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

Hamburg Amerika Line
#general
D. Franco
Please help
I'm trying to find a passenger list for the ship or ships that departed from Hamburg to New York on 10 June 1881. I have this date of the departure for one of my relatives (Ephraim Silverman) probably "Americanized name" and I'm trying to find the name on German passenger list before he got to the American port. Many years later he applied for a passport and gave that date for his initial immigration to America but gave the name of a ship that wasn't built until later (President Grant built in 1903). Just a shot in the dark but maybe I'll get lucky Dennis Berner-Franco Saint Louis, MO. USA Researching BERNER,CHERRY, Silverman, BLUMBERG

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I do hope those who attended the recent IAJGS conference left it with renewed energy and motivation to continue your genealogical research. Of course, if your research leads you to the realm of Yizkor Books, I am here to help and direct you. Meanwhile, the Yizkor Book Project continues to hold a wealth of genealogical and historical information and to improve access to this precious data, we recently initiated something called the Yizkor Book Master Name Index (YBMNI) Project. The aim of this project is to collect all the names appearing in the Yizkor Book translations (apart >from necrologies), to organize them into a database through which researchers can seek out names and be directed to the online translated pages themselves. We have been very fortunate in that Osnat Hazan has agreed to be the YBMNI Project Manager and together with a small group of volunteers, has begun the enormous task of collecting and organizing this data. The YBMNI is located at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Yizkor/Names/ If you have a good understanding of Excel, are methodical, have time available and would like to assist in this groundbreaking project, please contact Osnat via the link appearing on the main YBMNI page.

These Translation Fund Projects are geared to raise funds for the professional translation of the Yizkor Books for the sacred communities that they so vividly describe.

Shalom,
I do hope those who attended the recent IAJGS conference left it with renewed energy and motivation to continue your genealogical research. Of course, if your research leads you to the realm of Yizkor Books, I am here to help and direct you. Meanwhile, the Yizkor Book Project continues to hold a wealth of genealogical and historical information and to improve access to this precious data, we recently initiated something called the Yizkor Book Master Name Index (YBMNI) Project. The aim of this project is to collect all the names appearing in the Yizkor Book translations (apart >from necrologies), to organize them into a database through which researchers can seek out names and be directed to the online translated pages themselves. We have been very fortunate in that Osnat Hazan has agreed to be the YBMNI Project Manager and together with a small group of volunteers, has begun the enormous task of collecting and organizing this data. The YBMNI is located at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Yizkor/Names/ If you have a good understanding of Excel, are methodical, have time available and would like to assist in this groundbreaking project, please contact Osnat via the link appearing on the main YBMNI page.

Thank you to my colleagues who offered sympathy and suggestions re: my
question about pre-war belongings that could be a hidden treasure somewhere in Lodz. I am following up on a suggestion to contact Jaroslaw Nowak, the advisor on Jewish affairs to the Lodz Mayor. I'll let you know what I discover. I have another question: I have a Tomaszow Mazowiecki Ghetto list >from January, 1940-May, 1943, which lists my grandparents and their date of death as 1942. But I know for a fact that they died in Auschwitz in August, 1944. (My mother was deported with them.) My mother never indicated that her parents were any place other than the Lodz Ghetto with her >from 1940-1944. This is not a case of identity confusion on this Tomaszow list either--my grandparents names' and dates of birth are accurately listed on the Ghetto document Any one have a good theory about why my grandparents would be on this list? Were people taken >from the Lodz Ghetto to the Tomaszow Ghetto? Thanks for your help.

KINSLER/KINCLER - KITTY
#france
Ann Linder
The KINSLER search as it pertains to KITTY KINSLER is concluded
successfully. As we are encouraged to share research methods, here goes: What I knew: Kitty and her son & husband were deported >from France to Auschwitz. I kinda knew/thought that Kitty was a Kinsler/Kincler but I did not know her married name. I searched for hours each & every female record available that had a maiden name at the website of Memorial de la Shoah & could not find Kitty--because the lists are incomplete and I also did not know that she went by the name of Maya! I posted on French SIG and Eve - that amazing & wonderful & extremely persistent researcher--actually found her--merci beaucoup--confirming that Kitty was a Kinsler. Maya (aka Kitty) & her 2 young boys were deported in 1943. And >from the deportation records, I had Kitty's married name, Dawidowicz. Yad Vashem testimonials were another source but her maiden name did not match on the testimonial. Using JewishGen Family Finder, JGFF, I then wrote to 15 genners who had listed the family name of Dawidowicz. Via one great Dawidowicz-connected Brit, Martin, I was able to definitively determine that Maya (aka Kitty) Davidowicz nee Kinsler is the Kitty I was looking for. I'm still not sure how she fits into the Kinsler family however, and may never know. Martin kindly sent me 2 photos of Kitty. You have no idea how thrilled those photos have made Kitty's 86 year old cousin in New Jersey USA. She is very happy indeed as the last time she saw Kitty's face was in 1938 at a family wedding in UK. My KINSLER search for living descendants continues onward. -- Kindest Regards, Ann Florida USA

Marlene Bishow <mlbishow@...>
The Jewish Genealogy Society of Greater Washington(JGSGW) extends its
sincere appreciation and admiration to its sister society, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles (JGSLA) for a conference well done. Sandy Malek, Lois Rubin and Pamela Weisberger are congratulated for the mammoth effort in putting on the 30th IAJGS Conference on Jewish Genealogy. I also wish to acknowledge with gratitude the guidance of IAJGS's Past President Hal Bookbinder in the effort. The JGSGW co-chairs for the 31st IAJGS Conference in 2011 have worked closely with the LA conference committee since the beginning of our mutual efforts and we know >from personal experience how much dedication and how much planning went into the execution of the LA conference. Our conferences will be quite different due to the nature of the resources in the city where the conference will be held, but despite these differences, we always knew that we had JGSLA watching our back and it was great to have folks to talk to who were going through the same decision making processes. On a personal note, I had a great time in LA and extend a big thank you to all of the Genners who came to our table with their suggestions and ideas for DC2011. I have come to know so many of you >from conferences that I feel more like I have come back >from a family reunion. And to the more than thirty JGSGW members who went to the conference in LA, I thank you too! You are fantastic. See you in Washington, DC next August when the family gets together again......

Yizkor Book Project, July 2010
#lithuania
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I do hope those who attended the recent IAJGS conference left it with renewed energy and motivation to continue your genealogical research. Of course, if your research leads you to the realm of Yizkor Books, I am here to help and direct you. Meanwhile, the Yizkor Book Project continues to hold a wealth of genealogical and historical information and to improve access to this precious data, we recently initiated something called the Yizkor Book Master Name Index (YBMNI) Project. The aim of this project is to collect all the names appearing in the Yizkor Book translations (apart >from necrologies), to organize them into a database through which researchers can seek out names and be directed to the online translated pages themselves. We have been very fortunate in that Osnat Hazan has agreed to be the YBMNI Project Manager and together with a small group of volunteers, has begun the enormous task of collecting and organizing this data. The YBMNI is located at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Yizkor/Names/ If you have a good understanding of Excel, are methodical, have time available and would like to assist in this groundbreaking project, please contact Osnat via the link appearing on the main YBMNI page.
