Hello,

RE: Hetty Tagger

Please can someone kindly translate the Hebrew inscription on my great grandmother's tombstone.

I'm keen to know if their Hebrew or other family member's names are mentioned, so I'm able to trace my father's ancestors who naturalised from Russia, September 1903.

Thanking you in advance.

the modest women, ITA

daughter of Reb Eliyahu. She passed away, to the sorrow

of her husband and her children, 1 Tamuz 5696

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
===================================================
Her name, Ita, would have been pronounced EE-tah.

Again, 'Reb' is an honorific. Her father's name, Eliyahu, is Hebrew for Elijah.

The 1st of Tamuz of the year 5696 began at sunset on June 20th, 1936, and ended at sunset on the 21st. The secular date on the stone is the 20th. This means that she passed away between sunset and midnight of that date.
