JGSI Online Death Index
As part of our mission of “Serving as a resource for the worldwide community to research their Chicago Jewish roots” we have initiated a number of projects. Our initial projects have focused on the indexing of cemeteries in the Chicago area. We are using Steve Morse’s one step search tools to implement these initial designs and we thank Steve for making these tools available. Total burials currently in the database: 54,586.

The purpose of the information on this site is to assist members and other interested parties in locating the burial spaces of possible relatives. However, the information provided about family names and locations, at all except the Westlawn Cemetery, was developed by volunteers who assembled the information by physical inspection without any information from the cemetery or its records. Accordingly, neither JGSI, the Cemetery or any of the volunteers warrant or certify the accuracy of the names or locations. It is strongly recommended that anyone who finds information that may be of interest personally visit the Cemetery before reaching any final conclusions.
