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

My mother told me that the first wife of a cousin of
hers died after eating hot bread, which caused her to have serious stomach problems. Could this have actually been caused by ergot? Rose Elbaum Potomac, MD

Litvaks from "Belarus"
#lithuania
Irene Newhouse <einew@...>
"Belarus" is a recent concept. In the Russian Empire, which means up to
1917, what is now Belarus was divided up into several different guberniya - the Russian equivalent of a state in the US or a province in other countries. In the period after WWI & before WWII, what is now Belarus was divided between Poland [west] & The USSR [east]. Before that, there was a shifting history of rule by one empire or another. In these fought-over regions, your "official" ethnicity & the languages which you admitted speaking were political statements as much as anything else. My father's cousin was born in Lida, now in Belarus, in 1907. She grew up in Warsaw after WWI. On her immigration documents, she called herself a Pole. The logcial choice would have been Russian, in that Lida was in the Russian Empire at the time of her birth. However, she detested the Russian government even more than that of Poland, so she called herself a Pole. My father grew up in what is now Sovetsk, >from the age of 2, having been born in Vilnius. He left Sovetsk, then Tilsit, East Prussia, Germany, for Berlin after WWI ended. He always considered himself a German & German is the language he spoke best, although he recalled his mother telling him Russian fairy tales in Russian. Just before the 1936 Olympics, he left Berlin for Prague, where he had a hard time making himself understood in a combination of German, Russian & a Czech-German dictionary. He was stunned when, in 1938, right after the Germans took over, people who had always acted as if they'd never even heard of German were, overnight, speaking perfect German! It so unnerved him, he hid on trains, crossing Germany illegally, was caught near the Dutch border & sent to Dachau. Finally, I have read in some places on the web that the 1897 Revision List from areas now in Belarus was more accurate than Polish censuses in the 20s& 30s because the Poles "deliberately" inflated the numbers of ethnic Poles in the region. First, I see no reason not to accuse the Russian Empire of deliberately under-representing the numbers of ethnic Poles in the region, because they wanted to convince the world it's a Russian area. Each regime would have had pretty much equal motivation. But actually, I would not at all be suprised if multi-lingual people, who are very common in such regions, chose to shift their "official" ethnicity >from Russian to Polish when the regime changed. There are SO many perks associated with belonging to the dominant group!! I am therefore not at all surprised to hear stories of ancestors whose ethnic affiliation doesn't match current gegraphical & politicall reality. First, the current geographical & political reality in these regions is recent & 2nd, such affiliations seem to have been more a state of mind, partly influenced by pragmatism.
