How to Update Geneaology on JCGC’s Website

JCGC is pleased to provide access to 35,000 burial records through the genealogy section of its website. Almost all of our records include a photo of the memorial. We also have a select number of obituaries on our data base and plan to add more periodically.

It is easy to use the search functions of the genealogy data base. By clicking on the Genealogy tab on our home page, you land on a page that provides a tutorial video for those who haven’t previously visited the page. You can click on the video to view the tutorial. On the bottom of the same page, you can look up individuals who are buried in our cemeteries by submitting their names.

The information available in our data base includes a photo of the memorial, the cemetery and lot location, birth and death dates, and any family information that we have on file.

One of the really exciting parts of our genealogy page is that the user is able to provide updates by making corrections or furnishing missing data to our data base. For example, when JCGC’s records include only birth and death dates and a grave location, users will be able to add names of parents and children. These updates, containing the user’s comments, come to the JCGC office via an email generated by the web page, allowing JCGC to make the corrections/additions. The input form is shown below:

Online genealogy searches and corrections/updates are a free service to the community.

    We are thrilled to share that JCGC Board Member Marlene Ostrow was honored with the Mesel Wieder Mensch Award at the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati Sustainers event on Wednesday. You might know Marlene as a dedicated volunteer who serves as the Chair of JCGC's Create Your Jewish Legacy Team, former Co-Chair of the Chestnut Street Committee, and as a member of the JCGC Executive Committee, Marketing Committee, and 200th Committee. This is all in addition to the volunteer work she does with many area organizations. Marlene is a “doer” who gets things done and leads by example. We are grateful to have her talents on the JCGC Board. Join us in giving Marlene a big “mazel tov!”The Mesel Wieder Mensch Award was established in 1999. The award recognizes a member of the Cincinnati Jewish Community who personifies the meaning of the Yiddish word “Mensch.” A mensch is someone who is sensitive and cares about other human beings and is concerned about and works for the Jewish community. They do this without fanfare or any expectation of public recognition.Pictured: Marlene Ostrow, JCGC Board Member, and David Harris, Executive Director of JCGC#JewishCemeteries ... See MoreSee Less
