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

Aimee Jones <just_a_girl1999@...>
Hello,
My great-grandmother is alive and living in Liverpool, England, I am only 18. She was born on July 18th 1918 in Stettin, Germany which is now Szczecin, Poland. She was 17 when she had my grandmother, who was 25 when she had my mother, who was 23 when she had me, so all the generations had children young! Her mother was born Louise Calis (unsure of spelling, this is what my grandmother's aunt thinks) and was married twice, once to a man named Otto Sprenger and once to Fritz Kohn. I can't trace it any further back than this, and I can't even find documentary evidence of this, only what my grandmother and her aunt can remember. My great-grandmother claims to remember nothing of her life before she entered England, so I can't ask her anything. The only information I know of the maternal line is that ultimately it came >from Persia and then Spain/Italy and finally Germany, however, this is just hearsay and sounds a bit clichéd. Thanks very much, Ms. A. Jones, Scotland

New AGAD Archives Project Status Report
#poland
Willie46@...
The AGAD Archives project is unveiling a new and improved
Project Status Report. This report will provide the information researchers need to track the indexing of Jewish vital records for 86 Administrative towns in East Galicia. Edward Rosenbaum, already the webmaster for the Belarus SIG and President of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Bergen County (New Jersey), has volunteered to be webmaster for the AGAD project. Ed has done a fantastic job to develop this user friendly status report for 86 Galician towns that make up the AGAD project. You can find the new Status Report at <http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/agad/agadtowns.html> or through "town" and "table" links on the AGAD homepage <http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/agad/index.htm> and the Great Galician Indexing Race page <http://www.jewishgen.org/jri-pl/galicia/index.htm>. The page is organized alphabetically by the current name of the 86 Galician towns (83 of the towns are currently in Ukraine and 3 in Poland). The table summarizes the records available for indexing, the current status of funding, and the current status of indexing. Clicking on the town name provides more details, including links to the Town Leader, Yizkor Book translations, ShtetLink sites, Surname lists, and Research groups, if available. I would like to thank Edward Rosenbaum for his dedicated efforts to bring Galician researchers a better resource to track progress about their towns. Edward plans to update this status report every week or two, so check back often. Mark Halpern AGAD Archives Coordinator

Help with Polish words

In Polish records I just received >from Salt Lake City I have come across
a few problems I hope you can help me with: 1. I find two different words for teacher: Bakalarz and Szkolnik. Is there a difference - if yes, which? 2. In a D record >from Lublin 1843 I read: died Rubin GRADEL, born and living in Lublin "Zonaty Dzielny Duchowny" age 51, son of ... etc. Zonaty(married) dzielny(district) Duchowny?? My dictionary says the word has to do with clergy. In this context could it mean district synagogue? Or that his marriage (abt. 1815-20 judging >from the age of him and his children) is recorded in the district church register? Thanks Kirsten Gradel, Denmark

Litvinoff/Michelsen - Odessa

Anne Moore <Ja.Moore@...>
My grandparents, Maksim and Rosa Litvinoff (nee Michelsen) arrived in
London >from Odessa in 1913. They had four sons: Abraham (Alfred) - my father, Emmanual, Pinchus and Barnet. Maksim returned to Russia to fight in the First World War and never returned to England. He was last seen running for the boat to bring him back to his family. Can anyone throw any light on what happened to him? My father believed that some of his family had emigrated >from Odessa to South America. Perhaps Maksim followed them there. I'd be interested to hear if any other researchers know of any Litvinoffs in Odessa. Regards Anne Moore Researching: LITVINOFF and MICHELSEN: Odessa
