I came across your website while researching my genealogy. My grandmother was Rebecca Harkavy. She was born in Novardok.
I have a number of pictures that you'd probably find interesting.
I'm attaching a picture of my grandmother in front of a grave.
I'm trying to figure out how she's related to the person who died December 17, 1917, according to the gravestone.
