Several of my ancestors are buried there. ...Hi Ed,<br /><br />Several of my ancestors are buried there. Congregation Beth El-Emeth broke away from Mikveh Israel under the leadership of Isaac Leeser (1806-1868). In 1895, Beth El-Emeth turned the property over to Mikveh Israel.<br /><br />My 3-great-grandfather, Herman Van Beil broke away from Mikveh Israel with Lesser. Herman was from the Netherlands and arrived in Philadelphia in 1820 at the age of 21. He was very involved in his congregation and many benevolent societies. He passed away Dec.26, 1865. <br /><br />I've always wanted to go visit, but just like you said and what is true for Spruce Street Burial Ground (established in 1740)and the Federal Street burial grounds,purchased in 1841, I'd have to contact Mikveh Israel to set up a time to get in.<br /><br />Thank you for highlighting Mikveh Israel, my ancestors are smiling on you.<br /><br />Sue F.I Luv2Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351684746727645950noreply@blogger.com
