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

Y and mt haplogroup mismatch #dna Martin Davis (com) #31772 Alex Miller's question about the speed of mutation of Y-DNA and mtDNA, using a pre Columbian Native American example, is an novel pathway into Jewish DNA issues. He asked, in reference to the Native Americans DNA research findings: "...Does that mean that the mtDNA mutates faster, or these guys got their women by mail order >from another continent?". An accessible reference for Native American DNA research is to be found at http://www.genetics.org/cgi/content/abstract/130/1/153 and indicates that Native American mitochondrial DNA were founded by two independent migrations. So nothing to do with speed of mutation (mtDNA has a much slower mutation rate). A more conventional path into the subject of Jewish DNA could be via the Wiki page Genetic Studies on Jews to be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews .

Too many with same name - need help sorting out who is who #general Debby Gincig Painter #206498 After years of trying, I am wondering if someone might be able to help sort some information out for or with me. I am trying to connect a Morris and a Charles GINCIG/GINZIG living in New York City to my family. The problem is that that I have come across at least 6 Charles Ginzigs and 3 Morris Ginzig/Gincigs located in New York City and its boroughs during the same time period with a Morris and a Charles, both involved in the diamond or jeweler business but no other information (date of birth/death, family members etc available) so haven't been able to verify they are the right ones. (Note: Family stories say we had a relative in NYC or Chesapeake Bay NY that was a jeweler who never married and so a relative >from California traveled to New York and received an inheritance. This has been handed down so details are probably fuzzy at best. It might be possible that he just didn't have any descendants.) What information I do have: An article >from the New York Sun dated Monday December 10, 1928 mentioning a jewelry store "Gincig & Siegel, Inc" located at 48 West Forty-eight St. I believe the Gincig in "Gincig & Siegel is Morris Gincig (also found as Ginzig and other spellings) b. August 1967 in either Krakow, Austria or New York City - parents born Germany (census information). He was a jeweler and married Julia (nee REINHEIMER) June 8, 1897 in Manhattan. A death notice has him passing March 30, 1950 but doesn't not mention any children but does mention Julia. His birth certificate lists parents as Charles and Rose (nee Mincey) Gincig. Charles Gincig was born Abt. 1835 in Austria (German speaking), and died Unknown probably in New York City, NY. He married Rosa MEIZEL. She was born Abt. 1837 in Austria (German speaking), and died Unknown in probably New York City, NY. These names >from Son William's birth certificate. William was b. July 7, 1875 New York City, NY d. February 10, 1936 Los Angeles, Ca. William's year of birth varies >from 1873-1876 on his children's birth certificates. William is my Great-Grandfather. Are these the same persons as above?: 1880 New York Census - Charles Ginzig b. abt 1835 (Austria German speaking; necktie maker) - Wife Rachel b. about 1837 and sons Bernard b. abt 1859 Germany, John b. abt 1862 Germany, Morris b. abt 1866 Germany, and William b. 1876 NYC. What information I have that I don't believe is for my Charles Gincig/Ginzig: Charles Ginzig 1872 113 Division St, NYC Peddler Charles Ginzig 40 Delancy St New York City 1878 Laborer aka Charles Ginsig: Naturalized 1876 New York City.

How to find the cemetery for a Boston 1900 death? #general Mark London <mrl@...> #206496 Hi - I've found a 1900 record of the death of a person in Boston. The record doesn't indicate the actual cemetery, only the city where the person was buried, i.e. Boston. I've searched the JCAM database (http://www.jcam.org/), findagrave.com, and jewishgen.org, but the person is not listed in any of those databases. Unfortunately any other relatives of this person, died decades later, so they were probably buried in different cemeteries. Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I might try (besides, of course, looking through every Boston Jewish cemetery that have burials >from that time period)? Thanks very much. Mark London

Herman NEUMAN(N) #austria-czech Dana Dimitriu #4468 Hello all, I am trying to find out what happened to Herman NEUMANN, born 5 March 1917 in Vienna, Austria. His parents: Joseph NEUMANN, born 1868, >from Husiatyn, Galicia; Hermine Auguste ?, born around 1874 Perhaps someone in this list has such a name in their tree? or has heard anything about him? or even known him? The NEUMANN family apparently moved to Karlsbad in the late 20s / early 30s. I have been able to track Joseph NEUMANN, who was deported >from Brno / Bruenn in 1942 to Terezin and then Treblinka, where he most probably died. There are no traces at ITS Bad Arolsen for either Hermine Auguste or Herman. Neither have I found anything at Yad Vashem. I have also searched ancestry, but no luck. So I am writing to you on the slight chance that Herman survived and possibly crossed paths with people reading the list. Thank you in advance for your help.

Austria-Czech SIG #Austria-Czech Herman NEUMAN(N) #austria-czech Dana Dimitriu #324929 Hello all, I am trying to find out what happened to Herman NEUMANN, born 5 March 1917 in Vienna, Austria. His parents: Joseph NEUMANN, born 1868, >from Husiatyn, Galicia; Hermine Auguste ?, born around 1874 Perhaps someone in this list has such a name in their tree? or has heard anything about him? or even known him? The NEUMANN family apparently moved to Karlsbad in the late 20s / early 30s. I have been able to track Joseph NEUMANN, who was deported >from Brno / Bruenn in 1942 to Terezin and then Treblinka, where he most probably died. There are no traces at ITS Bad Arolsen for either Hermine Auguste or Herman. Neither have I found anything at Yad Vashem. I have also searched ancestry, but no luck.

Yizkor Book Project, November 2010 #austria-czech Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...> #4467 Shalom, Before outlining what has transpired in the month of November in the Yizkor Book Project, I would like to take time to salute our very (very) small but extremely dedicated team of volunteer htmlers - Max Heffler & Osnat Ramaty. These wonderful people have been in the Yizkor Book for many, many years and their experience, patience and never-say-no attitude is very much appreciated. Max is also multi-tasking in a great deal of other projects and he is the man behind the regular updates of our necrology database - an extra salute to him! The necrology database, by-the-way, can be researched at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/yizkor/ And on the subject of research, I am often sent messages asking if a Yizkor book is available for a particular community. If this is a question you're been asking yourself, I highly recommend you look at our Yizkor Book database to see what book(s) are available for the community you're researching and if we have a Yizkor Book Project already online, you will note a hot link to the available translation in our site. http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/database.html Something new to our projects. We have began adding in hot links (where appropriate) >from project main pages to the original Yizkor Books that are available at the NY Public Library site: http://legacy.www.nypl.org/research/chss/jws/yizkorbookonline.cfm Since we have hundreds of books, we still have a lot to add but we see this a great help for those who are able to read the books in their original languages, and is on our long list of "things-to-do". As always, the Yizkor Book Project relies on the help of its many volunteers and if you feel that you have time to assist - knowledge in translation or editing not a must, I would definitely like to hear >from you. Now to the November figures.
