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

Correction in information about The Dove Flyer
#bessarabia
Janette Silverman <cochairs@...>
In our previous message, we incorrectly identified Deputy Consul General
Ravit Baer as Consul General. As previously announced, Ms. Baer, a career diplomat in the Israeli foreign service, served in Europe and Africa before becoming Israel's Deputy Consul General to the Pacific Northwest. We are honored to have her present the August 11 screening of the acclaimed Israeli movie "The Dove Flyer," and apologize for incorrectly identifying her. "The Dove Flyer" will be shown as part of a Jewish film festival that has been curated for the conference by leading Jewish film scholar and teacher of cinema Dr. Eric Goldman. The film is based on Eli Amir's blockbuster novel of the same name, brings to life the fragile, doomed world of the Baghdad Jewish community in 1950. In addition, as at previous conferences, key lectures and presentations will be made available through LIVE! a real-time video streaming service after up to 90 days after the conference. It's not too late to register for the conference or to purchase LIVE! Visit the conference website, www.iajgs2016.org , for more information about all aspects of the conference. We're looking forward to seeing so many of you in Seattle August 7-12. Janette Silverman, Chuck Weinstein, Phyllis Grossman Conference Co-Chairs

Jozef ben Rafael TAUBENSCHLAG of Tarnow
#poland
Dan Oren <doren@...>
Through a small miracle, I found the tombstone of Jozef ben Rafael
TAUBENSCHLAG (died 1912, age 75) of Tarnow in the Tarnow cemetery on Friday. Based on his father's name and the city and year of death, he is likely a relative, though I have not encountered his specific name in any other location. Does his specific name connect with anyone on this group''s tree or records? Sincerely, Dan Oren Today in Krakow, Poland

Seeking: Mirta SCHEFFER

Rosanne Leeson
I have been contacted by a person in France who is seeking to contact
Mirta SCHEFFER, of Elkins Park, PA , who posted a note several years ago seeking information about her family in France . This person has recently been in contact with one of her cousins, and wishes to give her the information. He had found her message on JewishGen and contacted us. However, she no longer seems to be registered with JewishGen, and the usual online resources do not give her address, phone number or email, to enable us to contact her. If there is someone in Elkins Park who might have known Mirta, or who knows how to contact her, I would be most grateful for any helpful information, to enable us to pass on this good news to her. Thank you, Rosanne Leeson Co-Coordinator FrenchSIG
