Shumanska Cemetery, Shumanska, BULGARIA. 627 burials total.
Burials in Shuman, Bulgaria
Cemetery Description
Shumen - or Shumla her Turkish name- is situated in the North-East of Bulgaria. At the end of the 19th century the local Alliance Israélite Universelle School played an important role in Shumen. The community of Shumen was also known for its early and strong commitment to Zionism. The community almost disappeared with the mass immigration to Israel that occurred from October 1948 to June 1948 and the only Jewish remnant is the Jewish cemetery.
This data set is from Joseph Covo, who obtained a copy of the burials from a local Jew.
The set includes the names of 621 deceased who died in Shumen between 1844 and 1966. Most of the death/burial dates are from the 1940s. There are dates of death for only 16.5% of the deceased. The number column contains the order number on the original list.
The index was compiled by Mathilde A. Tagger.
