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

Help reading Hebrew gravestone - ViewMate
#austria-czech
Bob Lenk
I have posted to ViewMate 4 photographs of 6 Hebrew gravestones. I
would appreciate help in reading and translating. The graves are in Mikulov (Nikolsburg), Moravia. I can read portions of the stones, but they are in varying conditions. Some are broken, and some are partially buried. I have more photos of some of the stones, and I've had to decrease the resolution on some to meet the limit for ViewMate. I can send you more photos if they will help, but I doubt they will make much difference in anyone's ability to read the stones. Here are the URLs of the ViewMate postings, and brief descriptions of the stones: 1) http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9595 I believe the deceased is named Bela PULGRAM 2) http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9596 I believe the surname is PULGRAM The date of death looks like 1 Nisan 5590 (with perhaps a 4th letter/digit for the year) 3) http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9598 The date of death could be 23 Kislev 5589 4) http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=9599 These are three graves, I believe all surname BOHM (umlaut over O) You may find a 5th photo of mine in the ViewMate Directory, but it looks like there may have been a problem with the upload, and it did not show up with these four. http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/index.asp Thank you for any help.

New Feature in The Galitzianer
#galicia
Edward Goldstein <editor.TheGalitzianer@...>
Dear Galitzianers,
Many of us have grown up listening to stories, reminiscences and anecdotes of life in our shtetlach. These stories are the "heart and soul" of genealogy. Susana Leistner Bloch has volunteered to create a special feature for The Galitzianer, called "Tales of Galicia," which will appear from time to time in future issues. If you have such stories pleasesend them to Susana at <bloch@mts.net>. (Her email address is provided here with her permission.) When sending a story please add a little information about the person who told it, the place he/she came >from and -- if you have a photo -- even better! Don't be shy and think your story is minor or of no interest to others. Anything that recreates "the sounds, the smells and the colors" of our history is as important as "hanging" a new name or date on our family tree; it will give us and future generations of Galitzianers a glimpse of how our ancestors lived. Susana and I are looking forward to hearing >from you. Edward Goldstein Editor, The Galitzianer

Tsadok and the "excitement" of "exotic" ancestry

Certainly, the statement that a name was more common among Sefardim than among Ashkenasim does not imply that one should assume a Sefardi ancestor. Plenty of Ashkenasim were named Zadok and the majority of Sefardim were not . . . Michael Bernet

RUDERMAN immigration
#general
lizdmiller@...
Hello,
Sadly, NARA has no immigration records for my grandparents, Moshe(Morris) RUDERMAN (RUDORMAN)1900 and Eske(Sarah)COHEN(KOHEN,KAGEN)1898. I know that they were married in August, 1903 in New York City. Does anyone have any other ideas regarding how I can confirm their immigration? I believe that they, or at least the RUDERMAN family came >from Kraisk. Thank you for any help. Sincerely, Liz Ruderman Miller

Hello Warszawa,
I just joined the group, and have also joined GerSig, Gesher Galicia, and AustriaCzech. My primary research goal with this group is to find out if any of my immediate SILBERSPITZ family >from Gnojnik, Poland or Berlin, Germany lived in the Warsaw Ghetto. We have not been able to find any information on the fate of my family members during the Holocaust. We have located SILBERSPITZ and ZIMERSPITZ survivors in Israel, Austria, USA, and Argentina, but we are not certain they are related to our immediate family. I have been doing genealogy research for over 10 years, but consider myself to be novice in doing research on Warsaw. My experience doing research on the internet on other issues is extensive. My native language is English - I live in the USA. I can read Spanish, Italian and some French, but barely read Polish and German. I have documents and vital records for my grandmother Mrs. Chane Terzian (nee "Helen" SILBERSPITZ), born 1897 in Gnojnik, Poland, who emigrated to the USA in 1914 and died in 1923 in the USA. My great-grandparents Laja (nee Lotti ZIMERSPITZ) and Jakob SILBERSPITZ lived in Gnojnik, Poland (formerly Galicia) >from the 19th century at least to the interwar period when we lost contact with them. We do not know if they migrated elsewhere or died in the Holocaust. Warm regards, Mrs. Nancy Nepola-Terzian Fox Franklin, TN, USA <jessefox7@bellsouth.net> Searching (initially): SILBERSPITZ, Heinrich - who vanished >from Berlin after 1939 SILBERSPITZ, Jakob & Laja (nee Lotti ZIMERSPITZ) - who vanished >from Gnojnik/Brzesko, Poland ZIMERSPITZ, Amalia & Salome - who vanished >from Ubrzez/Lapanow, Poland ZIMERSPITZ, Chaim - who vanished >from Ubrezia, Poland
