Nope. No Coopers. Just noticed your tombstone posted by Thomas MacEntee (Geneabloggers.com) on Pinterest. Will be paging thru your blog, a well.

Love your blog- lots of good info there! I will be browsing there for quite a while. 🙂

Are you related to the Cooper family or *just* a helpful genealogist?

You are welcome. To me, ViewMate is one of the most amazing JewishGen resources (and one of the least known, I think, outside of Jewish genealogy).

Also,just discovered that my blog URL was mistyped in the last message. Now corrected in this message. 🙂

Thank you so much, Emily! It is nice to finally know the names, and we also appreciate the suggestion to use ViewMate. I have registered on JewishGen and they do have wonderful resources- in fact, that is how we have found where some of the family is buried. I will need to spend more time on their site- they seem to have a wonderful, active community of folks very willing to help, as you are.

Israel’s tombstone:
line 4: Yisrael Yitzkhak [Israel Issac] son of
line 5: Baruch Menakhem Cooper

Bessie’s tombstone:
line 4: [last two words] Batya Feiga
line 5: daughter of Shraga Feivish
line 6: [first word] ha’Kohan [Cohen indicates she was descended patrilineally from the Cohen priestly caste]

You may not be aware of a wonderful resource on JewishGen called ViewMate. One may upload images and others will translate for you. I suggest posting these two and asking for direct translations of the Hebrew. JewishGen is free. One needs to register, I believe, to use this service.
