There are about 92 grave stones standing or laying on the ground at the Chadyr-Lunga cemetery. Some of them do not have any inscription, and broken.

There are 73 records uploaded to the JOWBR, with 69 photographs of them.

Also 19 graves were unrecognized, because of no writing or very little writing, from which we could derive any names. These 19 photos you can view at the Bessarabia SIG website / Cemetery section or directly here: Unknown Graves at Chadyr-Lunga cemetery.

Here are our members of JewishGen who helped to decipher the writings at a number of graves:

Nathen Gabriel Dov Oppenheim David Rosen Jo Mintz Seligman Odeda Zlotnick Madeleine Isenberg

Thank you very much to all of you! Without your help that project will not be possible!
