Thank you Art, and to all working on this Restoration mission!
As a nearly- native Trentonian, I commend you! Were I not living in Har Adar, Israel, and close to Trenton I would be present... yes, my beloved parents are buried in Ewing.... and beginning tonight we observe Danessa Inez Bachrach Feinberg’s 25 Yartzeit.

With success, Art, here and in all your missions.
Chag Sameach!

Hello, 
I attended last night's reception for the Jewish Cemetery project and viewed your Google Docs file which lists incomplete information on my grandfather, Louis L. Gansl, died June 22, 1961.
I took the information from the grave marker because I visit the cemetery often.

Art, can you find out which of my family members are buried at Cedar Lane .I think my grandparents Fanny and Harry Wineberg plus my aunt Mildred Wineberg and Uncle Norman Wineberg are buried there plus my dad's parents Abraham and Sadie Berkelhammer.. If this is so  I would like to contribute to restoration of the cemetery. Hope you  and Linda are well. Cant believe I am turning 75 next Monday. Time has flown. Take care. Fondly ruth

There are no Weinberg but we do have Weinberg not same first names.  We also have Isadore and Jennie Berkelhammer but not Abraham and Sadie.   Remember there are over 1400 names but not everyone buried in the 5 is in the database.

Downtown Trenton, 1929

Downtown Trenton Harry Podmore 1929 Although there were a disproportionate number of professionals (Physicians, Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants, Dentists), most reverted to the family business of selling merchandise. However, they did it on a much larger scale. Trenton was known for its ‘downtown.’ Between Willow and City Hall, there were 100’s of stores, both small and large. The interesting fact is that most of them were owned by the sons and daughters of ‘Jewtown.’ During the era of the 1920’s, Jews had difficulty getting onto college, if for no other reason that they were Jewish. If they were ‘lucky’ enough to attend college from 1929 on, they returned home to support a Depression-starved family. Downtown Trenton had been a busy commercial district after the Greene St. (Broad St.) overpass forded the Assinpink Creek. In addition, it originally housed the most prominent families of Trenton, such as the Roebling’s, the Kuser's, etc. The retail trade in Trenton saw its h

Avraham and Rivkah Swern

  In front of the headstone for Avraham and Rivkah Swern is a stone that is tilted backwards.  It marks the final resting place of Morris Freedman, who passed away on October 29, 1919. He is listed in the 1900 Trenton City Directory.   He was apparently in business with the Vine family with the shirt manufacturer Vine and Freedman.    There is a genealogy website that cites Freedman's business dealings here. Chapter 2-3: Simon (The Third Child of Benjamin & Bessie Wein) Simon (b. 1859; Lida, Vilna) was the third child of Benajmin and Bessie Wein. He married Libby (Leba or Bessie) Abramsohn (b. 1862) in Lida in 1883-1884. Simon and Libby had eight children: Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A., Benjamin, Rachel and Norman. Simon immigrated via Hamburg on April 28, 1896 at the age of 37 on the SS California and arrived NY on May 15, 1896. Libby arrived in either 1898 or 1899. The oldest six children (Rebecca, Emma, Jacob, Rose Leah, Louis A. a
