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

Hello, friends:
I could use your help in translating the Hebrew on the tombstones of my three great grandparents. They're each only one line, so I don't suspect this will be any great effort.

Re: Passenger Lists for Rhode Island Ports
#general
Peter Zavon <pzavon@...>
It would have been helpful had you said *when* your uncle arrived, even if
only to the nearest decade. There was no "Port of Rhode Island" although there may have been a port in Rhode Island. All surviving official passenger lists are on microfilm at the US National Archives in Washington, DC., and, I believe, also that the Branch Archives in Pittsfield, MA. The films for ports in New England, which includes Rhode Island, will also be at the ranch Archives in Waltham. The Mormon Family History Centers can borrow many different microfilms, including copies of these, >from their Family History Library. They are then made available for your use in the Family History Center. For Providence, RI, Passenger lists are on film for the period >from 17 June 1911- Jan 1943. There is an alphabetical index to passengers arriving at Providence covering 18 June 1911 to 5 Oct 1954. There are also book indexes to the Providence Passenger Lists covering 13 Dec 1911 - 26 June 1934. There are also Customs Passenger lists for Bristol and Warren, RI for 1820-1871 and for Providence for 1820-1867. Their names are part of a larger index covering 19th century arrivals at Great Lakes, Atlantic and Gulf Coast lists (Expect NYC) The above is based on a 23-year old compilation >from the National archives, so some additional materials may have been added. Peter Zavon Penfield, NY PZAVON@... "Todd Lerner" <tlernerdds@...> wrote My Uncle came to the US through the Port of Rhode Island via the Fabre Line. Does anyone know how to obtain the Passenger lists for this port? Todd Lerner

Re: Schillimore/Schillemore
#unitedkingdom

Interestingly there is a Councillor Sarah Schillemore of East Hampshire District Council (near Portsmouth) who declares in the Minutes below http://www.easthants.gov.uk/ehdc/committee2000.nsf/0/9B75BD9571E4469B8025708900326EE4/$File/DOMO6GMCS7.doc that she is a member of a particular church. Of course, it doesn't mean that the family was never Jewish - and the councillor could be married to a man of Jewish origin. Doing a search on Schillemore I found the following link http://genforum.genealogy.com/schildt/messages/28.html which contained the following: "I have been trying to find out the origin of my family name with no success. So far all the Schillemore's in the World are related to one man who appeared in Portsmouth England about 1780. Can any one offer suggestions as to where I can search." That was in 2002 and there have been no follow-ups. If this is true then I would have thought that one needs to trace that man's origins - which are quite likely lost in the mists of time - unless you have the BBC genealogy programme (mainly related to well-known people in the UK) Who Do You Think You Are working for you.

NEW: LIbrary & Archives Canada immigration databases
#poland
Donna Dinberg <blacknus@...>
Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to announce the launch of
"Traces of the Past", a new component of the virtual exhibition "Moving Here, Staying Here: the Canadian Immigrant Experience". You are invited to visit the site at: http://www.collectionscanada.ca/immigrants. Funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage through its Canadian Culture Online initiative, the site uses documents held at LAC to tell the exciting story of immigration to Canada >from the early 19th century to the outbreak of the Second World War. As well as learning first hand the trials of immigration through narratives enhanced by manuscripts, publications and visual material, you are encouraged to find your own family's history through the databases of digitized documents ... such as passenger lists and muster rolls ... that are provided. In collaboration with the Canadian Genealogy Centre, LAC is pleased to offer the following research tools, all of which include digitized images of documents: Passenger Lists http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/passenger/index-e.html Passenger lists (RG 76) were the official immigration documents >from 1865 to 1935. The lists contain information such as the name, age, country of origin, occupation and destination of each passenger. The lists are organized by port and date of arrival. This database provides access to passenger lists for the ports of Quebec (1865-1921); Halifax (1881-1912, and soon to 1922); Saint John (1900-1912); North Sydney (1906-1908); Vancouver (1905-1912); and Victoria (1905 to 1912 shortly). The Ward Chipman Papers http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/ward-chipman/index-e.html Ward Chipman the Elder (1754-1824), a Massachusetts lawyer, was also an army administrator in the State of New York between 1777 and 1783. In 1784, he settled in New Brunswick where he served as solicitor general until 1808. The Ward Chipman Papers contain muster rolls of Loyalists, and their families, who were members of demobilized regiments and who settled in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This research tool provides access to nearly 19,000 references to Loyalist families. The Likacheff-Ragosine-Mathers Collection (LI-RA-MA) http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/li-ra-ma/index-e.html The Likacheff-Ragosine-Mathers collection (LI-RA-MA) contains documents created between 1898 and 1922 by the Canadian consular offices of the Tsarist Russian Empire. The series on passports and identity papers (many with photos) contains approximately 11,400 files on Jewish, Ukrainian and Finnish immigrants who came to Canada >from the Russian Empire. Also included are passport applications and questionnaires containing general information. Nearly half the database is now available online, with the rest to be added soon. The contributions of many LAC staff were instrumental in the success of this project, and their efforts are much appreciated.

I would be very grateful if a kind researcher is able to translate these
documents which were obtained through use of the LDS films made available at the IAJGS Conference this summer. My thanks to those who arranged the availability of these films. I am interested in all details of information in these documents but will certainly appreciate any efforts which are made.
