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
Ellis Island certificate of landing
#general
Jim Gutterman
On one of my requests for naturalization documents, they included one
of these certificates in with the rest of the materials they sent me. This was the one and only time I received it, however, out of maybe 10-15 requests I've made total. James Gutterman snip... Immigrants arriving at Ellis Island before 1906 received a Certificate of Landing upon leaving the processing center. snip...

assistance with photo identification (time frame, place)
#poland
Debbi Schaubman
I have posted to ViewMate a photograph that belonged to my grandfather
(Mosche SZAUBMAN/SZOBMAN). No one in the family is sure who these people are or, for that matter, where or when the picture was taken. The current hypothesis is that it may be a photo of the family of my ggf Noach GERSZTENBLIT, his 2nd wife, and his many children. If so, the photo would date >from Lublin in (approximately) 1910. I'd like to know if the clothing, hair styles, etc. are consistent with that hypothesis. The photo is at http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=17096 Please reply privately or via ViewMate. Thanks for your help.

[...] that will allow me to input mentors and disciples and to show graphically, connections between them." Hi, Since what you're looking for is "very specialized", if no other perfect solution turns up, you could possibly use software like "Brother's Keeper" that allows creating an "Event/Fact" with respect to any individual in the tree, plus naming witnesses to the "Event/Fact" and then assign the "Mentors" as witnesses to this "Event/Fact" (for example Education)... And use a second different ""Event/Fact" (any one of the dozens that Brother's Keeper has built in) and name the "Disciples" as "Witnesses" to this event. In Brother's Keeper, "Witnesses" become part of the family tree and therefore could also be assigned wives, children, Mentors, Disciples and other "Events/Facts" as well as relationships of their own. Friendly regards, Alan (Ehrlich) Geneva, Switzerland MODERATOR NOTE: Detailed discussion of the operations of specific genealogy programs is beyond the scope of JewishGen lists. Please continue the discussion of the details of how Brother's Keeper handles "Events/Facts" privately. Suggestions of other programs that can do what Mordecai Perlman is looking for will be considered for posting.

Nevertheless, the Sages (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Chulin 139b) did find a source for Esther in the Torah in the verse (Deuteronomy 31:18) "And I will surely HIDE My Face on that day". Therefore, Esther means "hidden". Additionally, the Sages state that "Esther" in Persian is a name given to someone as beautiful as the "moon". Now, as for the first option, there are no masculine names in the Bible that are suitable or common for "hidden". But for a name at least containing a word meaning moon, there are two. On is Y'rocham (see Samuel I,1:1). This is a somewhat common name. Some use instead "Y'rucham", which is more common.

How to find European locations for name AUGUS,AUGUST,AUGUSTOWSKY
#general
Susan Goldsmith
Dear SIG,
Yisroel Shapiro of Jerusalem requested help in determining where in Europe his family name AUGUS,AUGUST,AUGUSTOWSKY,AUGUSTOWSKI appears. Yisroel, I suggest that you consult the books of a brilliant young scholar named Alexander Beider who has studied onomastics (names) and the places where Jewish surnames are found. You can use the site www.worldcat.org to locate the library nearest to you that has his books. Beider's books include: * Beider, A. 1996. A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames >from the Kingdom of Poland. Teaneck, NJ: Avotaynu.["Best Judaica Reference Book" award for 1996] * Beider, A. 1993, 2008. A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames >from the Russian Empire. Teaneck, NJ: Avotaynu. * Beider, A. 2004. A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames >from Galicia. Bergenfield, NJ: Avotaynu. * Beider, A. 1995. Jewish Surnames >from Prague (15th-18th centuries). Teaneck, NJ: Avotaynu. * Beider, A. 2010. Etymology of Sephardic Surnames: Achievements and Perspectives. Pleasant Are Their Names: Jewish Names in the Sephardi Diaspora. Bethesda, MD: Maryland University Press, pp. 23-77. These are books that may also prove useful to you at some point: * Beider, A. 2001. A Dictionary of Ashkenazic Given Names: Their Origins, Structure, Pronunciation, and Migrations. Bergenfield, NJ: Avotaynu. * Beider, A. 2009. Handbook of Ashkenazic Given Names and Their Variants. Bergenfield, NJ: Avotaynu. Because the borders of Eastern European countries changed frequently over the years you may want to consult more than one of the surname books above. Good luck in your research.
