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

Looks like I will be making a visit to Mount Moriah Cemetery and wanted to offer to
do a number of grave photos. Please know that the people are in the cemetery and I need specific information on the name, date of death, and location. I have to keep it to a manageable number because the cemetery systems are not specific so I will have to ask them to help show me where the plots are and that sort of limits how much I can ask them for while I am there. In turn I do appreciate a few dollars to help offset the expense of doing this and making it possible for me to keep doing this for everyone. Please contact me privately (off-list) to discuss.

Urbach in Wadowice
#general
Nancy Blodinger
Does anyone have information on, or connection to, Urbach family name specifically
from Wadowice. My Urbach family seemed to immigrate to the US (NY and New Haven) atvarious times between 1890-1900 >from Wadowice but I cant seem to find any good connection >from Wadowice. I know jews were not allowed to live in the city until about 1860 and there were very few living there around 1900. They may have only lived there a short time but I'm not sure. Thank you, Nancy Blodinger (Richmond, Va US)

Hello JewishGeners:
I am in search of death record >from Istanbul >from the late 1910s or early 1920s. A number of years ago, a database appeared online of rabbinical records of births and deaths for Istanbul but it was removed shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, I have contacted the emails listed on the following website: http://www.dankazez.com/istanbul I am looking for the death record of Mrs. Rachel Melamed who was born about 1863 in Russia. Her father's name was Isaac and her husband's name was Avraham. She moved to Constantinople shortly before her death.

Issue 136 of Genealo-J has just been published
#general
Georges Graner <georges.graner@...>
Genealo-J, /publication of the Jewish Genealogical Society of France,
Issue 136, Winter 2018 has just been published. This issue begins by the memoirs of Antoine May, a glove maker (1810-1899). Born in Hamburg in 1810, Antoine made and sold gloves there before going to Amsterdam, Cologne, Aachen, Luneville (Lorraine), Paris, Grenoble, and New York. The author provides a living account of his tribulations and encounters until 1840 even though he still lived some sixty years afterwards (Introduction by Bernard Lyon-Caen, translation from German by Francoise Lyon-Caen).Complementing these memoirs, Pierre-Andre Meyer explains in a separate paper who are all the people quoted therein and who are their ancestors. For instance, he draws the complete family tree of the Trefousse family (Trefousse is an unusual variant of Dreyfus) >from 1670 to the present time. The Trefousse glove factory was seized by the Vichy government in 1940, restituted to its owners in 1944 and eventually closed its doors in 1973. Michel Gaspard is very proud of his maternal grandfather Paul Levy (1887-1962), a famous linguist. Paul Levy is born in Seebach, in Alsace, which was then a part of the German Empire. In 1910 he settled in Paris and was a student of Durkheim, Levy-Bruhl, Bergson and especially of Charles Andler, the founder of the academic studies of German languages. Paul Levy undertook the first complete study of the languages and dialects of Alsace and of Lorraine. In 1914, Paul and his cousin Leo deserted >from the German army and fought in the French Army. The author gives Paul Levy's ancestry, poor peddlers, butchers and bakers all living in northern Alsace and also the ancestry of his wife Elise Weil (1893-1962). The synagogue of Wissembourg, frequented by Paul in his childhood, was destroyed by the Nazis in 1941. A new one, built in 1950, is now transformed into an archive building. The street along this building has been named Paul Levy street in November 2018. Marianne Wolff tell us about her great-grandparents. Charles Philippe Cahen (1849-1920), Alsatian polytechnician and engineer, his wife Lucie Cohen (1858-1920) and their offspring. Charles Cahen, an officer in the regular army ten years older than Alfred Dreyfus, was stationed in Besancon, Fort de France, Saigon, Arras ... until his transfer to Montpellier far >from the Eastern borders at the time of the Dreyfus Affair. Charles is of Alsatian descent, his parents emigrated to Elbeuf (Normandy) in 1872. The Parisian Lucie Cohen has her origins in Lorraine and Germany. Charles' and Lucie's two sons, Emile and Marcel Eugene, were engineers >from the Ecole Centrale. Among his many activities Marcel Eugene founded the publication 'Architecture 'aujourd'hui but died a few days before its first issue. Jean-Richard Bloch (1884-1947) and Max Jacob (1876-1944) are both well known French characters. Bloch was an historian, writer and a prominent communist journalist. After World War II, he even became senator. Jacob was a famous surrealist poet and writer. He became a Roman catholic in 1915 but was nevertheless arrested by the Nazis in 1944 and died in the camp of Drancy just before his transfer to Auschwitz. Bernard Lyon-Caen was surprised to find that, in spite of their very different way of life and interests, they frequently corresponded. They actually were remote cousins. The author traces their common ancestry in Lorraine and previously in Germany. The present issue also contains an eulogy of Daniel Leeson, recently deceased. He was not only a musician and musicologist but also an active genealogist who published for our Society two important databases. He was the husband of Rosanne Leeson, the present co-moderator of the French-Sig of Jewishgen. Georges Graner

(France) French National Rail to Build Holocaust Museum at Former Pithiviers Station
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
The French National Rail company (SNCF) allotted $2.3 million to build a
Holocaust memorial at the Pithiviers train station in eastern France. The Pithiviers station has remained abandoned for years and therefore has not been changed since it was the gathering and dispatch point for Jews sent to be murdered in Eastern Europe. In May 1941 the Pithiviers station saw the arrival of more than 3,500 Jews without French citizenship. These Jewish refugees were ordered to report to the police stations in Paris following the Nazi invasion of France that month. The Jews were mainly >from Poland and Czechoslovakia. With the logistical help of SNCF some 16,000 Jews were sent to be murdered in death camps >from Pithiviers station and the neighboring camp of Beaune-la-Rolande in eight transports between 1941 and 1943, mostly sending the prisoners to Auschwitz. The camp was closed in 1943 by the then commander of the Drancy concentration camp. CRIF, the umbrella group of French Jewish communities will partner in designing the museum.

(Latin America) Genetic Study of Latin Americans Reveals History of Converso Migration
#sephardic
Jan Meisels Allen
A genetic study of over 6,500 Latin American individuals uncovered ancestry
that could be traced to North Africa and eastern Mediterranean >from several centuries back. Historical records and genetic analyses indicate that Latin Americans trace their ancestry mainly to the intermixing of Native Americans, Europeans and Sub-Saharan Africans. The study could corroborate family legends of Converso heritage. They found in the Native American ancestry that about a quarter shared five percent or more of their ancestry with people living in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean, including Sephardic Jews. The researchers timed the influx of Mediterranean ancestry among Latin Americans to the Spanish colonization of Latin America. They suggest that a number of recent Conversos left Spain for Latin America, "using false documents" as they were prohibited >from leaving so by the monarchy . The study shows that Conversos came to the Americas in disproportionate numbers. The researchers examined more than 500,000 autosomal SNPs typed in about 6,500 individuals who were born in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. They were then compared to 2,300 people from, all over the world. The study was reported in Nature Communications and the can be found at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-07748-z They also collected data >from 42 populations representing five major bio-geographic regions: Native Americans, Europeans, East/South Mediterranean, Sub-Saharan Africans and East Asians. Geneticists also found rare genetic diseases prevalent among Jews popping up in Latin America.
