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

www.1837online.com Be prepared for some small niggles in that it does not take more than the first 3 letters of a surname as a search criterion. You also have to pay a small fee per page opened.

ETSI issue 32
#general
laurphil@...
Issue 32 of ETSI, the Sephardi Genealogical and Historical Review, has just
been published. As in each issue, articles are written in French or English, with a large summary in the other language. The main article, in English, is written by Nechama Kramer-Hellinx, about the life of her grandfather Rabbi Menahem Shemuel Halevy, Chief Rabbi of Hamadan (Iran), who emigrated to the Promise Land in 1922 with a few other families. The history of Sol Hachuel (1820-1834) is well known to Moroccan Jews. This young Jewish girl of Tangier was beheaded after having been accused to abnegate Islam, remaining faithful to Judaism. A document dated 1880 written by her nephew reveals new lights on the consequences of this drama on her family. A pilgrimage of 1888 at the ancient synagogue Ben Ezra of Cairo is described in detail by an Alliance school director. Laurence Abensur-Hazan gives numerous unpublished data about the Allatini family of Salonika. Three books are reviewed: "Smyrne et l'Occident, de l'Antiquité au XXIe siècle", by L. Contente; "Rechercher ses ancêtres juifs" by L. Abensur-Hazan; and "Smyrne la ville oubliée? 1830-1930, Mémoires d'un grand port ottoman", directed by C. Smyrnelis.

IAJGS Conference - Eastern European Jews in the Archives of Central Asia and much more
#general
Gloria Berkenstat Freund
A series of lectures of particular interest to Russian emigrant communities
will be given at the annual conference of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, >from Sunday, August 13th to Friday, August 18th, 2006 at the New York Marriott Marquis. The lectures, organized by Valery Bazarov, the director of the HIAS Location and Family History Service and member of the JGS Executive Council, will also be of great interest to other genealogists. These lectures include: * * * Records of Eastern European Jews in the Archives of Central Asia Of particular interest to those with ancestry in Poland, this lecture given by Saidjon and Nafisa Kurbanov, will discuss how to research the thousands of Polish Jews who were deported or exiled to Central Asia, as well as the thousands of Jews in Nazi occupied areas who fled to this region during the Second World War. * * * A Search of Jewish Roots in a Communist Country Leonid Leites will discuss the difficulties he met and overcame in his search for his ancestors under the Communist regime in the USSR. * * * The Search for Roots of Ashkenazi Jews Outside the Pale Aaron Khaskevitch researched the Jews who lived outside of the Pale of Settlement in the Caucasus Area -- the craftsmen, tailors and distillers. They were given the equivalent of "worker's visas" and were all registered with the police. When their visas and permits expired, the process of deportation began. Lists were assembled of those to be deported. Research conducted in police archives of Tbilisi, Georgia produced interesting data about the history of Ashkenazi Jews of that region. * * * Through Russia's Turbulent Times Dmitriy Margulis will share his experience in creating the history of the seven generations of one Jewish family that reflected the life of the entire Russian Jewish community -- through the 20th Century. Mr. Margulis will also discuss the little known genealogical sources hidden in well-known archives. To register for the Conference and to read more about these lectures and the lecturers, visit the Conference website at www.jgsny2006.org Gloria Berkenstat Freund 26th Annual IAJGS Conference Program Committee Chair

Last month I called the Machpelah Cemetery's Manhattan office
(718-366-5959) and was told that 2 of my CAHN/KAHN relatives are buried in Gate 23- Bnai Jischri Lef. But because I could not provide dates of death, she was not able to give me names/dates of any other relatives there. So I need someone who is going there anyway to check the burials next to these 2 graves. If anyone is willing to help, please contact me privately -- I can provide a few details, and I don't want to send more than one volunteer on this mission of mercy.
