The Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto has created a new project, entitled the Virtual Memorial Plaques Project. This is an opportunity for you, at no cost, to memorialize deceased family members by creating one or more virtual memorial plaques. The information that you create will be stored in databases at JGS Toronto and JewishGen’s Memorial Plaques project.
Participating in creating these Virtual Memorial Plaques will allow you to add more information than that typically included on a memorial (yahrzeit) plaque in a synagogue: for example, you can include a tribute, the location of the burial, and a photograph of the tombstone or of the deceased.
These Virtual Memorial Plaques will be accessible online for anyone worldwide who wishes to view them. This project will fulfil the mitzvah of memorializing family members and will help future generations with their genealogical research.
