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

ViewMate translation request - Yiddish, from Holocaust Survivors
#galicia
Connie Malone
Fellow SIGS,
I've posted a vital record in Yiddish for which I need a translation. It is on ViewMate 34087 at the following address: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM34087 Provided by their granddaughter in Israel, this precious handwritten page is >from my granduncle's "prayer book." Mordechai GRAU and Ester GERAU were Holocaust survivors. I believe he and/or his wife Ester, or their daughter, wrote of their family losses and events during the years 1920 - 1958, including his sister, my grandmother's death in November 1957, Henny (aka Anna). The family lived in Berhomet, Czernowitz, Romania, when they were deported to Mogilev Concentration Camp, Transnistria. After the war, the family settled in Haifa, Israel. Please respond privately or via the form provided in the ViewMate application. A full or partial translation would be appreciated. The handwriting is faded and difficult to read, but I can try to send you a somewhat clearer version my cousin provided me. Connie Malone La Mesa, San Diego, California Researching: ZWIEBACK (Vienna, Austria; Kuty, Stanislawow, Poland/Ukraine; Israel); GRAU (Kuty, Poland/Ukraine; Berhomet, Romania; Israel; USA); SENDER/SANDER (Kuty, Stanislawow, Poland/Ukraine; USA); OREN (Israel); MINSTER (Kuty, Poland /Ukraine); ZVIRBLIS (London, England; Lithuania); STOLASKA (London, England). And all variant spellings.

KehilaLinks Website for Bil'shivtsi, Ukraine
#galicia
Ken Entin
I am pleased to announce that the KehilaLinks website for Bil'shivtsi,
Ukraine is live and ready to be viewed at http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Bilshivtsi/. This town was known as Bolshovtsy when it was part of the Soviet Union and Bolszowce when it was located in Poland before World War II and Galicia prior to World War I. Most of our ancestors living there knew the town as Bolszowce, Bolshevitz, or one of its spelling variants. The website is designed to be both a useful genealogical resource and a meaningful memorial to the town's Kehila. If you have photos, documents or any other information about the town or its Jewish population that could be included in the website, please contact me. I can be reached using the contact form on the home page or directly via e-mail (silverado@...). I look forward to hearing >from you. Ken Entin San Jose, CA

Yizkor Book Project, May 2014
#austria-czech
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I am both excited and pleased to see that during May, a number of Yizkor Book projects came all that closer to completion. Some of these are just a hairsbreadth away >from seeing this lofty goal and I imagine that in the next couple of our monthly reports, we'll have the pleasure of announcing the fact that they are completely translated and online. Still, with that, whilst some of the projects are so close to their end, they still require some additional funds to carry out this work. So if you have a Yizkor Book project for which you have aspirations of seeing its translation in its entirety, we invite you to visit our list of Translation Funds at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 to donate however much you are able to help this dream become a reality.

Austria-Czech SIG #Austria-Czech Yizkor Book Project, May 2014
#austria-czech
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I am both excited and pleased to see that during May, a number of Yizkor Book projects came all that closer to completion. Some of these are just a hairsbreadth away >from seeing this lofty goal and I imagine that in the next couple of our monthly reports, we'll have the pleasure of announcing the fact that they are completely translated and online. Still, with that, whilst some of the projects are so close to their end, they still require some additional funds to carry out this work. So if you have a Yizkor Book project for which you have aspirations of seeing its translation in its entirety, we invite you to visit our list of Translation Funds at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 to donate however much you are able to help this dream become a reality. Of course, quite a few of the books that have been completely translated have come out in hard copies and during this last month, two new books joined their ranks: Brest, Belarus - Brest-Litovsk - Volume II Encyclopedia of the Jewish Diaspora Grajewo, Poland - Grayewo Memorial (Yizkor) Book These are now available for purchase and you can see the full range of books printed through our Yizkor Books in Print Project at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html Apart >from the books that are close to completion, we do have a number of books for which we have the whole translation and these are also being converted to web format and also hope to announce the joyous fact that they are completely online in coming months. Now to facts and figures for May. During this last month we have added in 3 new projects: - Goniadz, Poland (In memory of the life and destruction of the Jewish community of Goniadz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz1/goniadz1.html - Satu Mare, Romania (Jews of the Szatmar District) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Satu_Mare1/Satu_Mare1.html - Ustilug, Ukraine (The growth and destruction of the community of Uscilug) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ustilug/Ustilug.html Added in 6 new entries: - Daugavpils, Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/lat262.html - Jindrichuv Hradec, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh447.html - Riga, Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/lat243.html - Trebon, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh698.html - Vlasim, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh699.html - Vodnany, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh699a.html We have continued to update 24 of our existing projects: - Briceni, Moldova (Brichany: its Jewry in the first half of our century) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Brichany/Brichany.html - Capresti, Moldova (Kapresht, our village; memorial book for the Jewish community of Kapresht, Bessarabia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Capresti/Capresti.html - Chelm, Poland (Commemoration book Chelm) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/chelm/chelm.html - Dzyatlava, Belarus (A memorial to the Jewish community of Zetel) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dzyatlava/Dzyatlava.html - Golub-Dobrzyn, Poland (In Memory of the Communities Dobrzyn-Gollob) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/golub_dobrzyn/golub_dobrzyn.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kozienice, Poland (The book of Kozienice; The birth and the destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kozienice/kozienice.html - Indura, Belarus (Amdur, my hometown) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/indura/indura.html - Lanivtsi, Ukraine (Lanowce: Memorial Book of the Martyrs of Lanowce Who Perished During the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Lanovtsy/Lanovtsy.html - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Michow, Poland (Memorial book to the martyrs of Michow who perished in the Holocaust) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Michow/Michow.html - Monastyrys'ka, Ukraine (Monasterzyska: a Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Monastyriska/Monastyriska.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozernah.html [Hebrew] - Rokiskis, Lithuania (Yizkor book of Rakishok and environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/rokiskis/rokiskis.html - Siedlce, Poland (The Jews in Siedlce 1850-1945) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Siedlce3/Siedlce3.html - Sierpc, Poland (The Community of Sierpc; Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sierpc/Sierpc.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stryj2/stryj2.html - Szczebrzeszyn, Poland (The Book of Memory to the Jewish Community of Shebreshin) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Szczebrzeszyn/Szczebrzeszyn.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.html - Zolochiv, Ukraine (The Destruction of Zloczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zolochiv/Zolochiv.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.
