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

Searching for famiy of Max SEIDENFELD, possibly Cleveland or Wichita
#general
Donna Brown <donnab213@...>
My name is Donna Brown and I live in Tallahassee, Florida. I am seeking
assistance in locating an individual's family members to return some items that I have located. I contacted the Jewishgen help section and they suggested that I register and post my information in this discussion group. While looking for another item, I came across a very small in size book titled, "Abridged Prayer Book for Jews in the Army and Navy of the United States". It has a copyright date of 1917 by The Jewish Publication Society of America. Inside the book was a folded piece of paper >from the Orthodox Old Home, 736 Lakeview Road. I believe this to possibly be located in Cleveland, Ohio. It appears to be addressed to Max SEIDENFELD, dated February 4, 1932 and is in reference to "the Yahrzeit" of his departed mother which fell on Saturday, February 20, 1932. I was born in Wichita, Kansas and believe the last home that we lived in before moving was purchased by my parents >from the Seidenfelds (but am not positive). This home was located on Edgemont. My sister believes that Mr. Siedenfeld was also a physician. The previous owners left an antique barrister with many old books. My father loved to read and I inherited this love and for old books. My parents are both deceased and I have the barrister and old books. At least one of these old books has the name of Max Seidenfeld written on the inside cover. I do not know if Mr. Seidenfeld had any children or subsequent grandchildren. If there are living descendants and they are interested in having these items I would love to give these items to them. I am a retired law enforcement officer and have no ulterior motive other than to give these items to Mr. Seidenfeld's family if they would like to have them at no cost to them. I have photographs of the book and of the piece of paper that I located if this would assist anyone. Thank you in advance for any help that you might be able to provide, Donna Brown Tallahassee, Florida USA MODERATOR NOTE: Please reply privately.

Max and Rebecca MOSKOWITZ (ne HUREWITZ) NYC-Bronx- Mid 20th cent.

Yonatan Ben-Ari
Continuing to research my ABRAMOWITZ family with a HUREWITZ family
of Hartford, Ct., I was informed by Martin MOSKOWITZ that a relative of his, a Max MOSKOWITZ was married to Rebecca HUREWITZ who was related to our supposed HUREWITZ family in Hartford, Ct. I don't have dates of Rebecca's lifetime but Martin said that her mother-in-law died in 1931 so I presume Rebecca is no longer alive. If anyone on this list is related to the above Rebecca MOSKOWITZ ne HUREWITZ I would be happy to hear >from you . Shavua Tov Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem

Research in Mexico/Guatemala or Peru
#latinamerica
ibaquet@...
Hi there, I have an interesting story... up to May of this year, I had no idea that I had Jewish ancestry.
I reconnected with a cousin through Ancestry who informed me that her great grandfather had arrived in Guatemala around the 1800's. I was surprised to even hear >from her but the most amazing news was they had come >from Mexico (previously Spain and then Cuba)and had left due to the inquisition to their family in Peru. While crossing the Mexico border with Guatemala, they decided to stay in a very remote town in the department of Huehuetenango, called Aguacatan. They changed their names probably >from Peretz to Perez and they decided to stay. Another family of last name Herrera would have accompanied them (pure speculation at this point) This was news to everybody I live in the US and I have not been able to go back to the cemetery where I know I could find more information or at least take pictures of the tombs. I do know that at least one of them was born in Guatemala. Francisco Trinidad Perez Barahona, born in 1861. Any chance that there is someone out there looking for a group of wandering ancestors that decided to get lost in history? Thank you Isabel Baquet PS. I can translate into Spanish / English if you ever need my help.
