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

I am replying to Hilary Pillin's query: I note she comes >from Oxford -
my home town. There is a Jewish community in Oxford: I'm sure someone there would be interested in helping. Searching in Jewish genealogy is harder than for English genealogy. And when Jews changed names, often they used the same initial letter, but not always. Yechutiel could easily have become Donald or Ferdinand or Alexander - whatever the man wanted. Name changes & more importantly, Naturalizations were sometimes recorded in the London Gazette: have a look at: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=48920.0 But everyone leaves a paper trail in history - principally the records for birth, marriage, death, religious coming of age (circumcision, barmitzvah/confirmation) May I suggest Hilary joins these online groups: JGSGB; https://www.jgsgb.org.uk/ Ancestry: http://www.ancestry.co.uk - I don't think a serious genealogist can work without being a subscriber to Ancestry. www.FamilySearch.org -which is free, run by the Mormons And for UK searches: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ There are, as she says, a frightening number of websites & searches possible. If you join the JGSGB & come to a meeting in London (there is also a Chilterns group) her search will proceed further. Best: Miriam Margolyes yarrawa@gmail.com now in Sicily --- From: Hilary Pillin<HillyP@live.co.uk> My great, great grandmother was Julia COWAN b1824 in Finsbury, Middlesex, London. She married (I believe) a William Young who was a lot older than her, b. 1798, and they had my great-grandfather Alexander in 1858. In the 1851 Anglo-Jewry Database there is reference to Julia's father being Yechutiel HACHOEN. Julia had two brothers, Solomon and Isaac and three sisters Fanny, Sarah and Hannah.
