Archive research & records
Archive research, translating headstone inscriptions and mapping graves by GPS.
Sometimes little is known about a burial: a name with variant spellings, approximate years, a photo of the inscription. Zikaron contractors help reconstruct the picture: they research available sources and community records, decipher and translate headstone inscriptions (Hebrew, Yiddish, Russian), confirm the grave's location and plot it on the cemetery map by GPS. Basic and in-depth research differ in how many sources are checked. Every job comes with a report and, where useful, photo documentation of the inscription for your family archive.
