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

Family of Rebekka STRAUB born HUBERT 1862, Holocaust victim
#germany
Jack Hubert
To the members of German SIG. I am seeking assistance in trying to complete
a branch of our family history that has been a puzzle to me. My great grandfather Mendel HUBERT born 11/27/1823 in Cronheim Germany and his wife Hanna maiden name MUENSTER born 8/4/33 in Cronheim Germany had a total of 12 children. Six of which died at birth or childhood. Of the surviving six I was able to put together a family history of five of the six children. The sixth is the puzzle. A daughter Rebekka HUBERT born December 19th 1862 in Cronheim Germany, married a man whose last name was STRAUB. from the family information I have, Rebekka nee HUBERT STRAUB and herhusband were murdered during the Holocaust. I have no other information regarding Rebekka, or her husband, or of their children or of later generations. If any members can assist me in resolving this puzzle I can be reached at jackhubert01@aol.com. thank you. Jack Hubert Jackhubert01@aol.com

Yizkor Book Project, March 2014 [No mention of "German" or "Germany"]
#germany
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
The Children of Israel ran out of time before their flight >from Egypt and we at the Yizkor Book Project ran out of time trying to carry out all that we planned during March. Strange comparison? True, but I did want to let you know that we haven't been idle over the last month and also wanted to bring up the subject of Pesach/Passover... So, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families an extremely enjoyable Pesach holiday. So what did we actually do during March? I'm pleased to let you know that three new books were published during this last month through our Yizkor Books in Print (YBIP) Project: - Drahichyn, Belarus (Drohitchin Memorial (Yizkor) Book 500 years of Jewish Life) - Korczyna, Poland (Korczyna Memorial Book) - Horodenka, Ukraine (Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Horodenka, Ukraine) In addition, I have excellent news regarding the availability of new formats for existing books. Apart >from a usual hard cover format, we have now added a soft cover and e-book format for one of our existing books: - Yampol, Ukraine (Yampol Memorial Book) and details of these new formats and prices can be seen at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html as well as information on the other books we now have available. Clearly, if these formats prove popular, we will consider preparing other books these ways. I do try, as much as possible, to regularly thank the hundreds of volunteers who help us out in various aspects of the Yizkor Book and are behind its success. We have an online list of more than 500 volunteers at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ and in this minor way we have endeavored to let the world know of the important contributions of these wonderful people. You would like to contribute? My "door" is always open to anyone wishing to take some part in the YB Project. Now to facts and figures for March. During this last month we have added in 5 new projects: - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Michow, Poland (Memorial book to the martyrs of Michow who perished in the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Michow/Michow.html - Olkusz, Poland (Olkusz; memorial book to a community that was exterminated during the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Olkusz/Olkusz.html - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrovtse; dedicated to the memory of Ostrovtse, Apt...) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec1/ostrowiec1.html - Wolomin, Poland (Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wolomin/wolomin.html Added in a new entry: - Brok, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, volume IV) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol4_00151.html We have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyy (Akkerman), Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/Akkerman.html - Borsa, Romania (Memorial book of Borsha, or: The beloved village by the foot of the Carpathians) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/borsa/borsa.html - Cigand, Hungary (About the Jews of Cigand) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/cigand/cigand.html - Czestochowa, Poland (Resurrection and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa4/Czestochowa4.html - Dzyatlava, Belarus (A memorial to the Jewish community of Zetel) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dzyatlava/Dzyatlava.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Grajewo, Poland (Grayewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Grajewo/Grajewo.html - Indura, Belarus (Amdur, my hometown) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/indura/indura.html - Kaluszyn, Poland (The Memorial Book of Kaluszyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kaluszyn/kaluszyn_fr.html [French] - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kremenets, Vyshgorodok, and Pochayiv) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets3/kremenets3.html - Latvia (Latvian Jewry) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia/latvia.html - Radom, Poland (The book of Radom; the story of a Jewish community in Poland destroyed by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/radom/radom.html - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ludvipol/Ludvipol.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Valkininkai, Lithuania (Olkeniki: a Town that Existed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Valkininkai1/Valkininkai1.html - Wasilkow, Poland (The Wasilkower memorial book; memories of our town Wasilkow which has been annihilated by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wasilkow/Wasilkow.html - Wojslawice, Poland (Yizkor book in memory of Voislavize) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wojslawice/Wojslawice.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.html - Zolochiv, Ukraine (The Destruction of Zloczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zolochiv/Zolochiv.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Call for Stern Grant Submissions - Deadline May 15, 2014
#unitedkingdom
LAURENCE HARRIS
The 2014 IAJGS Stern Grant committee invites nominations for this important grant that memorializes the
late Rabbi Malcolm Stern and his efforts to increase the availability of resources for Jewish genealogical research. The intention of the Rabbi Malcolm Stern Grant is to encourage institutions to pursue projects, activities and acquisitions that provide new or enhanced resources to benefit Jewish genealogists. The grant is given to non-profit institutions, not to individuals. For 2014 there is possibility of two awards (including the John Stedman Memorial Grant) of up to $3,000 each. Nominations for the Stern Grant are usually made by IAJGS Member organizations -- not by individuals. We encourage individuals, however, to participate in the process by contacting their local or most relevant IAJGS Member organization to suggest worthy recipients for the grant. For a list of Member organizations of IAJGS, see http://www.iajgs.org/members/members.html . For more information about the grant (and past grantees), go to http://www.iajgs.org/awards/stern.html . Submissions by IAJGS Member organizations can be made online at http://stevemorse.org/awards/nominate.php . Instructions can be found on the site. Please note that a separate nomination for the John Stedman Memorial Grant is not required. The nomination should be made for the Stern Grant as the evaluation criteria and process for both grants are the same, and any nominations received for the Stern Grant will automatically also be considered for the John Stedman Memorial Grant. Questions? Contact Laurence Harris at laurence@lizlo.com . The deadline for nominations is midnight May 15, 2014. 2014 Stern Grant Committee Laurence Harris (Chairperson) laurence@lizlo.com Fred Blum FRED@brservices.com Rhoda Miller rhodamiller104@gmail.com

Yizkor Book Project, March 2014
#belarus
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
The Children of Israel ran out of time before their flight >from Egypt and we at the Yizkor Book Project ran out of time trying to carry out all that we planned during March. Strange comparison? True, but I did want to let you know that we haven't been idle over the last month and also wanted to bring up the subject of Pesach/Passover... So, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families an extremely enjoyable Pesach holiday. So what did we actually do during March? I'm pleased to let you know that three new books were published during this last month through our Yizkor Books in Print (YBIP) Project: - Drahichyn, Belarus (Drohitchin Memorial (Yizkor) Book 500 years of Jewish Life) - Korczyna, Poland (Korczyna Memorial Book) - Horodenka, Ukraine (Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Horodenka, Ukraine) In addition, I have excellent news regarding the availability of new formats for existing books. Apart >from a usual hard cover format, we have now added a soft cover and e-book format for one of our existing books: - Yampol, Ukraine (Yampol Memorial Book) and details of these new formats and prices can be seen at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html as well as information on the other books we now have available. Clearly, if these formats prove popular, we will consider preparing other books these ways. I do try, as much as possible, to regularly thank the hundreds of volunteers who help us out in various aspects of the Yizkor Book and are behind its success. We have an online list of more than 500 volunteers at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ and in this minor way we have endeavored to let the world know of the important contributions of these wonderful people. You would like to contribute? My "door" is always open to anyone wishing to take some part in the YB Project. Now to facts and figures for March. During this last month we have added in 5 new projects: - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Michow, Poland (Memorial book to the martyrs of Michow who perished in the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Michow/Michow.html - Olkusz, Poland (Olkusz; memorial book to a community that was exterminated during the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Olkusz/Olkusz.html - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrovtse; dedicated to the memory of Ostrovtse, Apt...) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec1/ostrowiec1.html - Wolomin, Poland (Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wolomin/wolomin.html Added in a new entry: - Brok, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, volume IV) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol4_00151.html We have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyy (Akkerman), Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/Akkerman.html - Borsa, Romania (Memorial book of Borsha, or: The beloved village by the foot of the Carpathians) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/borsa/borsa.html - Cigand, Hungary (About the Jews of Cigand) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/cigand/cigand.html - Czestochowa, Poland (Resurrection and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa4/Czestochowa4.html - Dzyatlava, Belarus (A memorial to the Jewish community of Zetel) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dzyatlava/Dzyatlava.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Grajewo, Poland (Grayewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Grajewo/Grajewo.html - Indura, Belarus (Amdur, my hometown) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/indura/indura.html - Kaluszyn, Poland (The Memorial Book of Kaluszyn) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kaluszyn/kaluszyn_fr.html [French] - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kremenets, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kremenets, Vyshgorodok, and Pochayiv) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kremenets3/kremenets3.html - Latvia (Latvian Jewry) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia/latvia.html - Radom, Poland (The book of Radom; the story of a Jewish community in Poland destroyed by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/radom/radom.html - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ludvipol/Ludvipol.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Valkininkai, Lithuania (Olkeniki: a Town that Existed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Valkininkai1/Valkininkai1.html - Wasilkow, Poland (The Wasilkower memorial book; memories of our town Wasilkow which has been annihilated by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wasilkow/Wasilkow.html - Wojslawice, Poland (Yizkor book in memory of Voislavize) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wojslawice/Wojslawice.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.html - Zolochiv, Ukraine (The Destruction of Zloczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zolochiv/Zolochiv.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Kopel Keller in Boryslaw
#galicia
Martin Wahlen <mwahlen@...>
Dear all,
After having tried finding any information on my grandmother's father Kopel Keller's ancestry, I thought I would see if our collective knowledge could get me further: Kopel Keller and Malie Zuckerbrod: Heine Golde, b 1904 d 1905 Pinches, b 1905 d 1925 Nechemie, b 1907 Rachela, b 1909 d 1989 Sara, b 1911 I've been told that Sara died in the 20's. Kopel was a worker. I have looked at the birth records for all the children without finding any parents for Kopel. Nor have I been able to find any marriage record for him and Malie. Regards Martin Wahlen
