), I will send ALL photos we have for that grave. In some cases we have 2-3 photos. Yefim Kogan <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. [August 2015]
