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

NYC Health Dept. Public Hearing
#general
Chuck Weinstein <cmw521@...>
The NYC Health Department maintains the Vital Records for the city of New
York. Currently, birth records are supposed to be turned over to the city's Municipal Archives 100 years after the birth and 50 years after the death of people in NYC. Once that happens, the records become public records and are accessible to anyone who wants to see them. The Health Dept. is now proposing to extend the records hold for 125 years, in the case of birth records, and 75 years, in the case of death records. During that time, birth records are available only to parents and the child. Death records would be available only to the parents, children, and grandchildren of the deceased, the informant on the certificate, and pursuant to a court order for probating an estate. The Health Department will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 24 at 10:00 at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Gotham Center, 42-09 28th Street, 3rd Floor, Room 3-32, Long Island City, 11101 to hear comments >from the public on this proposal. Members of the general public will be given an opportunity to speak on this issue. If you can't make the meeting, you can share your comments with the department via their web site at https://rules.cityofnewyork.us/content/proposed-amendment-general-vital-statistics-provisions-article-207-nyc-health-code-regarding [or http://tinyurl.com/ybnd5kjk --Mod.] The period for commenting will close on October 24 at 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time.

Re: Help needed: Finding birth registration on FamilySearch
#hungary
iris.edit1@...
I have the original birth certificate of my grandmother's sister
(registration date: July 20, 1914; birth date: July 18, 1914). According to it, I checked the film in the IV district (as it says) - births 1914, and not the registration number (286) nor the date matches. I made sure there are no jumps or missing data, but I could not find it. Where else could I look for the registration record? Thank you, Iris Israeli iris.edit1@gmail.com Moderator: Please respond off-list unless info will be of general interest.
