Botosani is a major city in northeast Romania and the capital of Botosani Judet (county). Early Jewish population is known from the 16th/17th centuries. Over the next few hundred years Jews leaving the Russian Empire, Galicia, and Germany headed south toward northern Romania (Moldovia and Bukovina). Jewish population growth was very rapid throughout the 19th century. Botosani Judet and Dorohoi Judet became major Jewish centers along with Jassy. Dorohoi merged with Botosani after WW2.
According to the Jewish Yearbook, [London, 1902-03] the Jewish population (25,000 in 1901/02) in Botosani was 72% - the highest percentage of any large city in the world at that time. Iasi (Jassy) was the 2nd highest at 58%.

Woodlawn Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in New York City. A rural cemetery located in the Bronx, it opened in 1863, in what was then southern Westchester County, in an area that was annexed to New York City in 1874. The cemetery covers more than 400 acres and is the resting place for more than 300,000 people. Woodlawn's Director of Historical Services Susan Olsen will describe the cemetery and the records available. Ms. Olsen is also the former Executive Director of Friends of Woodlawn.
italiangen.org 1. Sara Gips b. 5-14-1891 Manhattan #17378 (I believe this is actually Clare Gibbs Burden. Reason: her death record stated birthdate was 5-11-1894, but she is listed consistantly as OLDER than her sister Rose in census records. This date conforms to her age in census records. As to the name of CLARE, I think she may have just USED that name of her own choosing.)
2. Rossa Gips b. 1-18-1893 Manhattan (This is an EXACT match to her SSDI record.)
3. Netty Schwitkes b. 2-6-1885 Manhattan
4. Charles Schwitkes , age 72, d. 3-1-1933 Kings County
5. Sophie Gibbs, age 64, d. 6-16-1936 Bronx #6064 (Problematic: because this would say she was born about 1872. Her passenger record with her parents would have her born about 1863. In census records she is consistatly younger than her husband. But her husband's age is VERY veriable from census to census: His passenger record has him born 1876, 1905 state census has his born 1860. 1910 censu has him born 1862, 1920 census has him born 1865, and 1930 census has him born 1867. 1860-1862-1865-1867-1876.)

8. Yetta Gibs born 1-23-1901 Kings Co NY. (Yetta is the name of Wolf Gips mother. But we know there were numerous Gips families in NY all at the same time, so no known connection.
