DOCUMENT: rosenthal-albert-and-naomi-brock-graves-1961-and-1977.jpg

NOTES:

• This is a photograph of the gravestone of Albert Rosenthal and Naomi (Brock) Rosenthal [Harold's parents].
• Here's the information about Albert's grave from JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR), copied from ancestry.ca:

  JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR)
  
  Name: 	Albert Rosenthal
  Birth Date: 	15 Sep 1890
  Death Date: 	14 Jun 1961
  Age at Death: 	70
  Burial Plot: 	B12
  Burial Place: 	East Haven, Connecticut, United States
  Spouse Name: 	Naomi
  Father Name: 	Aryeh Pesach Hacohen
  Cemetery: 	Jewish Peoples Cemetery Association
  Cemetery Address: 	Victor Street
  Cemetery Burials: 	89
  

• The JOWBR record above for Albert's tombstone says "Father Name: Aryeh Pesach Hacohen".
• I used Reading Hebrew Tombstones and Hebrew Alphabet to try to understand what the Hebrew on the tombstone says.
• On Albert's stone, after the characters for "son of" it looks like the following Hebrew letters:

  alef, beit, reish, hei, mem, [space], pei, samekh, cheit

  So the first name of Albert's father looks like Avram or Abraham. And the second one might well be Pesach?
• As for Albert's name, this looks like the following Hebrew letters

  aleph, lamed, teit, ayin, reish, [space], yod, tzadei, cheit, qof,

• So I believe the Hebrew part above the English says:

  HERE LIES
  ALTER YITZHAK SON OF ABRAHAM PESACH

• (This was confirmed by translating from English to Hebrew in Google Translate.)
• Re: the word "Hacohen" included in the JOWBR record above, "Reading Hebrew Tombstones" lists this among the "common Hebrew words which appear on tombstones" and says it means "The Cohen."
• Here's the information about Naomi's grave from JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR), copied from ancestry.ca:

  JewishGen Online Worldwide Burial Registry (JOWBR)
  
  Name: 	Naomi Rosenthal
  Birth Date: 	19 Aug 1891
  Death Date: 	25 Oct 1977
  Age at Death: 	86
  Burial Plot: 	B11
  Burial Place: 	East Haven, Connecticut, United States
  Spouse Name: 	Albert
  Father Name: 	Fival
  Cemetery: 	Jewish Peoples Cemetery Association
  Cemetery Address: 	Victor Street
  Cemetery Burials: 	89
  

• Here's my attempt to look at the Hebrew on Naomi's tombstone. The part after "daughter of" looks like the following Hebrew characters(?):

  Reish?, space, pei, yod, yod, vav?, vav?, ?

• Does this look like "Feivel"? Translating Feivel into Hebrew using Google Translate, you get a word where the first 3 letters look right but not the rest.
• The website behindthename.com shows a Yiddish version of Feivel, and all but one letter look the same as on Naomi's part of the gravestone.
• So I believe the Hebrew on Naomi's tombstone says:

  HERE LIES
  NAOMI DAUGHTER OF [FEIVEL?]
