JewishGen.org Discussion Group FAQs
What is the JewishGen.org Discussion Group?
The JewishGen.org Discussion Group unites thousands of Jewish genealogical researchers worldwide as they research their family history, search for relatives, and share information, ideas, methods, tips, techniques, and resources. The JewishGen.org Discussion Group makes it easy, quick, and fun, to connect with others around the world.
Is it Secure?
Yes. JewishGen is using a state of the art platform with the most contemporary security standards. JewishGen will never share member information with third parties.
How is the New JewishGen.org Discussion Group better than the old one?
Our old Discussion List platform was woefully antiquated. Among its many challenges: it was not secure, it required messages to be sent in Plain Text, did not support accented characters or languages other than English, could not display links or images, and had archives that were not mobile-friendly.
This new platform that JewishGen is using is a scalable, and sustainable solution, and allows us to engage with JewishGen members throughout the world. It offers a simple and intuitive interface for both members and moderators, more powerful tools, and more secure archives (which are easily accessible on mobile devices, and which also block out personal email addresses to the public).
I am a JewishGen member, why do I have to create a separate account for the Discussion Group?
As we continue to modernize our platform, we are trying to ensure that everything meets contemporary security standards. In the future, we plan hope to have one single sign-in page.
I like how the current lists work. Will I still be able to send/receive emails of posts (and/or digests)?
Yes. In terms of functionality, the group will operate the same for people who like to participate with email. People can still send a message to an email address (in this case, main@groups.JewishGen.org), and receive a daily digest of postings, or individual emails. In addition, Members can also receive a daily summary of topics, and then choose which topics they would like to read about it. However, in addition to email, there is the additional functionality of being able to read/post messages utilizing our online forum (https://groups.jewishgen.org).
Does this new system require plain-text?
No.
Can I post images, accented characters, different colors/font sizes, non-latin characters?
Yes.
Can I categorize a message? For example, if my message is related to Polish, or Ukraine research, can I indicate as such?
Yes! Our new platform allows members to use “Hashtags.” Messages can then be sorted, and searched, based upon how they are categorized. Another advantage is that members can “mute” any conversations they are not interested in, by simply indicating they are not interested in a particular “hashtag.”
Will all posts be archived?
Yes.
Can I still search though old messages?
Yes. All the messages are accessible and searchable going back to 1998.
What if I have questions or need assistance using the new Group?
Send your questions to: support@JewishGen.org
How do I access the Group’s webpage?
Follow this link: https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main
So just to be sure - this new group will allow us to post from our mobile phones, includes images, accented characters, and non-latin characters, and does not require plain text?
Correct!
Will there be any ads or annoying pop-ups?
No.
Will the current guidelines change?
Yes. While posts will be moderated to ensure civility, and that there is nothing posted that is inappropriate (or completely unrelated to genealogy), we will be trying to create an online community of people who regulate themselves, much as they do (very successfully) on Jewish Genealogy Portal on Facebook.
What are the new guidelines?
There are just a few simple rules & guidelines to follow, which you can read here:https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/guidelines
Thank you in advance for contributing to this amazing online community!
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please email support@JewishGen.org.
Sincerely,
The JewishGen.org Team
Sieniawa families - UPDATE
#galicia
AbeGreenho@...
Hi all,
I spoke to the person I'd thought was named "Aaron Wald", who turned out to be a woman named Leah EHRENWALD, whose married name is STEIN. She claims to remember a great deal about Sieniawa and its residents, and is eager to help. All she asked for in exchange is to help her determine the fate of her five brothers and two sisters with whom she lost contact during the war. I've read that Sieniawa's population was eventually sent to Treblinka. Does anyone know any good resources to check regarding the inmates there? Abe

There have been one or possibly two offensive individuals who were
subscribers to the H-sig list. Any messages that these individuals wrote were subject to acute scrutiny and rarely, if ever, made it to the H-sig message board. However, there is no way to stop foolish or outrageous messages sent by these misanthropic individuals to individuals whose message appears on the list. To the best of my knowledge, the two offenders are no longer part of our subscription list. If we allow one or more individuals to dictate the terms of our submissions based upon their personal biased agendas then they would have succeeded in their distorted mission. It is the responsibility of the moderator to reject personal attacks, or outrageous comments >from being sent out to the entire list. If I have allowed such messages to filter through, please accept my apology to those who were effected. Please don't allow my mistakes to influence your involvement with this group. This is your list, and it was established to provide mutual assistance and assist all those interested in researching their Hungarian Jewish roots. Our group includes novices and experts, Jews and gentiles, individuals who came >from that area recently, and those whose only physical contact with that area is the DNA of an ancestor who arrived here along with Lajos Kossuth after the loss of the 1848 revolution. Other comments and notes: H-sig is receiving some very useful and important messages that have been sent in MIME or HTML format. The Lyris processor used by Jewishgen cannot accept messages in these "languages" and therefore they must be rejected. Please resubmit your messages in "plain" text format only (for Outlook users - go to the format tab to make the change). Another item: In order to have a meaningful outcome for our internal survey on H-sig's Hungarian speakers, I would like to remind those who haven't responded, to please do as soon as possible. To assist you in gauging your Hungarian language skills I have suggested the following guidelines. Feel free to amend them as you need: Regarding Hungarian language skills please indicate the level of fluency in the following manner: Category 1 (lowest level) please write "C". This means you are only conversant in the language. Your speaking ability is such that you can navigate throughout Hungary by yourself without causing a major diplomatic incident. You wouldn't understand very much of a scholarly lecture, and your reading comprehension is limited to a Hungarian version of a Dick and Jane reader. You can spell Satoraljaujhely only because you memorized it. I fit into this category. Category 2 please write "R". This means you have a 6th grade knowledge of Hungarian reading and comprehension. You can understand the entirety of a scholarly lecture except for the "big" words. At one time you were able to speak freely with the vocabulary of a an eleven year old, but now you speak Hungarian with your some of your friends and acquaintances, especially when attending religious services. If you regularly speak with your wife in Hungarian, then give yourself an "R" plus. "R" stands for rusty. "R+" means rusty, but well oiled. Category 3 please write "F": This means fluent - Hungarian is your "mother tongue". You speak, read and write the language better than you do English or any other language. You may not know the meaning of every Hungarian word, but the same applies to those of us who consider ourselves fluent in English. Category 4, the highest level, please write "P"- You are a graduate of a Hungarian university, or have at least, a master's degree in that language from any university in the world. You may also be a professional translator.I only know of one subscriber in our group who is a profession translator, and that is my good friend Peter Gergay; however, I don't doubt that there are others as well. "P" stands for professional ("P+" means that your Hungarian language skills have brought you riches and fame - see Zsa Zsa Gabor) While we are conducting surveys, I thought it might be interesting for all of us to know how many of our 500 plus subscribers live outside of North America, and in which countries they reside. Again the information will only be reported on a statistical basis and no individuals or individual e-mail addresses will be displayed. Another reminder: there are several outstanding projects and voluntary assignments that have been undertaken by individuals and groups within Hsig. Please e-mail me privately with an update as to the status of your project and a reasonably fair estimate of when you think the work will be complete. One final matter: if you know that you didn't include your full name (in addition to your e-mail address) on the subscription form for H-sig, please send me a private e-mail. Jewishgen rules require that full and true names be included on all the subscription applications. My e-mail is Lmagyar@... or schonfeld@...

Re: Post 1895 Records
#hungary
Michele Sankar <sankosy@...>
Hi -
If I understand correctly, the post-1895 records are available to us. If that is so, is it only the ones prior to 100 years ago (i.e. to 1901)? Is that an FHC "rule" or a Hungarian archive "rule"? Do we have to know the region in which an event took place? Would the Hungarian National Archives have this info? I would like to find out about a marriage that took place in approximately 1912, give or take 1 year. Besides the names of the bride and groom and that the wedding was in Hungary, I know nothing else about the city or anything else. Is it worth writing to the archives for this, or must I wait another 11 years?! Many thanks. Sincerely, Michele Sankar Richmond Hill, ON
