Tomas Jelinek is leading an effort to rescue fragments of shattered headstones from Jewish Cemetery of Prostějov. To help with this project some of us are building the family trees (both direct and collateral lines) of the individuals associated with the recovered gravestones to find living relatives and to hopefully build momentum for this project with support from those families.

Please request to join and indicate which families you wish to research and document. This requires ability to read old German script. We need to accurately document these trees.

Please add what you know about your family to Geni and add the earliest ancestors to the Jewish Families from Prostějov (Prossnitz), Moravia, Czech Republic project (https://www.geni.com/projects/Jewish-Families-from-Prost%25C4%259Bj...).

If you know that you are related to one of the people buried in the old cemetery, add those people to the lost cemetery project. Let me know if you need help, by sending me a message directly on Geni. (Sometimes I don't see discussion messages.)
