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

Yizkor Book Project, June 2012
#rabbinic
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community;

Rabbinic Genealogy SIG #Rabbinic Yizkor Book Project, June 2012

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community;

Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community; the Jews of Bonyhad, Hungary) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bonyhad/Bonyhad.html - Gyor, Hungary (Victims of Fascism in Gyor and Environs 1944-45) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/gyor1/gyor1.html - Hajduboszormeny, Hungary (Out of the depth) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Hajduboszormeny/Hajduboszormeny.html Added in 6 new entries: - Causeni, Moldova (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania, Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00394.html - Kupiskis, Lithuania (Jewish Cities, Towns and Villages in Lithuania until 1918) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/yidishe_shtet/yid453.html - Snyatyn, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol2_00516.html - Spisska Nova Ves, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo405.html - Tarutyne, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania, Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00357.html - Tighina, Moldova (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania, Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00359.html We have continued to update 30 of our existing projects: - Bedzin, Poland (A Memorial to the Jewish Community of Bedzin) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bedzin/Bedzin.html - Berezhany, Ukraine (Brzezany Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Berezhany/Berezhany.html - Csenger, Hungary (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Csenger/Csenger.html - Debica, Poland (The Book of Dembitz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/debica/demp000.html [Polish] - Disna, Belarus (Disna;

Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community;

Yizkor Book Project, June 2012
#southafrica
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community;

Belarus SIG #Belarus Yizkor Book Project, June 2012
#belarus
bounce-2447543-772948@...
Shalom,
As our ultimate aim in the Yizkor Book Project is to see complete translations of books online, it's particularly gratifying when we do reach this goal and, in this past month, we managed to achieve it twice. The first project was the Csenger, Hungary Yizkor book (Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Csenger, Porcsalma and Vicinity) whose translation was gratefully donated by Renee and Stan Fishkind, and the second was the Gorodets, Belarus Yizkor book (Horodetz; history of a town, 1142-1942) which was translated in its entirety by Hannah Kadmon and Eugene Sucov and my high praise goes out to all these people for seeing these projects to their successful completion. This means that we now have just over 80 projects that are complete books and there are many others now that are close to completion, with yet many others for which the road ahead to reach this goal is long and winding. Of course, reaching this goal requires many, many hours of volunteer and professional work but actually achieving this is very, very gratifying and will provide a fountain of knowledge to so many. These days we are also offering the option to print hardcopies of the completed translations, something which has proven to be very popular and we're very encouraged by the positive response received, so far, to these carefully prepared and presented volumes. If you wish to learn more about the YBIP (Yizkor Books in Print) Project, you are welcome to visit http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html Over the last month or so, a number of new Translation Fund projects have been set up to enable people to help some of the Yizkor Book projects along financially. The projects recently added were for the following books: - Dumbraveni, Moldova (There once was a town - a descriptive monograph of the town of Dombroven) - Glinyany, Ukraine (In the Diaspora and in the Homeland) - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) If you would like to know more about these projects or any of the others that are currently running, you are invited to visit the JewishGen-erosity page at http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 Finally, I would assume that this report finds many of you preparing for their trip to the 32nd IAJGS International Conference. Unfortunately, I will not be there but Jan Meisels Allen has kindly agreed to lead the Yizkor Book Birds of a Feather meeting and hope as many of you will take part and be enriched by Jan's wide knowledge in this field. Other than that, I do wish all of the participants in the conference a very fruitful and rewarding experience. Now to facts and figures As far as the June figures go, during this last month we have added these 4 new projects: - Bialystok, Poland (The Bialystoker memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok1/Bialystok1.html - Bonyhad, Hungary (Bonyhad: a destroyed community;

Whether your name or records are listed above, we appreciate all your submissions! Thank you to all the donors that submitted information for this update. We appreciate all the work our donors have done and encourage you to make additional submissions. Whether you work on a cemetery / cemetery section individually or consider a group project for your local Society, temple or other group, it's your submissions that help grow the JOWBR database and make it possible for researchers and family members to find answers they otherwise might not. Please also consider other organizations you may be affiliated with that may already have done cemetery indexing that would consider having their records included in the JOWBR database. Stay tuned for our inaugural upload for JewishGen's Memorial Plaque project. We currently have approximately 9,000 records to start with and are very interested in your help to add to those figures. We're still actively looking for additional files for the launch. Please contact me to find out more about this project and how you or your JGS can help.
