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
Viewmate: Molodova town location in US census
#general
Jeff Marx
Friends:
The members of my Birnbaum family all come >from Belz (today, Balti, Moldova). The 1920 census, however, lists one family member who stayed, for a time, in another Rumanian town. This is a two-part challenge: to correctly decipher the name of the town and then to locate it in Moldova. While I think the image that I've posted is relatively clear, I've been unable to locate a town using reasonable name variations. I've posted the census entry on Viewmate: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM34624 and would be grateful for any suggestions. Jeff Marx

Seeking: Allan & Annette Gore in England
#general
Ruth & Bruce Lynn <lynn33@...>
Hello English Geners,
I'd love some help finding a couple of long-lost cousins of my father. They are a brother and sister, and probably both married, and both were born in the early 1950's in London. I don't know Annette's married name, but I think she may have two children. The other branches of our family in England, Australia, and the US have also lost touch with them. There's no emergency, but I'd love to send them a copy of our mutual and extensive RUSS family tree, and catch up on their family news. Thanks very much for any help and advice. Ruth Nadelman Lynn Lexington, MA Researching: Nadelmann, Russ, Wolff, and Lewinsohn >from Stettin,Pomerania; Culm, West Prussia; Thorn, West Prussia; Lissa, Posen; & Berlin

KATZOVICH

Bob Pasker <bob@...>
Hi Fellow Researchers --
I am trying to break through on my grandmother Dina KATSOVICH's family. Her tree and the primary sources I have can be found here: http://goo.gl/Gi0sxD She was born in 1905 in Kishinev, moved to Cuba and married my grandfather in the '20s, then came to the USA in '56. Family history has it that her parents came >from Minsk. I have exhausted all the JewishGen and Ancestry sources for Kishinev and Minsk, and I have also look at Vilnia, which seems to have some KATZOVICH families. I'm wondering if anyone could have a look at the primary sources that I have for her and her family, and possibly make some suggestions, or maybe might also be researching KATSOVICH or her mother's family BUBERMAN. Here again is a link to the sources: http://goo.gl/Gi0sxD Thanks, Bob Pasker MODERATOR NOTE: Private replies only, please, unless there is data that can be of help to the List.

Shalom,
from time to time, I ponder the enormity of the project we are involved in -the Yizkor Book Project, which involves the translation of hundreds of Yizkor books with their scores of pages, >from their original languages (usually Hebrew and Yiddish) into English and other languages. It is a huge undertaking but I am encouraged to see that month by month, section by section, paragraph by paragraph, more and more of the secrets hidden in these books are revealed. What we find in them are stories of lives and lifestyles that no longer exist and, on a darker side, unfathomable stories of man's inhumanity to man. There is certainly so much to do but my encouragement comes >from the large number of people who dedicate so much of their time to the project and am heartened to see that others continue to join our ranks. For those who have yet to join us, I welcome your participation in any way you are able and welcome you to contact me so that I can explain in more detail what is involved. This past month, yet another book in the Yizkor Book Project has been completely translated - "In memory of the life and destruction of the Jewish community of Goniadz" (Goniadz, Poland) which is coordinated by Suzanne Scheraga. My heartfelt thanks go out to Suzanne for this achievement for her many years of involvement in another Goniadz Yizkor book which we also hope to see completed in the very near future. If I have managed to raise your curiosity about the Yizkor Book Project and you will be attending the IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy at the end of this month, I warmly invite you to the Yizkor Books Birds of a Feather meeting which, as in previous years, will be led by Jan Meisels Allen. This is a golden opportunity to learn and ask questions about the project >from Jan who has extensive experience in translation coordination within the Yizkor Book Project and also has wide knowledge in the genealogical field, in general. For those of you who are attending the conference, I wish you an enlightening and enjoyable time and, of course, pleasant get-togethers with your fellow researchers. Now to facts and figures for June. During this last month we have added in 2 new projects: - Parysow, Poland (Parysow; a memorial to the Jewish community of Parysow, Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Parysow/Parysow.html - Stoczek, Poland (Memorial Book of Stok, Near Wegrow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stoczek/Stoczek.html Added in a new entry: - Skuodas, Lithuania (Lithuania) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lita/lit1513.html We have continued to update 21 of our existing projects: - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dej, Romania (Des..., Bethlen, Magyarlapos, Retteg, Nagyilonda and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dej/dej.html - Dieveniskes, Lithuania (Devenishki book; memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dieveniskes/dieveniskes.html - Dzialoszyce, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Jewish Community in Dzialoszyce and Surroundings) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dzialoszyce/Dzialoszyce.html - Golub-Dobrzyn, Poland (In Memory of the Communities Dobrzyn-Gollob) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/golub_dobrzyn/golub_dobrzyn.html - Goniadz, Poland (In memory of the life and destruction of the Jewish community of Goniadz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz1/goniadz1.html - Karelichy, Belarus (Korelitz; the life and destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/korelicze/korelicze.html - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kolomyya, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kolomey) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolomyya/kolomyya.html - Kozienice, Poland (The book of Kozienice; The birth and the destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kozienice/kozienice.html - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Serock, Poland (The book of Serock) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/serock/serock.html - Siedlce, Poland (The Jews in Siedlce 1850-1945) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Siedlce3/Siedlce3.html - Sierpc, Poland (The Community of Sierpc; Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sierpc/Sierpc.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Stolin, Belarus (Stolin; a memorial to the Jewish communities of Stolin and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stolin/stolin.html - Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stryj2/stryj2.html - Szczebrzeszyn, Poland (The Book of Memory to the Jewish Community of Shebreshin) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Szczebrzeszyn/Szczebrzeszyn.html - Wieliczka, Poland (The Jewish community of Wieliczka; a memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Wieliczka/Wieliczka.html - Zolochiv, Ukraine (The Destruction of Zloczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zolochiv/Zolochiv.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.
