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 tried the link as it was written in the GerSIG message, but my browser
could not find it. I did find it, however, on the website of the USHMM, which redirected me to the correct site: http://www.annapizzuti.it/index.php. I do not know why the link on the original email failed, because it seems indentical. In short, I was able to find my father's uncle, Marco WEINBERG, and cousin, Erwin WEINBERG, on the list. They survived and settled in Milano afterwards. Shalom, Rabbi Dr. Norbert Weinberg norofra@sbcglobal.net Reasearching Family Records of WEINBERG( Dolyna/Ukraine, Vienna/Austria,Frankfurt AM, Germany)

Index to 1897 Russian Census Head of Households in Kyiv Guberniya Online

Gary Mokotoff
Index to 1897 Russian Census Head of Households in Kyiv Guberniya Online
Professional genealogist Sarah Nadia Lipes has placed online an index to heads of households in Kyiv guberniya found in the 1897 Russian Census. It is located at http://jewua.info/jewish-genealogy-search-at-ukraine/. Information provided is surname; given name; patronymic; age; and fond, document and page numbers. There are approximately 50,000 entries. The search engine uses a "Starts with" algorithm. Searching for "Kagan" also produces results for "Kaganovich." Lipes stated that the project is a work-in-progress, and she expects "to add many thousands of additional names in coming weeks and months." She recommends researchers read the instructions page at http://jewua.info/how-to-make-a-search/ before attempting a search. That page has, for example, the transliteration scheme used to go >from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet. For a fee, Lipes will provide a photocopy of the original census document which includes full family information. The project was funded by a grant provided by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., host of the American genealogy show Finding Your Roots. Gates had a person of Ukrainian ancestry on his show and provided documents to demonstrate the person's ancestry. Lipes informed Gates that the research was faulty and provided him with the correct documents. Gates was so impressed by Lipes work, that he donated his honorarium for speaking at the recent IAJGS Orlando conference to make it possible to place the Kyiv census records online. Gary Mokotoff

More to come about programming at a later date, but we realize that the starting times might be of use to planning your arrival into Warsaw. All official conference events (lectures, panels, receptions and workshops) will be held at the Hilton Warsaw Hotel which is located at 63 Grzybowska Street for the convenience of our attendees. We have reserved all regular hotel rooms at the Hilton and they are blocked for only IAJGS conference use at the present time. We will soon open hotel registration through a link to a special webpage provided by Hilton. We will only guarantee rooms in the conference hotel with proof of conference registration to be sure that the hotel will be filled by conference attendees. The special conference price will include: free wifi, access to the Holmes Place exercise club, and an amazing breakfast buffet - all at a very reasonable price. So stay tuned, and if you are ready to sign up for the conference and pay for registration, please do... and tell all your friends to join us too! Looking forward to seeing you in Warsaw!
