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

Yizkor Book Project, May 2017

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As is my custom, at the beginning of each month I endeavor to let you know some of the goings-on and highlights relating to the Yizkor Book Project over the previous month. For a start, once again, I am pleased to inform you that two additional translation projects were completed during this past month and the projects I am referring to are: - Czestochowa, Poland (Resistance and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) which Gloria Berkenstat Freund has single-handedly translated >from beginning to end - quite a remarkable accomplishment. It should be noted here that this is the second book which she has completely translated and kindly presented to the Yizkor Book Project. The complete translation of yet another Yizkor book about this community is on the horizon and Gloria does deserve our utmost appreciation for these translations and all the work she does for the YB Project. - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) has been deftly coordinated over many years by Susan Goldsmith and it is purely through her dedication to this project, that the full translation of this book has become a reality. We thank Susan sincerely for seeing this considerable project through to its successful completion. from time to time, we add in transliterations of the necrologies appearingin the various the Yizkor books, as these important lists do provide us with unique information on the people >from the particular communities who were killed in the Holocaust. These necrologies were compiled by the survivors of these communities and whilst these lists don't always include all those killed, they are considerable in length and include important facts and at the same time, do remind us the unfathomable, enormity of the Holocaust. The necrologies added last month, for instance, were for the communities of Kamen Kashirskiy and Kuty in the Ukraine and include several thousand names. Over the years, we have transliterated a great deal of the necrologies and our intention is to continue transliterating these lists till all are available online. In parallel, Max Heffler and his team have been suiting the lists that have been prepared so that they can be uploaded to the Yizkor Book necrology database, providing ready access to the names and relevant data >from the books existing in the Yizkor Book Project. Finally, I would like to note that we recently received the first translation into Polish of an article >from the Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki Yizkor book and more will be added >from time to time. The YB Project is about making the material >from the Yizkor Books as widely exposed as possible and translating the text into Polish allows ready access to readers of this language to material concerning the thriving communities that existed in Poland before the Holocaust, material which is quite often unavailable anywhere else. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in May. We have added in 10 new entries: - Bernartice nad Odrou, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh031.html - Blatna, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh040.html - Borshchovichi, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Jewish communities of Dziedzilow, Winniki, Barszczowice, Pidelisek, Pidbaritz, Kukizov, Old Jarczow, Pekalowice, Kamenopole & Nowy Jarczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dziedzilow/Dzi081.html - Galanta, Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/slo128.html - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Nowy_Dwor/Nowy_Dworp.html [Polish] - Novyy Yarychiv, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Jewish communities of Dziedzilow, Winniki, Barszczowice, Pidelisek, Pidbaritz, Kukizov, Old Jarczow, Pekalowice, Kamenopole & Nowy Jarczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dziedzilow/Dzi091.html - Odrzywol, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol1_00041.html - Ozorkow, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol1_00042.html - Uniejow, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol1_00046.html - Vynnyky, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Jewish communities of Dziedzilow, Winniki, Barszczowice, Pidelisek, Pidbaritz, Kukizov, Old Jarczow, Pekalowice, Kamenopole & Nowy Jarczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dziedzilow/Dzi071.html And we have continued to update 19 of our existing projects: - Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyy, Ukraine (Akkerman and the towns of its district; memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/Akkerman.html - Brody, Ukraine (An Eternal Light: Brody in Memoriam) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/brody/brody.html - Chmielnik, Poland (Memorial Book of Chmielnik) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Chmielnik/Chmielnik.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Czestochowa, Poland (Resistance and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa4/Czestochowa4.html - Didyliv, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Jewish communities of Dziedzilow, Winniki, Barszczowice, Pidelisek, Pidbaritz, Kukizov, Old Jarczow, Pekalowice, Kamenopole & Nowy Jarczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dziedzilow/Dziedzilow.html - Dieveniskis, Lithuania (Devenishki book; memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dieveniskes/dieveniskes.html - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jonava/Jonava.html - Kamen Kashirskiy, Ukraine (Kamen Kashirskiy Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kamen_Kashirskiy/Kamen_Kashirskiy.html - Krasnik, Poland (Book of Krasnik) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/krasnik/krasnik.html - Kuty, Ukraine (Kitever memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kuty/Kuty.html - Lviv, Ukraine (Lwow Volume: Part I) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lviv/lviv.html - Miechow, Poland (Miechov Memorial Book, Charsznica and Ksiaz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miechow/Miechow.html - Ozarow, Poland (Memories of Ozarow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ozarow/Ozarow.html - Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/pinkas_slovakia.html - Sokolow Podlaski, Poland (Memorial book Sokolow-Podlask) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sokolowa_podlaski/Sokolowa_podlaski.html - Tarnogrod, Poland (Book of Tarnogrod; in memory of the destroyed Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tarnogrod/tarnogrod.html - Turiysk, Ukraine (Memorial book of Trisk) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Turiysk/Turiysk.html - Tykocin, Poland (Memorial book of Tiktin) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Tykocin/Tykocin.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.

Question about occupation "teacher"
#belarus
Jonathan D. Sher, OD, FAAO <jdsherod@...>
I've been receiving information >from my researcher in Vitebsk about the
Swerdlov's from the Polotsk region listed in the 1863 homeowners census. Lots oftailors, merchants, carpenters, etc., but also some listed as "teacher". The family lore is that there are Rabbis on that side of the family and I am wondering if teacher would be translated to mean Rabbi. I could upload the page in Russian if that would help. Any opinions >from the experts on this? Thanks, Jonathan D. Sher researching Schereshefsky, Predmetska, Treskov, Swerdlov MODERATOR NOTE: Please reply privately

We thank Susan sincerely for seeing this considerable project through to its successful completion. from time to time, we add in transliterations of the necrologies appearingin the various the Yizkor books, as these important lists do provide us with unique information on the people >from the particular communities who were killed in the Holocaust. These necrologies were compiled by the survivors of these communities and whilst these lists don't always include all those killed, they are considerable in length and include important facts and at the same time, do remind us the unfathomable, enormity of the Holocaust. The necrologies added last month, for instance, were for the communities of Kamen Kashirskiy and Kuty in the Ukraine and include several thousand names. Over the years, we have transliterated a great deal of the necrologies and our intention is to continue transliterating these lists till all are available online. In parallel, Max Heffler and his team have been suiting the lists that have been prepared so that they can be uploaded to the Yizkor Book necrology database, providing ready access to the names and relevant data >from the books existing in the Yizkor Book Project. Finally, I would like to note that we recently received the first translation into Polish of an article >from the Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki Yizkor book and more will be added >from time to time. The YB Project is about making the material >from the Yizkor Books as widely exposed as possible and translating the text into Polish allows ready access to readers of this language to material concerning the thriving communities that existed in Poland before the Holocaust, material which is quite often unavailable anywhere else. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in May.

Reclaim The Records wins the first-ever digital copy of the New York State Death Index, 1880-1956!
#general
Asparagirl
Reclaim The Records is a not-for-profit activist group of
genealogists, historians, researchers, and journalists. We work to identify important genealogical record sets that are not online anywhere and not broadly available to the public. We then use state Freedom of Information laws to force government agencies and archives to hand over copies of these records to the public, which we then digitize and put online for free use. Other organizations and companies are then free to make transcriptions and searchable databases of our images and data, if they wish. After seventeen months of work, we have now forced the New York State Department of Health to concede that the New York State death index data is, and should be, available to the public under open records laws. This data was previously only available on scratchy old microfiche copies at a small number of libraries in upstate New York, plus the Manhattan branch of NARA. Not a single website, whether for-profit or non-profit, had copies, not even FamilySearch microfilms. We secured the first ever public and digital copies of this important state death index, which the Department of Health has scanned for us directly >from the original vault copies. They are high-resolution greyscale images, with the entire set comprising about 3/4 of a terabyte of data on a portable hard drive. (That's a lot of dead people.) We're uploading all these files, year by year, to the Internet Archive (archive.org). Other websites, as well as individual researchers, are welcome to use, download, and even host the files on their own websites, and create transcription projects if they wish. The files are entirely in the public domain, free to use without any restrictions. This death index covers 1880-1956, which is seventy-seven years! Here are some things to keep in mind: - 1880 and 1881 have very limited data, as the state law requiring reporting deaths to the state didn't have great compliance at first. - 1943 is, unfortunately, extremely hard to read, and we don't know if any better copy exists. If there is, we'll go after it with a new FOIL request and scan it. - New York City deaths are, for the most part, *NOT* included in this statewide death index. That's because New York City and New York State are completely different vital records jurisdictions. However, some deaths that were in neighborhoods that are part of modern-day New York City -- such as Flushing (Queens) or Canarsie (Brooklyn) -- do show up in the pre-1897/1898 statewide death index! That's because they weren't incorporated as part of the city yet at the time they were recorded. - Three major cities are not included in this statewide death index until 1914 or 1915: Yonkers, Buffalo, and Albany. Reclaim The Records will be making three new and separate FOIL requests to those city clerks for the first-ever public copies of their 1880-1914 death indices, in order to complete the missing data. - Finally, there is some disagreement over whether people who died at state-run mental institutions or developmental disability institutions were correctly included in the statewide death index. If you know of someone who died in one of those facilities, could you please check to see if they were in fact recorded in this index, and report back? The full details, and links to the individual years' images, are in our latest free newsletter, which you can read online here: http://mailchi.mp/reclaimtherecords/bfvk8vew84?e=8bd0102c13 Enjoy! - Brooke Schreier Ganz Mill Valley, California Founder and President, Reclaim The Records https://www.ReclaimTheRecords.org/

Yizkor Book Project, May 2017
#poland
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As is my custom, at the beginning of each month I endeavor to let you know some of the goings-on and highlights relating to the Yizkor Book Project over the previous month. For a start, once again, I am pleased to inform you that two additional translation projects were completed during this past month and the projects I am referring to are: - Czestochowa, Poland (Resistance and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) which Gloria Berkenstat Freund has single-handedly translated >from beginning to end - quite a remarkable accomplishment. It should be noted here that this is the second book which she has completely translated and kindly presented to the Yizkor Book Project. The complete translation of yet another Yizkor book about this community is on the horizon and Gloria does deserve our utmost appreciation for these translations and all the work she does for the YB Project. - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) has been deftly coordinated over many years by Susan Goldsmith and it is purely through her dedication to this project, that the full translation of this book has become a reality. We thank Susan sincerely for seeing this considerable project through to its successful completion. from time to time, we add in transliterations of the necrologies appearingin the various the Yizkor books, as these important lists do provide us with unique information on the people >from the particular communities who were killed in the Holocaust. These necrologies were compiled by the survivors of these communities and whilst these lists don't always include all those killed, they are considerable in length and include important facts and at the same time, do remind us the unfathomable, enormity of the Holocaust. The necrologies added last month, for instance, were for the communities of Kamen Kashirskiy and Kuty in the Ukraine and include several thousand names. Over the years, we have transliterated a great deal of the necrologies and our intention is to continue transliterating these lists till all are available online. In parallel, Max Heffler and his team have been suiting the lists that have been prepared so that they can be uploaded to the Yizkor Book necrology database, providing ready access to the names and relevant data >from the books existing in the Yizkor Book Project. Finally, I would like to note that we recently received the first translation into Polish of an article >from the Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki Yizkor book and more will be added >from time to time. The YB Project is about making the material >from the Yizkor Books as widely exposed as possible and translating the text into Polish allows ready access to readers of this language to material concerning the thriving communities that existed in Poland before the Holocaust, material which is quite often unavailable anywhere else. And now for details of all the updates and additions that were carried out in the Yizkor Book Project in May.
