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

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc (according to Encarta Encyclopedia). Pewter was often made with lead - but tableware, at least today, has tin instead of lead. It turns out that crystal is the worst common source of lead in food products. If you keep wine in a lead crystal decanter, throw it out! Copper is also poisonous. My family were coppersmiths, and I have a copper tea set that my gr grandfather made. The teapot was lined with another metal (tin as I remember, but I could be wrong-but a white metal). It is not usable today unless I had it relined. Sally Bruckheimer Chatham, NJ MODERATOR NOTE: Responses to this thread with clear genealogical relevance will be considered for posting.

I wanted to closed the discussion about the names Feitje and Fietje in Holland and give a answer to Nick Landau about this names. Feitje is derived >from the Yiddish-German name Fegele or Vogele. We don't find this name in Dutch name books. Fietje is a short form of the name Sofia (Sophia) . Sofia - Sofietje - Fietje. If you look in every Dutch name book you find this explanation about Sofia / Fietje. I look into " Prisma Voor-namen" a dictionary of given names by J.van der Schaar, Het Spectrum 1992 Utrecht, on page 329. Best regards Ury Link Amsterdam Holland

Barbara,
The town you seek is Modliborzyce (in Yiddish pronounced Mozelboszhitz) and is located in the Lublin region. I am not familiar with Bordelakes, but perhaps it is in the vicinity of Modliborzyce. Good luch, Meyer Denn meyersdenn@ev1.net Los Angeles, CA From: "Barbara Mannlein" <bsmannlein@comcast.net> Date: Sun, 14 Nov 2004 22:04:05 -0700 A newly found relative raised in Uruguay and now living in Israel reported that her grandmother was born in Bordelakes (Poland). I have never heard of this, Google search comes up negative, Shtetl seeker comes up with 4 towns which don't seem right. And her grandfather was reported to have been born in Modlebojitcz (Poland). Again, I have never heard of this town, and both Google and the Shtetl Seeker do not provide any leads. Any ideas what these towns are?
