I've been reviewing some records from the Old Cemetery of Cracow (ReMa Cemetery) and there are two burials that should be easy to identify and yet I cannot find them on Geni. I've tried various spellings in my searches, but I may not have used the correct one.

There should be plenty of clues in these records, but I cannot figure them out! Please have a look at your earliest convenience.

1) http://www.steinheim-institut.de/cgi-bin/epidat?id=rmo-164&inv=... : mentions Moshe ben Naftali (aka Moshe Reb Enzels) who was ABD and mentions as buried nearby Mordechai Daykhs, his son Jerucham, and his son Avraham. I am interested in finding both the Moshe and the Daykhs family.

2) http://www.steinheim-institut.de/cgi-bin/epidat?id=rmo-33&anzei...: Yekhutiel Zalman ben Eliezer HaCohen of Lask... there should be plenty of clues in this inscription as well.

I'm hoping someone in the group will instantly recognize these and be able to point me in the correct direction without a lot of effort.

Cordially,
Adam Cherson

PS: To assist I'm posting the English translations of the two headstones listed above:
