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

DESCHERE or TEIXEIRA from Hamburg
#germany
Cary
I recently found out that I am a DESCHERE descendant >from Hamburg.
My 4x great grandmother Kele DESCHERE died there in 1847. She was the daughter of Yehuda Arye Loeb DESCHERE, and married to my 4x great grandfather, Levin Heymann (Yehuda Loeb bar Hayyim) WAGENER. DESCHERE is a very unusual name and there is speculation that the family is really TEIXEIRA >from Hamburg. The TEIXEIRA family was Sephardic originally from Lisbon. The documented TEIXEIRA family came to Hamburg in 1648 and leftHamburg for Amsterdam in 1698. I believe my TEIXEIRA line continued on as DESCHERE in Hamburg. If anyone knows more about DESCHERE or TEIXEIRA >from Altona/Hamburg, please contact me. Cary Aufseeser, Newton, MA cary@rcn.com

look-up at the National Archives
#unitedkingdom
Myra Waddell
Here's an Aussie (born in London) asking a favour of someone visiting
the Archives, someone who would be prepared to do a naturalisation application look-up for me to check whether the applicant concerned was my mother's first cousin. His name was Max Posner. I have the reference number of the document and, if you email me, I am able to give you plenty of identifying information to ensure that we're looking at the right person. I will be in London very briefly in July and, of course, will go to the Archives to collect the "right" document. However, I remember that the last time I went there, it took ages to fill in the required document to renew my card and, since I only have such a limited time, I really need to know in advance whether the gentleman in question is my relative. I'd rather be catching up with family than going on a wild goose chase. Thanks so much, in advance. Myra Waddell. BORKOVSKY - Kolno, Poland; Irkutsk, Siberia; Hailar and Harbin, China; Israel. BORZIANSKY - Kamyanets-Podolskiy and Vinnitsa, Ukraine. GOLDENBERG - Bucharest, Romania; Paris, France. England. HOFFMAN - Braila and Bucharest, Romania. UZNER/HAUSNER/OSNER/POSNER - Chotyn and Kishinev, Bessarabia/Romania. MODERATOR NOTE: Please respond to Myra privately.

Yizkor Book Project, May 2018
#hungary
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
It is always very gratifying to look back and see what accomplishments we've managed to achieve in the Yizkor Book Project over the previous month. I would now like to outline some of these accomplishments: To begin with, in what has become a regular section of our monthly report, once again, I am pleased to announce the completion of a further 3 Yizkor Book projects and they are: - Children Train - An additional book written by the indefatigable, William Leibner, which was carefully edited by Erica S. Goldman-Brodie and Toby Bird z”l. We are extremely indebted to receive this further addition to our project. - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) - This book has been the "baby" of Gloria Berkenstat Freund over quite a few years. Together with the many other translation projects she works on, she has managed to completely translate this extensive volume. Our deep appreciation goes out to Gloria for the completion of this project which joins a number of other books previously translated by her on the Czestochowa community that we have online. - Roman, Romania (The Jewish Community of Roman) A book that was kindly translated by a number of volunteer translators and has been meticulously edited and translations supplemented by Yocheved Klausner, allowing us to present the completed volume online. We now have 150 completely online and if you are "concerned" that we soon won't have nothing to do, we do have a further 750 Yizkor book projects that are work in progress, so there are huge challenges still ahead of us. We are always looking out for volunteer assistance and financial support in our endeavor to advance these projects and if you are able to assist in any manner, I would be pleased to hear >from you. In particular, I would like to hear >from you if you are knowledgeable in Hebrew or Yiddish and have a background in editing and, most importantly, are able to volunteer some time to the project, this would be assistance that would definitely help us go forward. And on regular sections, again, we have the honor of announcing the publishing of two new books through the auspices of the Yizkor Books in Print Project, bringing the total number of books published by this group to 70 - a humble hats off to them! - Memorial Book of 13 Shtetls of Galicia - Another book written by William Leibner (yes, the name is now very familiar) that was attentively edited by Ingrid Rockberger and covers 13 communities, not all of which, previously had their own Yizkor book. - There Was A Shtetl In Lithuania: Dusiat Reflected In Reminiscences - A quite considerable volume (960 pages) dedicated to the community of Dusiat (Dusetos) which was laboriously compiled by Sara Weiss-Slep and further painstakingly edited and produced by Hedva Scop and Olga Zabludoff. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in May. We have added in one new book: - Monor, Hungary (Bound by Fate: In Memory of the Jewish Community of Monor) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Monor/Monor.html We have added in 7 new entries: - Bolimow, Poland (Lowicz; a Town in Mazovia, Memorial Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lowicz/low367.html - Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Poland (Memorial Book of the Communities Wadowice, Andrychow, Kalwarja, Myslenice, Sucha) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wadowice/wad374.html - Lisiewice, Poland (Lowicz; a Town in Mazovia, Memorial Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lowicz/low365.html - Prienai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_368.html - Sobota, Poland (Lowicz; a Town in Mazovia, Memorial Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lowicz/low366.html - Sokolow Malopolski, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume III) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol3_00276.html - Telsiai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_531.html And we have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Children Train https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Children_Train/Children_Train.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland (Book of the Jewish Community of Dabrowa Gornicza and its Destruction) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dabrowa/dabrowa.html - Dieveniskis, Lithuania (Devenishki book; memorial book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dieveniskes/dieveniskes.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jonava/Jonava.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Miedzyrzec Podlaski, Poland (Mezritsh Book, in Memory of the Martyrs of our City) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miedzyrzec_Podlaski/Miedzyrzec_Podlaski.html [or https://tinyurl.com/Sefer-Mezritsh --Mod.] - Naliboki, Belarus (Our town Nalibok, its existence and destruction) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Naliboki/Naliboki.html - Nesvizh, Belarus (The Nesvizh Yizkor Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nesvizh/nesvizh.html - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Nowy_Dwor/Nowy_Dworp.html [Polish] - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrowiec; a monument on the ruins of an annihilated Jewish community) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec/ostrowiec.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Rivne, Ukraine (Rowno; a memorial to the Jewish community of Rowno, Wolyn) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/rovno/rovno.html - Roman, Romania (The Jewish Community of Roman) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Roman/Roman.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Tarnow, Poland (The life and decline of a Jewish city) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tarnow/tarnow.html - Telsiai, Lithuania (Telsiai Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Telsiai/telsiai.html - The Jacob Rassen Story https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JacobRassen/JacobRassen.html - Tovste, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tluste) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tovste/tovste.html - We want to live https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/WantToLive/WantToLive.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.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 [or https://tinyurl.com/YB-Translation --Mod.] where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Shalom,
It is always very gratifying to look back and see what accomplishments we've managed to achieve in the Yizkor Book Project over the previous month. I would now like to outline some of these accomplishments: To begin with, in what has become a regular section of our monthly report, once again, I am pleased to announce the completion of a further 3 Yizkor Book projects and they are: - Children Train - An additional book written by the indefatigable, William Leibner, which was carefully edited by Erica S. Goldman-Brodie and Toby Bird z”l. We are extremely indebted to receive this further addition to our project. - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) - This book has been the "baby" of Gloria Berkenstat Freund over quite a few years. Together with the many other translation projects she works on, she has managed to completely translate this extensive volume. Our deep appreciation goes out to Gloria for the completion of this project which joins a number of other books previously translated by her on the Czestochowa community that we have online. - Roman, Romania (The Jewish Community of Roman) A book that was kindly translated by a number of volunteer translators and has been meticulously edited and translations supplemented by Yocheved Klausner, allowing us to present the completed volume online. We now have 150 completely online and if you are "concerned" that we soon won't have nothing to do, we do have a further 750 Yizkor book projects that are work in progress, so there are huge challenges still ahead of us. We are always looking out for volunteer assistance and financial support in our endeavor to advance these projects and if you are able to assist in any manner, I would be pleased to hear >from you. In particular, I would like to hear >from you if you are knowledgeable in Hebrew or Yiddish and have a background in editing and, most importantly, are able to volunteer some time to the project, this would be assistance that would definitely help us go forward. And on regular sections, again, we have the honor of announcing the publishing of two new books through the auspices of the Yizkor Books in Print Project, bringing the total number of books published by this group to 70 - a humble hats off to them! - Memorial Book of 13 Shtetls of Galicia - Another book written by William Leibner (yes, the name is now very familiar) that was attentively edited by Ingrid Rockberger and covers 13 communities, not all of which, previously had their own Yizkor book. - There Was A Shtetl In Lithuania: Dusiat Reflected In Reminiscences - A quite considerable volume (960 pages) dedicated to the community of Dusiat (Dusetos) which was laboriously compiled by Sara Weiss-Slep and further painstakingly edited and produced by Hedva Scop and Olga Zabludoff.

Yizkor Book Project, May 2018

bounce-3526146-772957@...
Shalom,
It is always very gratifying to look back and see what accomplishments we've managed to achieve in the Yizkor Book Project over the previous month. I would now like to outline some of these accomplishments: To begin with, in what has become a regular section of our monthly report, once again, I am pleased to announce the completion of a further 3 Yizkor Book projects and they are: - Children Train - An additional book written by the indefatigable, William Leibner, which was carefully edited by Erica S. Goldman-Brodie and Toby Bird z”l. We are extremely indebted to receive this further addition to our project. - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) - This book has been the "baby" of Gloria Berkenstat Freund over quite a few years. Together with the many other translation projects she works on, she has managed to completely translate this extensive volume. Our deep appreciation goes out to Gloria for the completion of this project which joins a number of other books previously translated by her on the Czestochowa community that we have online. - Roman, Romania (The Jewish Community of Roman) A book that was kindly translated by a number of volunteer translators and has been meticulously edited and translations supplemented by Yocheved Klausner, allowing us to present the completed volume online. We now have 150 completely online and if you are "concerned" that we soon won't have nothing to do, we do have a further 750 Yizkor book projects that are work in progress, so there are huge challenges still ahead of us. We are always looking out for volunteer assistance and financial support in our endeavor to advance these projects and if you are able to assist in any manner, I would be pleased to hear >from you. In particular, I would like to hear >from you if you are knowledgeable in Hebrew or Yiddish and have a background in editing and, most importantly, are able to volunteer some time to the project, this would be assistance that would definitely help us go forward. And on regular sections, again, we have the honor of announcing the publishing of two new books through the auspices of the Yizkor Books in Print Project, bringing the total number of books published by this group to 70 - a humble hats off to them! - Memorial Book of 13 Shtetls of Galicia - Another book written by William Leibner (yes, the name is now very familiar) that was attentively edited by Ingrid Rockberger and covers 13 communities, not all of which, previously had their own Yizkor book. - There Was A Shtetl In Lithuania: Dusiat Reflected In Reminiscences - A quite considerable volume (960 pages) dedicated to the community of Dusiat (Dusetos) which was laboriously compiled by Sara Weiss-Slep and further painstakingly edited and produced by Hedva Scop and Olga Zabludoff. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in May. We have added in one new book: - Monor, Hungary (Bound by Fate: In Memory of the Jewish Community of Monor) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Monor/Monor.html We have added in 7 new entries: - Bolimow, Poland (Lowicz; a Town in Mazovia, Memorial Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lowicz/low367.html - Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Poland (Memorial Book of the Communities Wadowice, Andrychow, Kalwarja, Myslenice, Sucha) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wadowice/wad374.html - Lisiewice, Poland (Lowicz; a Town in Mazovia, Memorial Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lowicz/low365.html - Prienai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_368.html - Sobota, Poland (Lowicz; a Town in Mazovia, Memorial Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lowicz/low366.html - Sokolow Malopolski, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume III) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol3_00276.html - Telsiai, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage - Volume I) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania4/lit4_531.html And we have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Children Train https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Children_Train/Children_Train.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland (Book of the Jewish Community of Dabrowa Gornicza and its Destruction) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dabrowa/dabrowa.html - Dieveniskis, Lithuania (Devenishki book; memorial book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dieveniskes/dieveniskes.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jonava/Jonava.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Miedzyrzec Podlaski, Poland (Mezritsh Book, in Memory of the Martyrs of our City) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miedzyrzec_Podlaski/Miedzyrzec_Podlaski.html [or https://tinyurl.com/Sefer-Mezritsh --Mod.] - Naliboki, Belarus (Our town Nalibok, its existence and destruction) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Naliboki/Naliboki.html - Nesvizh, Belarus (The Nesvizh Yizkor Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nesvizh/nesvizh.html - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Nowy_Dwor/Nowy_Dworp.html [Polish] - Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, Poland (Ostrowiec; a monument on the ruins of an annihilated Jewish community) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ostrowiec/ostrowiec.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) https://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Rivne, Ukraine (Rowno; a memorial to the Jewish community of Rowno, Wolyn) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/rovno/rovno.html - Roman, Romania (The Jewish Community of Roman) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Roman/Roman.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Tarnow, Poland (The life and decline of a Jewish city) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tarnow/tarnow.html - Telsiai, Lithuania (Telsiai Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Telsiai/telsiai.html - The Jacob Rassen Story https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JacobRassen/JacobRassen.html - Tovste, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tluste) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tovste/tovste.html - We want to live https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/WantToLive/WantToLive.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.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 [or https://tinyurl.com/YB-Translation --Mod.] where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.
