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

Re: ZOGER/ZAGER and MARSHAK #belarus Carol Skydell <skydell@...> #7706 Allison, Your first step is to SEARCH in the JewishGen Family Finder...not only will you find people researching the same names of interest to you, if you don't enter your own information into this database, you are effectively limiting your chances of finding connections. Go to the JewishGen homepage and click on the Family Finder and it will take you right there. Good luck with your search Carol Skydell JewishGen Support Team

Otynya, Ukraine #general Myron Chijner <mchijner@...> #90539 Many jewishgenners came through for me when I was searching for Novoseletsi in the former Bessarabia. Now I wish to know if Otynya, Ukr. would have been within the borders of Bessarabia between 1870 and 1910. A relative described the shtetl as "Odin, Bessarabia". Using D-M Soundex, Otynya is as close as I could come. Did Bessarabia's border extend this far? Is there another community which would better fit this description? I take this opportunity to thank the JewishGen leadership for all of their efforts in improving the JewishGen sites in countless ways over the past few months. If you have not visited the ShtelSeeker in a while, check out the improved mapquest. I am very new to genealogy and hope those like me who have been lurking will step forward to help fund these new projects. Thanks, Myron Chijner Weirton, WV mchijner@...

Ginzburg Family #belarus bjgaines@... #7710 I am glad to participate in the Belarus discussion group. I did not know that I had family >from Belarus until 1994 when I visited my father's birthplace, the town of Genichesk in Ukraine. I was told that I was the first visitor >from the United States since World War I. At the town archives, there was a volume of Jewish births >from 1908 to 1920. I was not able to find my father's birth (1907), but I was able to find the birth of two of his cousins, Aaron Borisovich and Aleksandr Borisovich GINZBURG (born May 13, 1908 and January 14, 1910). Their = parents were Boris Lazarovich GINZBURG and Haya Sara Aronovna GOLSHTEIN. Boris was listed as a "meschanin" (petty bourgeoisie) >from Mstislavl in the Mogilev gubernia. Thus I believe that the whole family probably came >from Mogilev gubernia in Belarus. The generations of the family I know are as follows: (1) Lazar GINZBURG had sons Joseph, Boris (born abt 1883), Naum, Abram, Aaron. Aaron was clearly dead by the time Boris named a son after him in 1908, and I believe that Naum and Abram may have died young. Lazar died in Genichesk around 1928. (2a) Boris Lazarovich GINZBURG married Haya Sara Aronovna GOLSHTEIN (GOLDSTEIN) and had sons Aaron and Aleksandr at least. Boris and his wife died in Genichesk when the Nazis murdered all of the Jews of that town in 1941. (2b) Josef Lazarovich GINZBURG married Clara YAMPOLSKA and had three children, Paulina, Serafina, and Gregori. Joseph drowned in Genichesk around 1915 and Clara died in the typhus epidemic around 1919. (3) Paulina and Serafina married and left the area. Gregori Josefovich GINZBURG came to the U. S. in 1923 and is my father. Is there any work being done on Mstislavl? I am not aware of any films of Mstislavl vital records. Do they turn up in other films of Mogilev gubernia? My GINZBURG family left Belarus around 1900, but some of their family may have remained. Any information is greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Barry Gaines bjgaines@...

Pebble on graves #general Dorys Bernbaum <dorys@...> #90536 At an unveiling ceremony a few weeks ago, the Rabbi gave a very interesting comment on the custom of leaving pebbles on the tombstones. He said that the death of a loved one "ligt vee a shtain of'n hartz" (like a rock on one's heart). Placing pebbles on the tombstone as a symbol of having visited the grave-site is, in essence, removing pieces of that "shtain" or rock. Make of it what you will. Dorys Bernbaum

JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen Pebble on graves #general Dorys Bernbaum <dorys@...> #410849 At an unveiling ceremony a few weeks ago, the Rabbi gave a very interesting comment on the custom of leaving pebbles on the tombstones. He said that the death of a loved one "ligt vee a shtain of'n hartz" (like a rock on one's heart). Placing pebbles on the tombstone as a symbol of having visited the grave-site is, in essence, removing pieces of that "shtain" or rock. Make of it what you will. Dorys Bernbaum
