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

Minutes #1

Dear fellow Yankee Doodle Genealogists,
My name is Marvin Calo Weinberg and I am the coordinator of the Early American SIG. Here is a quick report of the Birds of a Feather (BOF) Meeting at the International Conference in DC. After the members introduced themselves, we talked about how to find passenger list information. Some of the suggestions were: Look into pre 1892 passenger lists for NY. (Helene Kenven) Develop a bibliography for Dutch to America and perhaps an index. Suggested getting John P. Coletta to speak or purchase his tape on Early American ships coming to the US. (He gave a lecture on that topic at the conference.) Comparing 1880 Census with City Directories and DAR Library's passenger lists. Hamburg passenger lists when they become available for the mid 1900's. We are fortunate to have John Paul Lowens volunteer as Moderator. He is probably the most qualified person in the Jewish Gen world, and has experience with the German Sig. He encouraged all in attendance to subscribe to the Early American Sig Forum. For help with subscriptions or other technical questions about the Early American SIG membership and mailings contact John at: GerSig@... Kathy Wallach (Kwallach@...) offered to collect sources for pre 1880 ship arrivals. If you have any suggestions or know any sources, please email Kathy. Perhaps the most exciting suggestion was a bibliography of documentation of Jewish communities in America prior to 1880. This could come from books, cemetery and congregation records, Jewish newspapers, etc. A discussion of where to look for more information followed. I am doing some preliminary research on what exists to see how we can consider this as a project. More on that later. Finally I want to thank the lady who volunteered to take the minutes of the Birds of a Feather Meeting. Without her help I wouldn't have been able to give you this report. If she would send me her name, I would like to put it in my next posting. Postscript: There were 2 volunteers that came to me after the meeting to offer help on an Early American list of Jewish names >from books or organizations that they knew of. I hope that these volunteers will encourage other to do the same. We can only contribute to the future of Early American Jewish Genealogy by each of us doing his or her part. Marvin Calo Weinberg White Plains, NY Early American Sig Coordinator. "If God were planning a family reunion, we'd be making out the guest list"

Because there are duplicate names, knowing the approximate date of birth or death would be helpful. One caveat: I knew the name of the landsmanschaften in whose section the relatives were buried.

Shopher Surname
#france
C Jones <shopher2003@...>
I'm not sure I'm in the right spot but I'm writing to
both lists. Here's my dilema: My mother's maiden name is Shopher. I have been able to trace this to a Frederick Shopher in Hardeman County Tennessee in 1850. He also appears on the 1830. Sometimes as Shofer or Shoffer. According to the 1850 census, he was born 1795 .... France. Now depending on who I talk to the name Shopher derives >from the Hebrew word shofar. Then I'm told no it probably >from Schopfer, the german word I think was told means "the creator". Is there anyone that can tell me, if this name is Hebrew or German. It doesn't appear to be French. Or should I just consider the name Frebrewman....lol (French, Hebrew and German). (I hope I didn't type a bad word when I combined them....that would be embarassing.) Seriously though, I would appreciate any help from anyone that can help me find where this name originated from. Since I don't know his father's name, I don't know if he came to America with his family or if he arrived with his father/mother. I find alot of variant spellings on passenger lists but they all arrived in Pennsylvania which stumps me since I'm still stuck in Tennessee with Frederick. Thank you for your time, Carol Jones city/state/country MODERATOR: Please include your full name as well as your location.

SCHNEEBERGER Family of Pfaffenhoffen, Alsace
#france
Ralph Baer <RalphNBaer@...>
I am a descendant of Raphael (Fole, Volen) Lehmann who adopted the name
SCHNEEBERG (later SCHNEEBERGER) in 1808 and his wife Fromet (Sara) Meyer LEVY. Raphael was born in 1734 in Pfaffenhoffen in Alsace and died there on 21 March 1811. Fromet was born in 1740 in Neuwiller les Saverne and died in Pfaffenhoffen on 2 June 1829. Almost all of the places named in this message are in Alsace. Raphael's parents were Lehmann (Leime, Jochanon) Baruch and apparently Breinel. There is some uncertainty as to which of Lehmann's apparently three wives was Raphael's mother. The other two were named Kehle and Zerle Jacob. Lehmann's father was named Baruch (Borich, Barouch). Baruch died between 1733 and 1750. He was born prior to 1665. Fromet's father was Meyer Elie LEVY who was married to Keyle Isaac. Keyle was probably not Fromet's mother. They lived in Neuwiller les Saverne. I am very interested in obtaining any information on earlier ancestors of these people. The following are Raphael and Fromet's children: 1) Breinel (Breindel) Raphael (Sara SCHNEEBERGER) about 1758 Pfaffenhoffen - 21 October 1845 Niederbronn, married 10 July 1777 Pfaffenhoffen to Meyer LEVI about 1754 Niederbronn - 13 April 1796 Niederbronn, trader 2) Zipher Raphael (Sara SCHNEEBERGER) about 1761 Pfaffenhoffen - 5 February 1823 Soultz-sous-Foret, married to Koschel Alexandre (Moise HEYMANN) about 1758 Soultz-sous-Foret - 28 March 1837 Soultz-sous-Foret. 3) Elias Raphael about 1762 Pfaffenhoffen, married 4 May 1791 Pfaffenhoffen to Scheinel (Regine) LEWI Marmoutier, moved to Strasbourg in 1816 or 1817 4) Beyle Raphael Pfaffenhoffen, married 18 August 1787 Pfaffenhoffen to Joseph Abraham Wingersheim 5) Dinel (Esther, Aester) Raphael about 1766 Pfaffenhoffen - 31 May 1831 Pfaffenhoffen, married 16 November 1795 Pfaffenhoffen to Schmulen (Samuel) Isaac KLEIN 1751 Pfaffenhoffen - 19 April 1846 Ribeauville, cattle trader; Samuel's first wife was Anna (Hanna, Henriette) LEVY 6) Loewel (Loeb) Raphael (Leopold SCHNEEBERG) 28 February 1769 Pfaffenhoffen - 22 October 1842 Pfaffenhoffen, tradesman, married 1. to Fromet LEWI (probably not a wife but incorrectly entered as this was the name of his mother), married 2. to Jefen (Jette) Salomon (Ester BLUM) 4 May 1773 Weinberg - 6 August 1817 Pfaffenhoffen, married 3. 11 December 1817 Pfaffenhoffen to Rosalie (Rosine, Rahel) ROOS 22 June 1785 Hochfelden 7) Baruch Raphael Pfaffenhoffen 8) Lehmann Raphael about 1767 Pfaffenhoffen 9) Kain Raphael Pfaffenhoffen 10) Schoenle (Schoenel, Jeannette, Johanna) Raphael about 1774 Pfaffenhoffen - 13 September 1848 Malsch bei Ettlingen Baden, married to Seligmann Joseph KLEIN 4 May 1751 Sulzbach in der Oberpfalz - 17 June 1822 Joehlingen Baden, cantor and school teacher. These were my third great-grandparents. I am interested in adding to my knowledge of the descendants of these people. I have, of course, not included all of the descnedants that I do know about. Lehmann Baruch's known children were: (there probably were others) 1) Jacob Jochanon (mother ?) Pfaffenhoffen, married 4 September 1748 Schwindratzheim to Rickel Isaac WEYL Valff 2) Raphael (Fole, Volen, Fohle) Lehmann SCHNEEBERG (see above) 3) Beyle Jochanon (mother Keyle) Pfaffenhoffen, married 7 July 1761 Surbourg to Samuel (Sanvill) Raphael KAHN Ruelzheim 4) Meyer Lehmann (mother ?) Pfaffenhoffen - before 1771, married 19 January 1763 Pfaffenhoffen to Brendele Nathan Scherwiller. Brendele remarried to Borach LEVY of Froeningue in 1771. Brendele was still in Froeningue in 1784 Known children of Meyer Elie LEVY and his unknown wife: 1) Fromet (Sara) Meyer LEVY (see above) 2) Guttel Meyer LEVY (Sophie MEYER) 1744 Neuwiller, living in 1808 in Neuwiller, married 6 March 1764 Neuwiller to Naftaly (Hirschel) Joseph 1727 Minversheim - between 1784 and 1808 Neuwiller, retail merchant 3) Arje (Juda, Leib) Meyer LEVY Neuwiller, married 1 February 1770 Neuwiller to Gelle Eliezer LEVY Niederbronn 4) Beile Meyer LEVY 1744 Neuwiller, married 1. 7 November 1764 Oberbronn to Nesanel (Samuel) KAHN Oberbronn - before 1773, married 2. 24 February 1773 Ingwiller to Marx (Mordekhay) Siessel BRAUNSCHWEIG 1740 Hegenheim, retail merchant 5) Dina Meyer LEVY (Cecile MEYER) Neuwiller, living in 1784 and 1808 in Haguenau, married 8 March 1753 Pfaffenhoffen to Aron Meir MOCH Haguenau - between 1784 and 1804, teacher I am interested in data on the descendants of all of these people. I am not listing here the names of Baruch's known children, but their families, of course, also interest me. Ralph N. BAER Washington, DC RalphNBaer@...

My grandfather was Jacob PANKIEWICZ. He was born in Warszawa ( or maybe
moved there with his family >from a different town as a child). Jacob's father Alter Meir PANKIEWICZ, was married to Chana ACKERMANN. Jacob's Grandfather ( my GGF) was called Shmuel ( Szmul ? ) PANKIEWICZ. My GF came to Israel/Palestine in 1905 or so, was one of the first settlers in the Merhavia coperative, and afterwards brought both his parents from Poland to Israel. Does that ring a bell to anyone? I would appreciate any information about the PANKIEWICZ family. Thanks, Omri Arnon Israel
