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 town "Columbia, Poland"
#general
Moishe Miller
Dear Lauren,
Sounds like you have done quite a bit a searching already. In genealogy there is the idea of a "FAN club" when you have a brick wall: Friends (Family), Associates & Neighbors. If you are not familiar with the concept, there is an excellent online article by Elizabeth Shown Mills entitled: "QuickLesson 11: Identity Problems & the FAN Principle" Did your immigrant ancestor have siblings? Have you checked records for those people. Have you looked up where the people living next to your immigrant ancestor were from, based on census detail? What about where those in the cemetery section were from? What was his profession ? Then perhaps consult NYC directories to see if he worked with anyone and see where they are from. It sounds like you have experience, so I am sure you can expand on the application of the FAN Club for your research question. Good luck with your exhaustive (and exhausting) search. Moishe Miller Brooklyn, NY moishe.miller@totalben.com

Revision Lists, Estate, Category of Jews
#general
Yefim Kogan
Hi everybody,
I was working on a "2nd reading" for Akkerman records of 1874 and decided to share with you some information. First, this information is not related just to Bessarabia, but rather to all JewishGen regions. The are many types of records we put into "Revision Lists": General Lists, Special Lists, Alphabetical Lists, Revision Lists, and more. Every such list has a specific meaning and features. Before going into the details, I need to point you to a presentation I did on the Jewish Genealogical Conference in Paris in 2012: "Estate and other categories of Jews in Bessarabia, Russia in the 19th century." Here is the link: https://www.jewishgen.org/Bessarabia/files/conferences/2012/EstateOfJewsinBessarabia.pdf That article gives you an understanding what Estates or Categories of Jews one had to be part of. The Jews were obliged to join one of several Estates or Classes or Categories: "Meshchane" - we translate into Middle Class, "Kuptsy" - Merchants (this is not a profession, but a large category. Go back to the records... Jews used to live in many towns in Russian Empire, but they also had to register in one of the Estate, and in many cases the town they were registered was not the town they lived in. Revision Lists are the list of people where they were registered, not necessary where they lived. The Common List or Alphabetical List are the lists of people in towns, they where were living. I am working for Akkerman "Common List" for Akkerman with about 450 Jews, and also for Akkerman uezd with 550 Jews. For the list of Akkerman about 50% of Jews were registered in different towns in Bessarabia or other gubernias - Podolia, Volyn, Vilno, Kiev. For the list of Akkerman uezd all 100% of Jews were registered in other places! It seems that they did not have Jewish Societies to Register. In these lists you will see the town where people lived and also in the comments the town, uezd, gubernia where they were registered. My question is to all of you - Why a family lived in Tarutino, Akkerman uezd, Bessarabia and was registered in Volyn gub., Rovno? It is not that they were registered somewhere online or by mail... the only reason I see is that most likely at some point they lived in Rovno, and possible came to Bessarabia to work or for a marriage... I wish that all our databases were connected and you do not need to search in a dozen different places, but search in one and get all references to that name/town. If you never searched Romania (Bessarabia) database, I invite you to do so, and you may be able to find your ancestors who travelled >from far away to Bessarabia to get some privileges or to start a family. All the best, Yefim Kogan JewishGen Bessarabia SIG Leader and Coordinator MODERATOR NOTE: For those of you who have searched on JewishGen databases, you will probably have noted that search results are not restricted to people >from the town or region in which you searched, but pull in results >from many different resources.

Gele and Karolina
#general
I am hoping to find out more information about what appears to be a diminutive
name, Gele. I am hoping that there might be some association with the name Karolina. There are vital records that identify Gele as the eldest daughter (and second-born) of Loeser/Elieser Gottlieb of Grebenau and his first wife Juedel (nee Traumann). Her date of birth fits perfectly with the age of my great-great-grandmother, Karolina Kahn (nee Gottlieb) at the time of her death (and the information on that record, noting her as the first daughter of Loeser Gottlieb, a cattle trader of Grebenau). The crucial issue is the difference of first names. While Alexander Beider's "Dictionary of Ashkenazi Given Names" notes a Kele, with a derived form Kelin that could certainly result in a similar name of Karolina, he states that he does not believe that Gele and Kele are variants of the same name. Thus I am unsure if there is any further information that might suggest that Gele is Karolina. So far, I have not found vital documents (such as a marriage record) that might confirm that they are one and the same. Have others found incidents where someone named Gele in one record was Karolina or Caroline in another? Thanks for any insights you may be able to provide. Jay Paul Jay P. Paul San Francisco, CA, USA jaypaulphd@gmail.com Researching: SUMBERG (Pilviskiai, Lithuania), LANGERT (Pilviskiai & elsewhere in Suwalki gubernia), KOTLER (Vistytis, Suwalki gubernia), WOLF (Austro-Hungary), KAHN (Ranstadt, Hesse, Germany), GOTTLIEB (Grebenau, Hesse, Germany), PAVLOVSKIY / PAVLOVSKY (Mala Antonivka, Bila Tserkiv, Vasylkiv, Kyiv gubernia, Ukraine), LEVITSKIJ / LEVITZSKY (Yasnohorodka, Vasylkiv, Kyiv gubernia).

Re: researching Kennkarten
#germany
Raphael Thurm
Shalom,
I am researching my maternal family which lived in Berlin before the Holocaust. I understand that in 1939 German Jews were compelled to carry an identity card, which often contained their photo. In 1942, several relatives in my family were deported to Theresienstadt, Riga, and Trawniki, where they all tragically perished during the Holocaust. I was able to find the transport-lists with their names, and I saw that right next to the names were the numbers of the Kennkarten issued to them. They were: Alfred Brie, Kennkarte Nr. A082037 Else Brie, Kennkarte Nr. 428171 Fanny Tempelberg (Altmann), Kennkarte Nr. A440761 Frieda Cohn (Tempelberg), Kennkarte Nr. A535319 Siegfried Cohn, Kennkarte Nr. A536192 I was wondering whether there could be some copies of the Kennkarten that were held by the German archives. Does anyone know if there's a way to obtain an archival copy somewhere of these Kennkarten? Thanks in advance, Raphael Thurm littletalmid@gmail.com
