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
Different families that live together are probably related

When different families share the same registration number on a revision
list, it means they live in the same dwelling. >from my experience that usually means that the different families were related. Sometimes in the comments column of the revision list the relationship is noted. For example, if I recall correctly, on the 1850 revision list for Kurenecs, in the Kukelstein home there lived an entire family named Alperovitch. In the notes column, it says that the father of the A. family, Benjamin, was a nephew of Ms. Kukelstein. That means that Benjamin was a son of a brother of Ms. Kukelstein. It furthermore means that Ms. Kukelstein was a nee Alperovitch. Regarding my own research, in the early 19th century, my Misli family lived in the Vaad residence. I guess that Ms. Misli was related to the Vaads. Kind regards, Andi Alpert Ziegelman Searching: Mishler/Misli in Ukmerge Sukkot/Shochet in Kavarskas, Moletai, and...

Raciaz Books of Residents now indexed by JRI-Poland
#poland
Herbert Gursky
There is exciting news for Raciaz researchers!
Indexing of the Books of Residents for Raciaz has been completed by Jewish Records Indexing - Poland! What are Books of Residents? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where these volumes have survived, Akta Miasta or Ksiegi Mieszkancow or Ksiegie Ludnosci (Books of Residents) are a unique source of information on the citizens of towns and villages of Poland. In simple terms, these registers contain a house-by-house census of the people in the town and the authorities' way of monitoring the movement of the population. Different series and types of Books of Residence and Census registers have been in use since the middle of the 19th century but, unlike the vital records of Poland, most have not survived the passage of time. The Raciaz Books of Residents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These are held in the Plock branch of the Polish State Archives. They cover the period >from the late 20th century until 1931. The earliest year of birth mentioned is 1800 and there are also entries for the 20th century. The Raciaz Books of Residents Excel file includes page number, house number, entry number), surname, first name(s), father's given name, mother's given name and maiden name, date and place of birth, occupation, place of domicile, previous place of domicile, and remarks (deaths, changes of residence, and military service, for example). Why are Books of Residents for Raciaz important? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These entries contain a full picture of family groups. In addition, approximately 25% of the entries are for individuals NOT recorded in the birth registers. Many entries include information about where people moved to so it can open up the door to previously unknown family branches that lived in another town. This is particularly important for young women who moved to their new husband's town. How do I know if my family is in these books? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JRI-Poland has created a surname list extracted >from all the entries. Below is a list of all the surnames appearing 25 or more times. If you do not see your family surname(s) in this list, please contact me and I will gladly send you a file listing all the surnames and their frequency. 25 most frequent SURNAMES in Raciaz Books of Residents PROCHOWNIK 54 WIGDOROWICZ 47 SZPIGEL 42 BROMIERZ 36 FOGEL 32 BERNBAUM 31 GOLDSZTEJN 30 SZWARCKOP 30 KLIOPMAN 29 KOSSOBUDZKA 29 GRINFELD 28 KON 27 BINENFELD 26 GOLBREJCH 24 LEWINOWICZ 24 BIALOSTOCKA 23 BRENMAN 22 KITAJ 22 KOSSOBUDZKI 22 MORA 22 HILLER 21 TAUB 20 BIALOSTOCKI 19 KLOPMAN 19 LIASK 18 SKRZECZANOWSKI 18 Other towns mentioned ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The most frequently mentioned places of birth (other than Raciaz) are: Drobin 55 Plock 37 Sierpc 30 Szrensk 28 Plonsk 20 Radzanowo 18 Mlawa 16 Wyszogrod 16 Ciechanow 15 Strzegowo 11 Warszawa 11 Bielum 10 Przasnysz 10 Kikon 9 Radzanow 9 Janow 8 Raciaz 8 Makow 7 Nasielsk 7 Rypin 6 Bierzun 5 Bodzanow 5 Brak 5 Brzesc Kujawski 5 Gostynin 5 Kuczbork 5 For more information about this database, please contact me at <gurskyh@erols.com>.

Re: Commemoration days in Hungary

Ted Grossman <tgrossman@...>
Thank you for the information. Because I will be in Hungary in early
June, and had planned a trip anyway to Kisvarda, which is in the area where my grandparents and great-grandparents grew up, I intend to attend the June 4 commemoration of Holocaust victims at the synagogue there. I also intend to visit the cemeteries there, and would be happy to take some pictures of specific things that people may want. Finally, I would appreciate any advice people may have about things to see there.

I would appreciate any opinions on the following. My husband's grandfather,
Jacques (Jacob) ALEXANDER was >from France according to his census information. His son said he thought the family came >from "somewhere in Alsace, in or near Strasbourg." Through the 1900 and 1910 census reports we know that Jacob arrived in the US around 1880 and lived in Manhattan, NYC, New York. The family was thought to have been Jewish. I have found a Jacob ALEXANDER on the Castle Garden website who possibly fits the age profile (about 8 yrs. old). According to the passenger list, this child came >from Prussia with his parents and seven siblings. Their port of departure was Antwerp, Belgium and their arrival date at Castle Garden was 14 May 1880. The father of this child was Joseph Alexander, naturalized in 1888 and his papers say he was >from Germany. Recently I became aware of another "Strasburg" (now Brodnica in Poland) which was part of West Prussia around 1873. >from what little information I've given above (and below) does anyone think it is possible that this "Strasburg" is actually where I should be doing research? Or, does the fact that Jacob referred to himself as being >from France preclude this? We know the date and place of Jacob's death (in New Jersey) but filing for a death certificate brought no results. Apparently the death was not reported. Since he apparently arrived in the US as a child, there would be no naturalization records. Jacob married Minnie Eisner in Manhattan in either 1996 or 1997. I have sent for a copy of their marriage record in hopes it will provide further clues. Minnie was >from Vienna, Austria and had been in the US for about seven years according to the 1900 census. We think that she was Jewish and that she may have had a brother who was a rabbi. After their marriage they lived on 48th Street in Manhattan and later moved to Jersey City, New Jersey. My father-in-law has Jacob's date of birth recorded in his bible as 13 December and Minnie's as 25 November 1872. On the 1900 census report, these dates are given as Dec. 1873 and June 1872 respectively so I can't vouch for their accuracy. Any opinons and suggstions as to how I should proceed will be most welcome and greatly appreciated. Ellen Alexander Jacksonville, Florida

Jewish newspapers in France
#general
Jonathan Newman
I am currently trying to trace a member of my family, called Edward NEWMAN,
whom I believe died in France in the early 1970s. Does anyone know whether there is a French equivalent of the Jewish Chronicle, which might have carried an obituary of my relative? Alternatively, is there any possibility that there would have been an obituary in one of the non-Jewish newspapers? Many thanks for your help.
