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

Surname SAMUELS
#galicia
Ruth Burkholder <ruth.burk@...>
I am researching a family with the surname SAMUELS in London after
1901. The father and eldest daughter were born in Galicia, and the rest of the family in London. I am not sure if Samuels was the name used there or if it is an anglicised name for convenience or acceptance. Would anyone be able to suggest what this name might have been in Galicia? Thanks.

Dear JewishGen,
I am researching the Czech family history of my Grandfather, Frantisek STEINER, who was born in 1914 and lived in Mor. Ostrava before WWII.

His parents names were Artur Steiner and Hedvika Steinerov. He also married a Hanna FEDERMANN, with parents Dr Karel Federmann and Elsa Federmannova. He had a brother named Kurt Steiner, who was married to a Marie Steinerova and they had a son, Hanus Steiner. It is believed all except Frantisek and Hanna perished in the holocaust.

Yizkor- The Fate of Family Left Behind
#austria-czech
norofra@...
This chapter of "Courage of the Spirit" examines the fate of the other
family members of the Weinberg brothers while they escaped >from Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and on to Central Asia. It concludes with an excerpt from an essay by my father , Rabbi William Weinberg, written in the 1960's,for the Bnai Brith "National Jewish Monthly" looking at what were the root causes of anti-Semitism in his time . *************************** Yizkor--The Fate of the Family Members Left Behind What was it that the brothers had escaped? Raoul Hilberg, noted historian of the Holocaust, the first one to apply detailed statistical accounting to the Destruction of the European Jews, as he titled his sweeping research of the political, economic, and military resources brought to bear on the Jews. While it is important to note that Nazism's victims numbered in many millions, it was the Jews that were singled out as the prime enemy of the Third Reich and the prime target of the largest manhunt in history. It was the culmination of a historic trend, as he described: The missionaries of Christianity said: You have no right to live among us as Jews. The secular rulers who followed had proclaimed: You have no right to live among us. The Nazis at last decreed: You have no right to live. Hilberg delineated the systematic processes of destruction: the rollback of civil and human rights by a thousand years; the expropriation of Jewish property; the deportation and concentration of Jews; the killing process, first through mobile killing units and then through killing centers. My father had been through the loss of his civil rights, had lost his source of income ( as the family had lost much of their finances), and had been deported, luckily, to escape the ultimate bitterness of concentration and destruction. www.courageofspirit.com/2013/05/5c-fate-of-family-members-left-behind.html Rabbi Dr. Norbert Weinberg email: norofra@...
