Although we copy all information on every stone, we have
created an index for easy searching.
Each plot in each cemetery is given
a specific Plot Code number. This code
number consists of the Cemetery Code,
which designates a specific cemetery
and a Plot Number, assigned by the society.
For example: Plot Code number
LOD100
LOD is the cemetery code assigned to the cemetery
in Myszyniec, Mazowieckie province.
100 is the plot number we have assigned
a specific plot which contains information on everyone buried in this plot.
Each plot number can contain any amount of names, various surnames and first names.

The cemeteries in our listings are all in rural areas.
Some were overgrown with dense vegetation during our visits
and it was not always possible to get to all the headstones.
We copied all the gravesites that were accessible.
Please note that monuments in many of these cemeteries date only from the
late 1800s. In rural areas, wooden crosses and metal plates were commonly
used as grave markers, most of which have decayed and rusted with the passage
of time. thus, although these cemeteries are hundreds of years old,
most of the surviving monuments are a century old or less. the older
monuments that survived were constructed of stone and wrought iron.
