Rabinowitch and Robbins deaths in JewishGen burial registry

An email update about Washington DC death records from the Tracing the Tribe blog this morning got me looking at the JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry for the first time. I couldn't find Harrison Cannold, my first search, but then I tried Rabinowitz in New York, and hit a small mother lode.

Below are the burial records for Joseph and Lena Rabinowitch (note the spelling), their son Julius and his wife Annie (nee Cohen), and their son Abner Robbins and his wife Judith.

The Joseph record does not include any information on his parentage, but I am confident that a visit to his gravesite in Plot 10R 5 at Mt. Carmel Cemetery Queens, NY, will confirm that he was the son of Chaim, and possibly reveal other interesting information. The burial dates indicate that Joseph and Lena lived to age 85 and 86, respectively, and that they both outlived their son Walter, who we know died by suicide in 1939.

The information on Julius, Annie, Abner and Judith gives us another likely avenue for identifying new living close relatives. Our other best possibility for living descendants of Joseph and Lena is Harrison Cannold. We don't know yet what became of him after the war or if he married or had any children.

Here are the various death records I discovered today:
