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

The Jewish Cemetery at Baden bei Wien {was Jewish Community of Baden} Part 2
#austria-czech
Celia Male <celiamale@...>
Here are some points I wish to make following Mr Schaeffer's initial posting
which, hopefully will help us all to understand more about the Jewish cemetery in Baden-bei-Wien and also the Baden Jewish Community to understand our aims. 1. Discrepancy in burial numbers: Unfortunately, the complete 2,200-name database of burials we heard about today is not online so there is little opportunity for wide-ranging research. Also we now know that the IKG database is incomplete for Baden - that is a great shame. The book, I referred to above, lists *only* 1,161 graves. Some have multi-occupancy, so I counted about 111 other "listed occupants of graves", which brings us to just over 1,270 burials. Now we are missing 1,000 *vital* names who deserve to be remembered, openly- listed, researched and re-linked to their dispersed families. I wonder who they are - how can we find out and why are they not listed in the book I have? 2. Complete databases online and their importance: It is only when you have a complete online database, see the graves with inscriptions inc. name, father's name, maiden names, location, dates etc that you see long-lost family links which are vital to us and which even the Jewish Community in Baden may not be aware of. I do hope these names can all be incorporated in a complete database for all of us and future generations. 3. How many headstones survive in Baden?: As there are only approx. 600 headstone photographs, I presume many have disintegrated and/or disappeared. Perhaps we can now have an official number >from Mr Schaeffer of the known number of existing headstones. All this is vital for our research. Time is running out. 4. Burials of people >from miscellaneous places: There are people buried in Baden >from many other places as Baden was a spa, a popular place for wealthy to have houses, a magnet for visitors, a health resort and there was a sanatorium [Alland] nearby. Here are just some places of origin I found: Austria: Vienna, Bad Voslau, Berndorf, Eisenstadt, Gainfarm, Gmund, Krems, Hohenau, Mattersdorf, Piesting, Portschach, Tattendorf, Traiskirchen; Slovakia: Pressburg; Bohemia: Ascherau, Budweis, Kaminetz, Malin, Pilsen, Prague, Warnsdorf, Wottitz, Reichenberg, Tutschap; Moravia: Boskowitz, Holleschau, Hotzenplotz, Jamnitz, Kremsier, Hradisch, Leipnik, Prossnitz, Nikolsburg; {Wradisch?} Galicia/Bukowina: Czernowitz, Czortkow, Husyatin, Jamnitz, Kolomea, Krakau, Kscheschowiche?, Lemberg, Przemysl, Tysmienica, {Caliniany?}; Hungary: Also-Botfallu, Arad, Bonyhad, Botragy, Budapest, Nagyvarad, Strahowitz, Zsolna; Kunowitz?; Bulgaria: Slatina?, Widdin; Germany: Frankfurt-a-Main, Halberstadt Sachsen-Anhalt, Hessen, Kassel; Italy: Meran, Trieste. Poland: Ujest [was Prussia], Ustron {Ober-Schlesien], Warsaw; Romania: Berlad, Bucharest, Jassy; Russia: Moscow, Odessa, Pinsk, Winnitza; {Kertsch/Krimm?}; Serbia: Belgrade; Switzerland: Zurich; USA: Detroit and others As yet unplaced: Kadlaborgiea and Kamnetz Hopefully, relatives may now have a chance to discover this and see their graves. I wonder how many of their descendants spread throughout the world know this? 5. Example of scope for targetted research: I do hope now we have made contact you will also be able to help trace the parents and the grave of the parents of a former Baden resident Karl KOHN [see footnote]. I traced him after a long trail and one single clue [for his granddaughter Julie Curran now in the USA] to Australia via Shanghai where he died aged over 90. I know this will be of great importance to her. This is the sort of work we can do when we have many facilities on the internet. I can now see KOHN headstones for the first time and I suspect one or two are >from this Karl KOHN family. 6. I also found for James Werner, Bordeaux, a member of our SIG, that his gtgtgt grandfather, Abraham WEINMANN is buried in Baden-bei-Wien with his wife Babette. Is it possible to see a photograph of their graves or have they been destroyed? Perhaps the names are only in Hebrew and we have not yet identified them. Abraham died 27 Dec.1896 aged 82 in 1885 agd 82. He was a leader of the Baden Jewish Community and in 1881-1893 President of the Chevra Kadisha. Babette died 12 March 1899, aged 83. The grave of Abraham is along the perimeter wall with all the leading members of the Baden community - ie akin to an honour grave. 7. Finally, grateful thanks to Traude Triebel and her technical assistant Gerhard Reumann who have done a magnificent job at their own expense in producing this website. Traude of course obtained the keys for entry to the cemetery officially after phoning you. The website has now attracted more than 550 hits in only five days. I suspect that because of this website you will now get more visitors and hopefully more donations for the upkeep of the cemetery and the Baden Community will benefit. I have as yet no personal connection to the Jewish Community of Baden-bei-Wien, but through intensive research I might yet find one. Celia Male [U.K.] Footnote: Karl KOHN; all I knew about him was his name and a six digit number. I discovered it was the asset file number with one digit too many! >from that, I obtained his date of birth {25.04.1889} and then discoverd that Karl married Viennese-born Hermine TAUBER, apparently a relative of Richard TAUBER. The National Archives of Australia also yielded up their secrets. I am now trying to obtain a photograph of him for his family. Apparently his papers were left to the Jewish Museum, Melbourne. So we have really have to thank Karl KOHN for writing down this {wrong!} number before leaving Vienna for Shanghai, on a tiny scrap of paper and giving it to his daughter. I think of him often and now wish to find his family graves in Baden.

IAJGS Salutes! Mary Barkan
#general
Lyn Blyden & Les Ungerleider <slu@...>
Mary Barkan has been selected for the first IAJGS Salute for her work in
preserving archival material >from the original Hadassah chapter in Las Vegas, Nevada. Scrapbooks, photos, articles, awards, plaques, pins, and banners documented various Hadassah events held between 1964 through 1971. The loose material wandered >from the garage of one Hadassah member to another until Mary took possession of the numerous boxes. It took Mary the greater part of a year to create an index of over 4000 names for the varied materials, making future access to the collection easier than before. Once the project was completed, JGS of Southern Nevada donated the scanned images and a copy of the index to the Special Collections Department of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. You can contact Mary at JGSSN to gain access to the index. Mary learned a great deal about the importance of local history projects after attending a program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She used the information and skills when she volunteered to collect temple bulletins >from Las Vegas synagogues for the millennium. The index contained almost 13000 names and the project provided a snapshot of affiliated Jews >from eight of the Las Vegas synagogues. Mary has been interested in genealogy for almost twenty years. For nine years was the editor of the quarterly JGSSN bulletin "Family Legacies", and continues to produce the monthly newsletter "News to Note". All publications are full of important genealogical information. She helps JGSSN members by teaching them how to document information. Thank you so much Mary for your hard work. Your efforts will be an asset to all genealogists, especially those with family ties to Las Vegas! Lyn Blyden Chair, IAJGS Salutes

I have found his name in Teresin books. >from Teresin, he was transported (22.9. 1942) to Maly Trostinec and he did not come back. L. Friedlaenderova Prague

This is the Russian Jewish grandfather of a friend of mine who is not Jewish. Some
of her relatives have determined that he left >from Hamburg on the ship Werkendam arrival New york around 1903. Last place of residence as possibly "Panewas". He was age 7,mother's name Laura. Apparently he married a non-Jewish woman and left all Judaism behind him. There are family members who deny that he was Jewish. My friend would like to know more about her grandfather who is deceased. Any information would be appreciated.
