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

Perhaps a clue may provide the information that all addresses listed in your

e-mail are contained within the area of the tannery factories of Pfeiffer Brothers in Warsaw. The Fabryka Garbarska P. F. "Bracia Pfeiffer" was located between Smocza 41-45, Gliniana 2-10, Okopowa 58-72, Niska, Kampinoska 1-5 and Sochaczewska 1-3 (http://warszawa.wikia.com/wiki/Fabryka_Garbarska_Bracia_Pfeiffer). You will find all these streets on a map of Warsaw. I found the map included with the book "The Warsaw Ghetto: A Guide to the Perished City" by Engelking and Leociak very helpful, because it provides not only the street names, but also the house numbers. The Nowokarmelicka Street listed in your e-mail is not shown on the map. Nowokarmelicka was the name of the section of Karmelicka between Gesia and Niska. Nowowolynska I cannot identify; it must be somehow related to Wolynska which is on the map. (I have the Polish version of the book, but I assume that the same maps are included with the English version). The puzzle of Niska 73, Kampinoska 1 and Sochaczewska 1-5 having the same number (2313n) is rather simple: all these addresses are closely adjoining each other and seem to be carved out >from apparently one real estate property.

Researching SHAYNES/SCHEINES/SHANIS from Grodno
#belarus
Liz Hanellin
Hello Belarus SIG,
I'm new to the list.I have recently begun researching my paternal grandmother's family. I always knew that my grandmother, Anna, was born in "Russia",which I assumed meant Ukraine, but recently I learned that her family was actually from Grodno (I don't know whether the town or the gubernia). Anna's parentswere known in the U.S. as Phil and Rebecca/Beckie SHAYNES. >from what I have learned >from my family, Phil and Beckie divorced at some point and she remarried (she was already a widow >from her second marriage in the 1940 U.S. census). I have no record of them together in the U.S., but I know that they were both here. Phil came over first, in 1909. I located the two legs of his boat travels, first from Hamburg to Liverpool, then >from Liverpool to New York. On these boatmanifests he is listed as Pesach/Pejsach SCHEINES. On the 1910 U.S. census, he is living with the ELFMAN family (Beckie's maiden name was ELFMAN and this was her brother's family) and he is listed as Pasik SHANIS. I lose his trail after this. Beckie came over in 1910 with their three children In English, the children's names were Ida, Anna and Sam. On their manifest, Beckie is listed as Riwke and the children are listed as Chaijke, Henne and Bolke SCHEINES. (Has anyone heard of the name Bolke?)I would like to try to find some records of Phil and Beckie/Pesach and Rivka's marriage in Grodno as well as records of their children's births. And, of course, any information about other family members, family events, etc., that might exist.A big challenge, of course, is the spelling of their last name, since it seems like there could be dozens of variations.Does anyone have any information about this family name? Or could you lead me in the the right direction in terms of research resources? Many thanks in advance. Liz Hanellin New York City,NY liz_hanellin@yahoo.com

Re: 1000 Years of European Border Changes - Automated Map
#general
Roxanne Richardson
The time lapse map is >from Centennia Historical Atlas software.
http://www.clockwk.com/ There are ways to look at particular regions over time rather than a huge overview of all of Europe. I bought this software a few years ago when I first started doing genealogy, because I knew nothing about European history and didn't know, for example, what the Holy Roman Empire was, when it operated, how it changed, and when it dissolved. There is a feature of the software that tells you what historical events were occurring at a each point in time as the borders changed. You can manually step through the border changes, as well. If I'm remembering it correctly, you can take snapshots of maps and save them, which can be nice if you want to include them in your family history documents. I don't have any connection to the company, other than as a customer. Roxanne Richardson Minneapolis, Minnesota

Re: likely travel route from Minsk to Palestine in 1880s?
#general
hennynow
Hi, Jonathan,
My father, Enoch MOED, was born in Suchowola, northeast of Bialystok, in Grodno province of Imperial Russia in 1886. He left with his parents and his youngest siblings sometime in early 1890s or mid-1890s for Jerusalem, in Ottoman Palestine, and settled in Jerusalem. They travelled by way of Odessa, where they embarked on the ship/boat that brought them to Eretz Yisrael. He told me he was Bar-Mitzvah in Jerusalem, was apprenticed to a bookbinder, then was sent to his brothers in Antwerp, Belgium, in the early 1900s to learn the diamond trade. My grandparents died in 1918 and 1920 in Jerusalem and are buried on the Mount of Olives. I visited their graves in July 2004, while attending the IAJGS conference in Jerusalem. That's all I know.

Ethnicity/country of origin and 1900/1910 US censuses
#general
Amy B <testingwithfire@...>
Hi all,
I'm new to the list and have undertaken a search for the town of origin of my great-grandmother, Anna Wolff Klugman. She lived in New York City around the turn of the last century. I have managed to find her and her husband, Samuel Klugman, on the 1900 and 1910 censuses. Unfortunately her date of arrival is recorded as 1888 on the 1900 census and 1890 on the 1910 census, but I'd imagine that was fairly common. On the censuses, their ethnicity/country of origin is recorded as "Russia" (1900) or "Russian (Yiddish)" (1910). I figured that in those days, "Russia" would include Poland. Interestingly enough, many people on their block in 1900 reported their origin as "Poland." I am assuming that most folks on their block (Suffolk St, New York in 1900) were probably Jewish. My questions about this information are: 1) Do we know if country/ethnicity was self-reported or if more detailed questions were asked about town of origin after which a country was recorded? 2) Is it still likely at all that my great-grandmother's country of origin was in fact Poland? 3) Were there any cultural reasons at that time to report "Poland" as opposed to "Russia," or vice versa? Best, Amy Brown

Searching for HEIDT family
#belarus
Paula Blank
My great grandmother was Rivka HEIDT (1870-1930?)
She married Faitel Lukin in Belarus (he was >from Minsk) and came to the States (where he becomes Philip and she Rebecca) in 1909. I have found her brother Joseph in the States, so I am sure of the spelling of HEIDT in the US. I can't find anything about her (or Joseph) in Belarus. Any ideas?

I have found her brother Joseph in the States, so I am sure of the spelling of HEIDT in the US. I can't find anything about her (or Joseph) in Belarus. Any ideas? Paula Blank Searching: LUKIN (Slutsk), HEIDT (Slutsk?), Pasamanick (Lachavitz)

I have come across a puzzle about the house number (hypoteka) 2313 in
the 1909 Warszawa directory http://ebuw.uw.edu.pl/Content/7572/directory.djvu Starting page 889, there is a list of homeowners with the corresponding house numbers and street adresses which is a treasure trove, all the more because DJVU has a very efficient wordsearch engine. There are many houses with number 2313, scattered along several streets, some far apart. Moreover, to add to the mystery, the same complete house number 2313n with the same owner ( Pfeiffer bracia) appears at different street adresses. I hope some of our experts can explain this situation.
