Memorial Plaques (JewishGen)
The JewishGen Memorial Plaques Project (MEMPLAQs) is a searchable database of names and other identifying information from Jewish synagogue and memorial records (“Yahrzeit Plaques”) worldwide. It is a compilation of two linked databases: a database of memorial plaques, and a database of information about each synagogue. The Memorial Plaques Project’s aim is to catalogue data about Jewish synagogue and memorial records worldwide. You may find the MEMPLAQs records at https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Memorial/:
JGS Toronto participates in the JewishGen MEMPLAQs project and the data we collect is incorporated into the relevant JewishGen “All Country” Databases. As of January 2021, we have provided 5,066 memorial records for five Toronto area synagogues to JewishGen’s website.
