The fragments have been cleaned, numbered, photographed and stored in a storage room in Kutno, awaiting a proper moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat moment came, in mid-2008, when a new group of descendants of Jews from Kutno was formed. Using\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecomputer-scanned pictures of the fragments, it was possible to put together nearly half of them into 159 more or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eless complete gravestones (matzevot). Among these, only a small part displayed a family name, as was usual on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ematzevot of that time (family names were enforced on Polish Jews at the beginning of the 19th century). For the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emost part, they displayed only the name of the deceased, that of his or her father, and the date of death. Comparing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe matzeva data with that of our genealogical database, it was possible to recover some of the missing information\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand especially the family names.
