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

In Memory of Fritz Neubauer -"Fritz represented the very best of JewishGen. He was a mensch in the best sense of the word."
#germany
John Paul Lowens <jplowens@...>
If you have an memory of how GerSIG's late friend
Fritz Neubauer was helpful to GerSIG, JewishGen or your own family research please send it to: GerSIGmod@.... My interactions with this wonderful man were limited to email. I had posted an inquiry asking if anyone could translate the 4-page bill emailed by the Stadtarchiv in Dusseldorf. Fritz responded that they wanted 8 Euros to email my great grandmother's death certificate and the remaining 3 pages were legalese/bureaucratese about my appeal rights. So then I posted an inquiry asking if anyone had ideas how I could pay 8 Euros for this death certificate when the government office only accepted wire transfers and a wire transfer would cost me $40. Fritz emailed me and offered to pay the fee and suggested I could pay him back in zlotys if I was planning to attend the IAJGS in Warsaw later that year. Since I wasn't planning to attend, he gave me his daughter's mailing address in the US where I could mail the reimbursement check. He had never met me but immediately sent off "the princely sum" ( his words) of 8 Euros and followed up with the government office to ensure its receipt and application to my document request. When I told him I had family who had lived once in Bielefeld, he immediately offered to assist in any research I needed. Fritz represented the very best of JewishGen. He was a mensch in the best sense of the word. Elaine Berghausen

Seeking Abel GIDES from Lithuania in Israel
#lithuania
Susan Goldsmith
Dear SIG,
I am hoping to find Abel GIDES, b. 1920 Seta (Shat), Ukmerge, Kaunas, Lithuania whom I believe was liberated >from Dachau, and emigrated to Israel in 1973. I am seeking Abel or his family.

GerSig:
I was so sorry to learn about his death. Mr. Neubauer z"l generously provided detailed information regarding the location, date and circumstances of our paternal grandmother's and aunt's deaths at Kovno, Lithuania. Up to that point, no one in our family ever knew this information--not even our parents knew. It brought us great peace of mind having this final chapter of our family's life resolved once and for all. We will always be grateful. May his memory be a blessing.
