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

#poland
Joyce Field
JewishGen is pleased to announce that the JewishGen Online Worldwide
Burial Registry (JOWBR) has now reached a milestone. With the current quarterly update, this searchable database exceeds one million records! We have been able to accomplish this feat because of donations of data and photographs >from hundreds of individuals and organizations. We also want to thank the translators who assisted by translating the inscriptions on photographs of matzevot and entering the data into our template. In addition, as many of you know, JOWBR could not function without Nolan Altman, Max Heffler, Michael Tobias, and Warren Blatt. Following are the number of records added to each country in the past quarter. There are too many cemeteries and landsmanschaft plots covered in this update to enumerate. The total number of cemeteries in JOWBR is now 1,929, and total number of burials is 1,006,675. New burial records by country follow: Belarus: 392 Canada: 15,993 Germany: 1,214 Hungary: 28 India: 104 Moldova: 3,410 Romania: 246 Ukraine: 968 USA: 10,074 As you travel this year and visit ancestral towns or towns in your current country of residence, please consider recording data >from the Jewish cemeteries and/or photographing all the tombstones in the cemetery or landsmanschaft plot for JOWBR.

Nurit BenZvi <nurit07@...>
Dear Genners,
In continuation to my message posted April 15, I would like to add some new information regarding Max AUERBACH, that I just got >from a Genner in California. 1 - According to the Souvenir Journal of the Zwantchiker Podolier Young Men Benevolent Association, >from 1939, one of the founders was Max AUERBACH who initiated the Zwantchiker Podolier Young Men, in October 1913. 2 In that year, 1913, Max must have been 35 years old, because his passenger record, found at the Ellis Island archive, indicates that when he immigrated to the US, in 1904, he was 26 years old. 3 Max AUERBACH had two sons, Phillip and Ben, the former who was the older, joint the Zwantchiker Podlier association in 1935. 4 Max AUERBACH lived on 636 East 5th street, Manhattan, in 1913, where the first meeting of the association took place (according to the Souvenir Journal, mentioned above). 5 He is buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery. I would like to ask first, how do I confirm (or reject) the possibility that this Max AUERBACH is the brother of my grandfather, Maier (or Meyer-Moritz) AUERBACH? And, second, anyone knows anything about his two sons? I will appreciate any idea or suggestion sent to my private mail. Nurit Ben-Zvi, Rechovot, Israel Researching: AUERBACH >from Podolsk; Czernowitz AUERBACH >from Mannheim, HALM >from Czernowitz; Kolomiya LORBER >from Czernowitz(?); New York

Re: Jerusalem birth records

Asher <aarbit@...>
David,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Your quip that "some things never change" is not appropriate here. In the US census, the country of birth is listed, not the city of birth. Jerusalem is the name of a city that was located - in 1910 - in Palestine. Technically, it would have been correct to write "Turkey" instead of "Palestine". Crossed-out city names like this are a valuable gift to genealogists! I have seen things like "Shepetovka" (which is very useful to me)crossed out and replaced with "Russia".

#romania
Joyce Field
JewishGen is pleased to announce that the JewishGen Online Worldwide
Burial Registry (JOWBR) has now reached a milestone. With the current quarterly update, this searchable database exceeds one million records! We have been able to accomplish this feat because of donations of data and photographs >from hundreds of individuals and organizations. We also want to thank the translators who assisted by translating the inscriptions on photographs of matzevot and entering the data into our template. In addition, as many of you know, JOWBR could not function without Nolan Altman, Max Heffler, Michael Tobias, and Warren Blatt. Following are the number of records added to each country in the past quarter. There are too many cemeteries and landsmanschaft plots covered in this update to enumerate. The total number of cemeteries in JOWBR is now 1,929, and total number of burials is 1,006,675.
