Fundamental parameters and physical processes leading to the formation ofwhite dwarfs (WDs) may be constrained and refined by discovering WDs in openclusters (OCs). Cluster membership can be utilized to establish the precisedistances, luminosities, ages, and progenitor masses of such WDs. We compile alist of probable WDs that are OC members in order to facilitate WD studies thatare impractical or difficult to conduct for Galactic field WDs. We use recentcatalogs of WDs and OCs that are based on the second data release of the\textit{Gaia} satellite mission (GDR2) to identify WDs that are OC members.This crossmatch is facilitated by the astrometric and photometric datacontained in GDR2 and the derived catalogs. Assuming that most of the WDmembers are of the DA type, we estimate the WD masses, cooling ages, andprogenitor masses. We have detected several new likely WD members andreassessed the membership of the literature WDs that had been previouslyassociated with the studied OCs. Several of the recovered WDs fall into therecently reported discontinuity in the initial-final mass relation (IFMR)around $M_{i} \sim 2.0 M_{\odot}$, which allows for tighter constrains on theIFMR in this regime.
