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
Shraga Fivel DAN Family
#general
Sheldon Dan <sheldan1955@...>
I am again working on a branch of my family which originated in Valkininkai,
Lithuania. Originally, Shraga Fivel DAN married Yehudit SEGALOV and had seven children: Zvi Dov, Rachel (Rasha) GOLDMAN, Harry DUNN, Yehoshua, Hillel Zalman, Simcha Shmuel, and Jacob DUNN. These are the things I would like to find: (1) Zvi Dov's first family may have died in the Shoah. His second wife, Yehudit, had two children, Ella and Shraga. Ella married a man named OVERBACH and had a son, Assaf. Shraga married Graziela WEISELBERGER and had two children, Yogli and Zvi. I think they lived in Gedera but when I attempted to write them the letter was returned. (2) Rachel's family died in the Shoah except for the youngest daughter, Dena, who married Yehoshua EICHORN, and had two children, Yehudit and Asaf. Asaf is better known as Asaf AGMON. Yehudit married Yitzhak FLUMIN and had two children. (3) Yehoshua married a woman named Malka and had one child. Supposedly he moved to Moscow years ago. (4) Hillel Zalman married Haya Rachel ELLIS and had two children, Ila and Tova. Ila had been keeping in touch with our family genealogist years ago. She lived in Tel Aviv, but I have not been able to get in touch with her. Ila married Sfania COHEN and had one son, Ron, then later married Ted CASPI. Tova married Gidon ZIV (formerly FEINITZ) and had two children, Dani and Amalia. (5) Simcha Shmuel married Chana Rachel ZIMMERMAN and had two children, Ziva and Ora. Ziva married Avraham WEINFELD and had three children. Ora married David BAREKET (formerly BORNSTEIN) and had three children, then later married Gidon MA'OR. If anyone can give me more infomration, I would appreciate it. Sheldon Dan sheldan1955@...

HERSHOVITZ-LURJE Family
#general
Sheldon Dan <sheldan1955@...>
I would like to find information on the family of Borach LURJE and Rachel
(Roskie) HERSHOVITZ. They lived in Raseiniai, Lithuania, and died in the Shoah along with most of their family. Borach was married previously and had two sons, Fivel Labe (Pielwa) and Michael. He had six children with Rachel: Chana DISKANT, Yehoshua (Heishel), Moshe (Meishel), Sarah YUDELEVSKI, Rivka DAGAN (later LASSAR), and Gutel (Grisha). All but Sarah, Rivka, and Grisha died in the Shoah, most of them in 1941 in Raseiniai. Heishel supposedly died "at the front" in 1943. The main things I would like to find out are: (1) Fivel Labe was married to Sonia Cagan of Babryusk in present-day Belarus. They were married in Harbin, China. They had two children who survived the war. Ruvinas (Ruben) was born in 1919 in Harbin and immigrated to the United States with his wife Liza and son Fayva. Braina (Dora) married Leibl POZNER and had a daughter Sonia, who married a man named MERLIN and had two children, Rina and David. (2) Heishel was married to Yentl FISHLEDER of Kedainai, Lithuania. They had a daughter, Bella, born in 1934 in Raseiniai. Yentl and Bella survived the war. Later Bella married a man named ZELISOVITZ and had two children. (3) Moshe was married to Lili MARKS. She supposedly died near the end of the war in Siauliai, Lithuania. (4) Rivka was first married to Moshe DAGAN (formerly VOLPE) and had two daughters, Shifra and Yael. Shifra was born in 1938 and Yael in 1942 in Bat Yam in pre-state Palestine. Shifra had attended our first family reunion. I would like to get in touch with her. She used to live in Ashdod, but I think she lives in Gan Yavne now. She married Israel SAAR and had three children. Her sister Yael married Ze'ev RAVID and had two children. Later Rivka married Moshe LASSAR (formerly HARAK). (5) Grisha married Mina SCHWARTZ of Raseiniai. They had two sons, Baruch, born in 1944, and Peter (Pettie). They moved to Krefeld, Germany, where Baruch married a woman named Klara and had two sons, Aron and Georg, and Pettie married a woman named Rivka and had one daughter, Elina (Lina). If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it. Sheldon Dan sheldan1955@...

Changing of Last Names On Way to England from Russia
#general
David Goldman
Hi, Jewishgenners.
A third cousin I was corresponding with has made a very interesting suggestion as to why my great-grandfather (her great-great-grandfather) and his brothers changed their last names >from Krasinsky in 1890 when they left Nova Ushitza for Manchester. She said she knew of one of her other relatives who did the same thing because he was seeking employment or perhaps had been sponsored for employment >from a German-Jewish factory employer in Manchester, and the relative understood that a "German-Jewish" sounding last name would work better than a Russian sounding one in terms of obtaining employment by German Jewish factory owners. I had wondered how and why three brothers could emigrate legally >from the Russian Empire under totally assumed names if they needed visas and passports. I didn't find this particular novelty among any of my other ancestors, so the suggestion about employment seems to make eminent sense. David Goldman NYC

Dear fellow family historians,
I have been working on an extensive family history, which is now available as a PDF on the website of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). Its current length is 627.9 MB, so it takes a while to download. It took me 1 minute and 14 seconds to download to my computer. If you are interested in reading it, here is the URL http://digitalarchives.assets.ushmm.org/pdf/bib261529_001_001.pdf or https://tinyurl.com/TFWOpus The Table of Contents shows those chapters that are in various states of incompletion and not yet available (NA) on the web site. Briefly, the material covered are: my parent=92s origins in Prague and Vienna, our escape >from Europe after 20 months as refugees primarily in France, my assimilation and education in America, my research in the last couple of decades that has reconnected me to my family roots, and my discovery of the tragic losses of family in the Holocaust. I welcome any comments, critiques, errata, etc. Cheers, Tom Weiss North Hill 865 Central Ave., Apt. K-306 Needham, MA 02492 Phone (781) 400-2054 Mobile Phone (617) 512-8525 tfweiss@...

Request for help finding information on Michael ABRAHAM, nephew of Hedwig and Alfred JULIUSBURGER (Holocaust victims).
#germany
Alexander Watson <a.watson.genas@...>
Dear All,
Whilst searching for information on the JULIUSBURGER family, last known residence, Holzmarkt Strasse 65, Berlin, I came across what appears to be a photo of them on "The List of Deportation >from Berlin" database section of the YAD VASHEM website,(search request; JULIUSBURGER Hedwig: photo name; p39855). I asked the correspondant there for more information and she told me that the photo had been posted in 2006 by a man called Michael ABRAHAM. The correspondant indicated to me that Mr ABRAHAM is, or perhaps was, the nephew of Hedwig JULIUSBURGER, who was born Hedwig ABRAHAM, in Allenstein, Eastern Prussia (now Olstyn, Poland) on 3 Steptember 1897. Hedwig's husband, Alfred JULIUSBURGER, born in Breslau, (Now Wroclaw, Poland) on 13 November 1892 was the son of Isidor and Martha JULIUSBURGER. This means that I have a link to these people via other, living, members of my family. I have no other information on Michael ABRAHAM, unfortunately. As ever, I would be extremely grateful for help in getting into contact with Mr ABRAHAM, or his descendants. Best regards, Alexander Watson, Genas, Near Lyon France
