Surnames
223 surnames of Mountain Jewish families, taken from the inscriptions of the Quba cemetery — with years, numbers of graves and a page for each surname.
The index is built from the inscriptions themselves: 223 family names, in men's and women's forms, with the Hebrew spelling wherever the stone gives it.
The names also carry the father's name: 389 patronymics and 282 alternative spellings are recorded in the catalogue.
Each surname has its own page listing the graves that carry it. If a name from your family is missing, you can send it to the museum — this catalogue grows from families, not from guesses.
This is a short version of the section. The full text — with documents, dates and sources — is in Russian.
The English text is a museum translation; it has not yet been checked by an English-language editor.
