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

It is indeed a wonderful resource (also available as a replica edition in hardcover). having it online, with indexing, is fantastic, too.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
but i would caution people to be careful with the online version, as it would seem that at least some of the indexing is faulty: one of the few passages in the book that i am familiar with is the article on mezo"tu'r, page 597, which happens to coincidentally mention my grandfather and his brother as the "epstein testverek 500 holdas mintagazdasaga". they seem to appear in the online version's index as "epstein izidor, minigazdasag vezeto", which is somewhat wide of the mark. as is the case with any research, it is always best to check back with the source document whenever possible. tom klein, toronto ps. maybe one day someone will convert the page images to text (a monumental task), the way that the 1913 jewish encyclopedia was done, so that we could read and search the text itself...

Valery Bazarov, HIAS- Guest Speaker at JGSCV Meeting- November 15, 2006
#general
jan meisels allen <janmallen@...>
The Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County
(JGSCV) is delighted to announce its November program: "Genealogist As Detective: Solving Mysteries Using HIAS Case Files." Valery Bazarov, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)— Location and Family History Service, will be guest speaker at a special mid-week, evening meeting, Wednesday, November 15, 2006. The meeting is co-sponsored with and will be held at Temple Adat Elohim, Thousand Oaks, CA. Valery will speak on HIAS activity >from the first flood of the Eastern European Jews in the 1880s, to rescuing the last Jews of Iraq during the recent conflict— HIAS has been instrumental in bringing about four million Jews to the US. HIAS played a major role in the organized rescue operation during the Holocaust working in the territories occupied by the Nazis, in bringing the thousands of Jews displaced after the war and the massive exodus of the Soviet Jewry in 1970s. By using case studies, with the help of archival documents, Valery will discuss the scope of HIAS and YIVO archives "where to go for what" and that reconnecting with family past becomes possible. It will be demonstrated along the way that genealogy and detective investigation have more than superficial similarity. Along with the demonstration of the case studies the scope of HIAS and YIVO archives will be shown to acquaint the audience with “where to go for what”. Valery Bazarov a Russian emigre, born in 1942, immigrated to the United States in 1988. He holds two graduate degrees >from Odessa State University (1969) and Hunter College of the City University of New York (1994). Valery Bazarov joined the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society in 1988 and over the next decade assisted the arrival of more than 200,000 Jewish refugees who came to the United States under HIAS auspices. Valery is currently responsible for the HIAS Location and Family History Service, helping immigrants of different generations to find family members and friends – often in other countries – whom they lost contact with over the years, sometimes, decades. He is especially committed to finding and honoring the heroes who rescued European Jews during the Holocaust. Valery also researches HIAS history and presents his findings in lectures and publications. He is a frequent lecturer at the international seminars on Jewish genealogy talking about HIAS activities and projects. He is also traveling to Eastern Europe (Poland and Ukraine) where he is working in various archives and locating documents related directly to HIAS activities, spanning the last 100 years. Meeting Date, Time, Location: The meeting is being held on a special evening, Wednesday, November 15, 2006 7:30-9:30 p.m. Temple Adat Elohim 2420 E. Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA All are welcome and there is no charge to attend the meeting. During the meeting there will be call for nominations >from the floor to serve on the JGSCV Board of Directors.

I have found that the listings for Groner and Grimer and Gruener are definitely the same family as my Gruners. Are they likely to be or may possibly be variations of the same name and same family?

Re: Zulty
#lithuania
Ann Rabinowitz <annrab@...>
It is a good idea to check the resources on JewishGen and elsewhere
before posting an inquiry and other Internet resources. You would have found: 1. Zulty family who lived in Gombin, Poland according to an old registry book: Jonas, 1842, Chaim Mayer, 1862, Sender, 1865, and Mortka, 1868. 2. Leon Zulty, arriving >from Hamberg to NY, August 24, 1906, on the SS Batavia, male, age 18, single >from Kalisch, Russia which is now Kalisz, Poland, located near Lodz. 3. Zulty is the Polish word for yellow. 4. According to Alexander Beider, the family name of Zulty or Zolty comes from Poland >from the towns of: Kolno, Mazowieck, Sierpc, Konskie, Opoczno,Wielun, Rawa, Nowo-Radomsk, Wloclawek, and Lowicz. It may be that the Zulty family in the Vilna Ghetto may have originally been of Polish origin and lived for a short time in Lithuania/Poland. 5. There was a Philip Zulty, born February 27, 1899, in Russia, whose mother was Emma Zulty, who lived in Chicago in 1918. Also, an Adolph Zulty, who lived in Baltimore, MD, in 1930, and whose parents were >from Poland. 6. The JGS of Great Britain has a listing >from the Yizkor Book for Kalish (now Kalisz), Poland which includes the following: Zhulty, A., c. 1890, Helper at the Jewish Hospital in late 1939. Zolty, Haya, c. 1890, an Israeli founder of Kalish HOuse in 1955. Zolty, Leizer, c. 1900, a founder of the Non-partisan Kalish Relief in USA in 1934. Zolty (Zulty), Gad, c. 1890, a founder of a Kalish Club in Palistine in 1925. Collected for the Memorial Forest in 1952. Member of the Kalish House Committee in 1955. Member of the Council of the Tel Aviv Organization of Kalish and District Landsleit. There are many more things which you can follow up on to obtain information on your family and those who may be related to you in Poland such as searching the JRI-Poland Database at www.jri-poland.org. Good luck, Ann Rabinowitz annrab@bellsouth.net

ZOLDHELYI =GREEN
#general
Barbara Zimmer <bravo.zulu@...>
IN 1921 Jalos ZOLDHELYI entered Ellis Island, age 15 >from Hungary. He
subsequently took the name Louis GREEN. What is the meaning of his original surname? (I know that the first part ZOLD = Green.) Also, his mother possibly used her maiden name on her immigration application. I can't remember which country has been mentioned where the married women used their maiden names for immigration purposes. Was it Hungary? Barbara Zimmer Virgnia
