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

from Sharkovshchina to Shkuntiki
#lithuania
Salinger Ralph
Dear Readers,
I am posting this for a friend Looking at the All Lithuania Revision List Database (Pt. 2) (Family List, 1888), my gggrandfather, Mendel Pinkus IUDIN, is listed as living in the Shkuntiki village, Igumen area, Disna, Vilnius. [Family List, LVIA/681/17/1103] Under the "Comments" section it notes that he was "registered in Sharkov JC, lived in the village >from 1868". 1. What does the "JC" stand for? 2.Does this mean that Mendel moved >from Sharkovshchina to Shkuntiki, but the registry wasn't updated to the new location? My grandfather (Mendel's grandson), Shimon/Sam YUDIN, said that he came >from Sharkovshchina [this is about 9.5 miles >from Shkuntiki, unless he was referring to the district & not the village]. 3. What registry does this refer to? Does it still exist? Is the original page available online? Ralph Salinger

Re: Do you recognize a town called Zezmova?

I'm afraid that town Sosnove in Ukraine is not the researched "Zezmova".
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Town Sosnove was known prior to the end of WWII in Polish as Ludwipol in Volhynia region. It had also distinguished Yiddish name of Slishch Gadol. Please also note that in the JewshGen's Gazetteer town still known under is post WWII Russian name: Sosnovoye. USBGN on which JewishGen is based, gradually moving to modern Ukrainian names. As to "Zezmova", which I believe is Lithuanian Ziezmariai, was also known under Zezmar, Zezmer, Zhizmory and few similar names. Alexander Sharon JGFF editor From: Phyllis Kramer phylliskramer1@...

What happened to Meyer ZALMONOVITZ?
#general
Rachelle Litt
Hello Genners, I hope someone out there can help me bust through a frustrating
brick wall. You have never failed me. In 1901 my great grandmother Shore ZALMONOVITZ (SALMONOWITZ) came to Philadelphia aboard the Phoenicia >from Hamburg (originally Taurogen) with her children, Abram, Meyer, Chana and Estor. I have both the English and German versions of the manifest. On June 4, 1917 Meyer registered for the draft and listed a wife and 4 children. He was still living in Philadelphia at 2515 S 7th Street. It said he had made a declaration for citizenship. His birthdate is listed at May 15, 1888. The only other record I can find listing a Meyer ZALMONOVITZ is a death certificate for a Sarah BROTFUS with a birthdate of 1863 who died on August 10, 1925 at the age of 62. Sarah ZALMONOVITZ was born around 1861 per the manifest. The death certificate, however lists her father as Meyer ZALMONOVITZ and mother as Eva COHEN. The information on the death certificate was provided by Morris ARONOVITZ who was the husband of Meyer's sister-in-law Anna ZALMONOVITZ. (She is the wife of Meyers brother Abram ( Harry) my ggf. So I know I have the correct family, however Sarah (who may have re-married to Brotfus? and also went by the surname KAISER per her children's marriage and death documents) could not be Meyer's daughter because he was born in 1888, 25 years after Sarah was born. I suppose it is possible that Meyer >from 1888 was named for Sarah's father so there are two Meyer ZALMONOVITZ. The real dilemma is that there are no other records for Meyer (1888) and his wife and 4 children. Meyer was living in Philadelphia in 1917 as per the draft registration. There should be some census records, a death certificate and the naturalization documents he said he had applied for in the Southeastern District Court of Pennsylvania. Also there is no other record for a Sarah BROTFUS- or a BROTFUS of any other kind except for that death certificate. Could never figure out how Sarah was a Kaiser or a Brotfus! Help please!
