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

LatviaSIG has lost its Founder with the death of Mike Getz. He was a really
fine person and a good friend. His contribution to all Latvian Researchers is inestimable. He recruited me to LatviaSIG in 1997 and asked me to see what I could do about acquiring Data >from the Latvian Historical Archives as they were not cooperating, He was very persuasive and thus began our close and rewarding relationship. He served not only as the Chairman but as the Treasurer of the SIG for many years. Under his leadership the SIG grew and became a presence on the Jewish genealogical scene. Under his Leadership it was a vibrant Group and he instigated Publication of a LatviaSIG Journal. He wrote many leading articles and it was a great resource for Researchers including articles on different Shtetlach and advice for further pursuit of Latvian family history. He was asked by Avotaynu to write the Chapter on Latvian Research for their Publication on Jewish Genealogical Research. The Extraordinary Commission was established by the Soviet Union after World War 2. Mike was responsible for getting the Records for Latvian Towns and with the help of Vadim Altskan of the Holocaust Memorial Museum he made these records available to the SIG. He was always good Company always ready to listen and advise and a thoroughly decent human being. Sadly I did not see him over the past years but he will be greatly missed. I extend my sincere condolences to his wife Hilda and his family. Arlene Beare UK

New Lodz scans online - donations, voters, burials, etc.
#general
Logan J. Kleinwaks
About 56,000 new scans of a wide variety of documents >from the Lodz
Jewish Community have been posted on szukajwarchiwach.pl , accessible by clicking the titles at https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/str/1/1000?ps=True#tabJednostki where the number of scans (rightmost column) is not 0. Some of these contain Jewish genealogical information, but I have not examined them carefully and do not know the extent to which any information overlaps with what is already available online. A few files that caught my attention: Donation lists, 1921-1938, example: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/642#tabSkany Voter lists, 1924, example: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/499#tabSkany Burial register, 1929: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/360#tabSkany Correspondence with Civil Registry Office, 1935-1938, example: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/385/str/1/1/100#tabSkany Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@alumni.princeton.edu near Washington, D.C.

Jewish Community have been posted on szukajwarchiwach.pl , accessible by clicking the titles at https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/str/1/1000?ps=True#tabJednostki where the number of scans (rightmost column) is not 0. Some of these contain Jewish genealogical information, but I have not examined them carefully and do not know the extent to which any information overlaps with what is already available online. A few files that caught my attention: Donation lists, 1921-1938, example: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/642#tabSkany Voter lists, 1924, example: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/499#tabSkany Burial register, 1929: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/360#tabSkany Correspondence with Civil Registry Office, 1935-1938, example: https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/39/228/0/-/385/str/1/1/100#tabSkany Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@alumni.princeton.edu near Washington, D.C.
