What's available on this website
The search tool for the Jewish Independent Obituary Index has been modified and several hundred entries have been added. This database is mainly composed of extracts of vital information from obituaries. Pre 1906 information mostly comes from the Jewish Review & Observer, another weekly, which began publication in 1899. Post 1964 information was extracted from The Cleveland Jewish News. This database covers about 1898-1982. It evolved as it grew - therefore not every single entry coincides with an obituary. Click here to go to the search tool. Picture of the Month
