Slovakia Revisited

I drove back to Kotesova, Slovakia last weekend. I didn’t have time to explore last time. I figured this was my last chance before the snow to take some pictures. Below is a selection of photos from the cemetery/graveyard, I found last time. I cleared a few headstones covered with leaves, but as you can see a lot of work is needed to reclaim it. I spend about an hour there, just taking pictures and walking around.
I have written a couple of emails to:
http://www.slovak-jewish-heritage.org/
and
http://www.menorah.sk/
No response yet. What next? I don’t know.

    You can try http://jewishgen.org On the Hungary mailing list there are several people with ancestors in Kotesova (including me). Since there were fewer than 200 jews there in the late 1800's, chances are we're all related somehow. I would love to see the pictures you took of the gravestones. I am just seeing a slideshow with pictures too small to see anything. Thanks for your posts!
