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

Yad Vashem online database

We did this in order to integrate a Russian interface for the site, a very important move as we have also started a project to collect Pages of Testimony among Russian speaking Jews. The project is currently being carried out in the Ukraine and in Israel. Like most new sites, the new site has bugs. We have sorted out most of the bugs, but the site is still not as stable as the site we had before Yom Hashoah. At this point, most of the time it works fine, but the problems described below happens every few days. Our computer people are working hard to solve the problem as quickly as possible. PLEASE write us at central.database@... if you encounter technical problems with our site. We usually aren't able to answer you quickly enough to help you, but you help us (and yourself in the long run) by making sure we know all the problems that exist. Zvi Bernhardt Yad Vashem

Another original surname question BENJAMIN
#unitedkingdom
Susan <susanplouffe@...>
As stated on my ancestors naturalization papers in the UK, my
LEVY/LEVEY/LEVI/LEVER ancestors former name was BENJAMIN. eg. my grandfather, Louis Lever (formerly known as Louis Benjamin). They emigrated >from Zagare, Kaunas, Lithuania, (then Kovno, Russia) to UK in 1880's. I have still not been able to determine if Benjamin is an anglicized version of the original name or ? My great grandfather's name was David. I have searched under every possible variation of Benjamin, as well as Wolf variations and Levi variations but have not found the family in Lithuania. I have also been told that the Hebrew name on one of the tombstones was LIWER/LIVER. I have not found the family under this name either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Susan Plouffe Vancouver, Canada Searching: LIVER/BENJAMIN: Zagare, Kaunas, Lithuania LEVI/LEVY/LEVEY/LEVER: Wales Burton-Upon-Trent, Southport, Bournemouth, England Glasgow, Scotland

Nathan Sturman
Hi,
Two items of mine are now available on the viewmate, numbers VM8043 and VM 8044. They are an envelope >from my grandfather Nathan STURMAN's landsman's association, a Vinnitsa group, I am told, in Philadelphia addressed to his residence of the time (1914) and the other is a STURMAN family portrait taken around 1923 after the family moved to their long term residence at 512 Dickenson St. Nathan (Nussen) Paultiel Sturman is my grandfather. His father's name in turn was Yitzhak Halevi-Sturman, of Teplyk/Teplic, Podolia, Vinnitsa, with relations in or near Uman, Kiev, perhaps main body of the family, which had a beef cattle ranch according to family lore. Nathan was an associate of Bernard S Pincus in Philadelphia and had a meat distribution business on Dock St called Nathan Sturman and Son, then Nathan Sturman's Sons after his passing in 1943. Maybe somebody will find the items of interest or use in indentification etc. http://data.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=8043 http://data.jewishgen.org/ViewMate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=8044 All the best, Nathan STURMAN researching STURMAN, KAISERMAN, BLACK, SCHWARTZ, CASS/CASH, MOSS/MAAS, MARINOV; New York, Philadelphia, Ontario, Glasgow, Teplyk/Podolia, Uman/Kiev, Odessa, Kharkov.
