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

Need Historical Editor/Checker for Novel set around 1900, in Panemune near Kaunas, Lithuania and the Lower East Side of NYC
#general
maryhelen@...
I have written a novel about my grandmother, Helen Breakstone, who left
Panemune, Lithuania, in 1900, for New York City's Lower East Side. Through a process of chain migration, she gradually brought over her entire family, within a few years of hard work. My book has several early chapters that take place in Panemune. And there is one chapter on her trip to Bremerhaven to get the boat to New York. All my research is through the Internet, and I am concerned, given that Internet information is not always reliable, that factual details, and even the more general details about life in that place and time may not be correct. I am looking for someone who is knowledgeable about the state of things at that time, in that place. What was the town like? My grandmother and her family lived at the Breakstone Dairy. What was that like, what were their living quarters like, how close were all the cousins? What was so bad that they left? How important was the conscription that hung over the heads of her 4 brothers? No doubt, they were motivated by a combination of anti-Semitism, poverty, no room for financial improvement of any sort, and the hope for a new life in a new world. Were there other factors specific to Panemune, to Lithuania, to Russia? If anyone has expertise in this area, and is willing to serve as kind of a historical editor for my book, I am willing to pay for the service. My book has been accepted for publication and needs to be at the publisher by August. So I have a little time. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I am a search angel and found some of what I am looking for.
The city or province listed above was once Austrian now Polish. Is it possible to get birth and business records. I am working with an Austrian genealogist but new information became available when I found my grandmother on a passenger list. Thanks, Maddy Steinhart
