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

(US-NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Rule on Accessing Birth and Death Records
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
New York City Rules Updates published the following reminder that the
amendment to the General Vital Statistics Provisions of the NYC Health Code Article 207 becomes effective on January 1, 2019. The rule addresses when birth and death records are to be transferred >from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDoHMH) to the Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS). The embargo dates are 125 years after birth and 75 years after death. As a result of the over 5,000 comments in response to the then proposed rule with these embargo dates, the NYCDoHMH further proposed and adopted an additional rule expanding the family members who could access the records >from the NYCDoHMH during the embargo period. The new rule expands those who can access a death record to great-great grandchildren, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, grandnephews, and grandnieces. Existing code already permitted the following family members: the spouse, domestic partner, parent, child, sibling, grandparent or grandchild. The rule also expands those family members who can access birth records of a deceased individual to: spouses, domestic partners, parents of children over the age of 18, children, siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandchildren, great grandchildren, grandnieces, and grandnephews. While requests were to expand those to additional family members and professional researchers with no family connection to the people's histories they are researching should have broad access to birth and death records, both of these requests were declined by the Department. To read the notice see: hhttps://rules.cityofnewyork.us/content/amendment-general-vital-statistics-provisions-article-207-nyc-health-code Marriage records are under the purview of the City Clerk's Office, not of the NYCDoHMH and therefore, are not covered by this rule. To read previous articles on NYCDoHMH rule on access to birth and death records, see the IAJGS Records Access Alert archives at: http://lists.iajgs.org/mailman/private/records-access-alerts. You must be registered to access the archives. To register for the IAJGS Records Access Alert go to: http://lists.iajgs.org/mailman/ and fill in the missing blanks.

(Latin America) Genetic Study of Latin Americans Reveals History of Converso Migration
#general
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. To read about the study see The Atlantic at: https://tinyurl.com/yam25uhb Original url: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/12/dna-reveals-the-hidden-jewish-ancestry-of-latin-americans/578509/ Jan Meisels Allen Chairperson, IAJGS Public Records Access Monitoring Committee

(France) French National Rail to Build Holocaust Museum at Former Pithiviers Station
#france
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.

Ukraine SIG and the IAJGS conference in Cleveland
#ukraine
Janette Silverman
Dear Friends:
Planning is underway for the Ukraine SIG events at the annual IAJGS conference, this year in Cleveland, OH 28 Jul - 2 Aug 2019. We always have a SIG lunch and a general meeting, and participate in the Share Fair. I don't know the day and time for any of these events yet, and won't know, until the programming committee finishes the hard work of planning all the sessions. Right now, I'm asking for suggestions for a speaker for the lunch - if anyone has a particular topic or speaker they would like addressed, please email me privately at ukrainesig.coordinator@... Similarly, if there is anything in particular you would like addressed at the general meeting, I would like your thoughts, also sent to me privately. In the past several years, at the lunch, we have had Ukraine SIG members speak about their own travel in Ukraine (we did this in Jerusalem and in Poland), we have also had outside speakers - Eric Goldman discussed "Everything is Illuminated" in advance of the film being shown at one o fthe conferences, Yochai Ben Ghedalya of the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People (CAHJP) spoke at another conference. At the general meeting, we usually discuss several projects that are underway, how to create a project and fund it, becoming a town leader, and more. We will also need volunteers to help at the Share Fair table, so please keep in mind that I'll be putting a call out for volunteers once I know when the Share Fair will be. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you in Ohio. Next week I'll be sending out a message about upcoming additions to the JewishGen Database >from Ukraine SIG. I wish everyone a wonderful 2019 Janette -- Dr. Janette Silverman JewishGen Ukraine-SIG Coordinator ukrainesig.coordinator@... http://www.jewishgen.org/Ukraine/default.asp https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ukraine-SIG/180102942060505

(US-Kansas) Early Jewish (US) Prairie Settlements
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
In the 1882 before the Baron de Hirsh Fund launched the Jewish Agricultural
Society, the Beersheeba colony in Kansas was funded and conceived by the Hebrew Union Agricultural Society. This was the brainchild of Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, founder of the American Jewish Reform Movement. Jews had to flee Russia after Czar Alexander lll rescinded the more lenient Jewish policies developed by his late father. Under the new edicts, Jews were prohibited >from owning or leasing land and subject to pogroms. Rabbi Wise funded the resettlement program with appeals through the American Israelite publication. The US government promised via the Homestead Act, 160 acres to any citizen or would-be citizen who improved their acreage, built a dwelling or resided there for five years. Beersheba community members would homestead in Southwestern Kansas. By July 1882, 59 families were selected by the Society to populate the settlement. Beersheeba was not the only farming community to be established for Jews in the Western U.S. Communities were settled in Colorado, North Dakota, and in Oregon. Due to disputes the Beersheeba community started to seek their fortunes elsewhere- although about half stayed in Beersheeba, but it ended in 1887, but six other short-lived agricultural communities, were established between 1883 and 1890 .

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.
