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

Dear JewishGen Community,
I'm pleased to announce another staffing shift as we continue to develop JewishGen's internal structure to make the best use of our resources. As of last week, Warren Blatt has assumed the new position of Senior Genealogist for JewishGen. In this newly created senior level position, Warren will ensure that the JewishGen website remains reflective of genealogical standards and that the archival transcriptions are as accurate as possible. He will accomplish this by providing strategic direction and support to the Senior Research Team, while also serving as the primary liaison with technical staff for database projects. As Senior Genealogist, Warren will also play a larger role in representing JewishGen at various speaking engagements, and responding to media requests for comments on Jewish genealogical issues. Warren's technical background and genealogical expertise make him particularly suited for this position. A software engineer before joining the JewishGen staff in 2003, he has worked in various roles, most recently in the position of Managing Director. Previously, as JewishGen's Editor-in-Chief, he authored the JewishGen FAQ ("Frequently Asked Questions About Jewish Genealogy"), and dozens of JewishGen InfoFiles. He is the author of Resources for Jewish Genealogy in the Boston Area (Boston: JGSGB, 1996), and co-author of Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy (Avotaynu, 1999), and other works. Widely recognized for his contributions to Jewish genealogy, in 2004 he was awarded the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) Lifetime Achievement Award in Jerusalem. Please join me in congratulating Warren on his new position. Avraham Groll Director JewishGen.org

He will accomplish this by providing strategic direction and support to the Senior Research Team, while also serving as the primary liaison with technical staff for database projects. As Senior Genealogist, Warren will also play a larger role in representing JewishGen at various speaking engagements, and responding to media requests for comments on Jewish genealogical issues. Warren's technical background and genealogical expertise make him particularly suited for this position. A software engineer before joining the JewishGen staff in 2003, he has worked in various roles, most recently in the position of Managing Director. Previously, as JewishGen's Editor-in-Chief, he authored the JewishGen FAQ ("Frequently Asked Questions About Jewish Genealogy"), and dozens of JewishGen InfoFiles. He is the author of Resources for Jewish Genealogy in the Boston Area (Boston: JGSGB, 1996), and co-author of Getting Started in Jewish Genealogy (Avotaynu, 1999), and other works. Widely recognized for his contributions to Jewish genealogy, in 2004 he was awarded the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) Lifetime Achievement Award in Jerusalem. Please join me in congratulating Warren on his new position. Avraham Groll Director JewishGen.org
