Jewish Tombstones,
By
This review is from: The Jews of Jamaica: Tombside Inscriptions 1663-1880 (Hardcover)
The Book is a summary of all the Jewish Tombstones in the different Cemeteries of Jamaica. The information is actually the epitaphs so the book have some info in Spanish, some in Portuguese, some in Hebrew and some in English, as these were the languages that were used on the Tombstones. The Authors (they didn't work together) were in Jamaica around the 40's or 50's (I don't remember) and the information was finally compiled in 1997 date that the book was published. The Book has an Index of all the tombstones, it is a very useful index as the list is per name or surname so the reader can find a person very easy. Some of the Cemeteries that are mention in the book may not exist anymore as they were replaced by Hotels and commercial buildings. So the information in this book is very valuable as the Tombstones may have disappeared forever.
