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

Hello GerSIG,
I just joined the group. I have been doing genealogy research for a few months, I am a beginner in doing German Jewish Genealogy research. I live in France. My native language is French and I also know some English and a very little of German. There is a Stammbaum about the BIELSCHOWSKY family on the net and it's quite complete (http://www.bielschowsky.nl/). It begins with Alexander BIELSCHOWSKY , born in 1740 in Ponischowitz (Kreis Tost), Upper Silesia. His descendants established in Breslau, Oels or Naumslau. My primary research goals now are to find out : - if it's possible to find elements before 1740 for the BIELSCHOWSKY family. - more about the ROMANN family : my great-grand-father Karl BIELSCHOWSKY from Oels married a Rosa ROMANN (1872-1912), daughter of Louis ROMANN(1832-1921), >from Trautenau (now Trutnov) and would like to find what were the connections between Oscar (1871-1919, married to Ella Gl=FCck), Gertrud, Hugo (deceased in WW1), Friedrich (1900-1969?), all Romann. My JGFF Researcher ID number is 723415. The family names and ancestral towns that I have entered in the JGFF (JewishGen Family Finder) are : BIELSCHOWSKY >from Olesnica (Lower Silesia), Poland (Oels) ; BIELSCHOWSKY >from Wroclaw, Poland (Breslau) ; ROMANN >from Trutnov, Czech Republic (Trautenau).

A significant roadblock in my research about the GOTTLIEB family
#galicia
דוד נ.א.
Hello
I want to share a significant roadblock in my research about the Gottlieb family. It is that the result of all my searching up to now is -- zero. Nothing. Nothing like this happened to me with the other families I have researched. Perhaps some of you have ideas not thought of. I am looking for information about parents of Hinda-Basha SINGER nee GOTTLIEB, born about 1890. Father: Isaiah. Born sometime before 1872 and died around 1910. Was a rabbi in Zlotniki (Ternopol, Galicia). Probably also lived in Stretin (Rohatyn, Galicia). Died either in Stretin or Bukachevtsy (Rohatyn, Galicia). The funeral was for sure in Bukachevtsy. Mother: Esther Malka (nee LANGNER - not sure). Born sometime before 1875 and died sometime after 1905. Her eldest son was born in 1905 in Bukachevtsy and was killed there in 1942. This is what I know. Beginning of the end -- I got (for a donation of $100 to JRI) records of Bukachevtsy. There is a marriage of 1900-1908. I could not find there the wedding of Hinda-Basha. I found her children's birth records. They don't say the names of Hinda-Basha's parents' names or any information about them, but they say that Hinda-Basha was >from Stretin. I looked for the birth of Hinda-Basha in Stretin. JRI is missing most births between 1881-1898. I looked for the birth / marriage / death certificates or other records of family members in Zlotniki. Mark Halperin says that all the documents of Zlotniki did not survive. I looked for the birth or marriage of Esther Malka LANGNER on JRI and in the All Galicia Database. I found nothing. I can not search for a specific archive because I have no idea about the town and the year. I looked for the death of Esther Malka LANGNER. She may have died less than 100 years ago, so the record may be in the USC in Warsaw, in a book of any town (maybe Bukachevtsy?). In any case, they will not search without a specific Year of Death. I looked on JRI and in the AGD for the birth or marriage of Isaiah GOTTLIEB. I found nothing. Again, I can not search for a specific archive because I have no idea about the town and the year. I looked for the death of Isaiah GOTTLIEB in the USC office in Warsaw (between 1909-1911). They searched the books of Rohatyn (including Stretin), Burstein and Bukachevtsy. It's strange, but they did not find anything. I looked for general information in Rohatyn's memory book, on JRI and on Gesher Galicia -- anything useful. I found in Ternopol the birth in 1898 of Hinde Bassie, daughter of Benzion GOTTLIEB and Tille SASS. I thought she might be a cousin of "our" Hinda-Basha, but she was probably named for Tille's mother, not for someone on the GOTTLIEB side. I found in Trembowla the birth of another possible cousin: Basia Hynda, born 1898 to Benjamin BASEN and Szeindel, daughter of Josia and Basi GOTTLIEB. It is rumored that Esther Malka was related to the famous LANGNER family -- rebbes >from Stretin. I checked their family tree to find a possible relationship -- nothing. I hope not burdened amount of information. I did not want to bother proposals already checked. Before I give up, I try to ask for your help. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you in advance for any reference. David Nesher Israel MODERATOR NOTE: Please send comments privately unless they might be helpful to other readers.

Unable to find names on NY passenger lists - LOSEFF
#general
Walter Rosett
I need help finding names on passenger lists. Even the Family History Library
help desk was to no avail. Dora LOSEFF b 1883 in Veliz(h), Russia stated she arrived on the Caramania (Carmania) >from Bremen on 20 Nov 1905 arriving NY on 13 Dec 1905. She immediately went to Chicago where she had family. A presumed relative, Sophie LOSEFF aka POGROFF b 1894 stated that she arrived in NY on the Germania Dec 1905 under the name Shifra LOSEFF. She is possibly a sister to Dora. Saul LOSEFF aka Solomon Solomons LOSEFF, the sister of Sophie stated he arrived >from Liverpool leaving 11 Dec 1905 and arriving in NY 12 Dec 1905 on the Carmania as well. Likely he originated in Bremen. All these persons seemed to have stopped in Liverpool >from Bremen to NY. I presume that the Carmania and Germania refer to the same ship but possibly not and dates could be mistaken. There seem to be various records for these ships but I have not been able to locate anyone with this surname on any of them for these dates. Obviously I am missing something and need help. Thanks.

Death of Louis (Eliezar) SLONIMSKY
#general
Barbara <bj1friends@...>
I am trying to find more information on the death of my great-uncle, Louis aka
Eliezer SLONIMSKY, born about 1886 in or near Slonim, Poland, now Belarus. He emigrated to the US on April 6, 1902 and died on June 5, 1916. His New York City death certificate says the cause of death was "between two cars." He was buried in Washington Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY on June 6, 1916. Given this early date, one would think that there would be a newspaper account of his death somewhere. He is said to have worked on trolleys, so it is possible that the two cars were trolley cars. I have checked the NY Times and some other papers including the Forward (though I can't read Yiddish) without luck so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Barbara Sloan Conway, SC
