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

Salt Lake City update
#lithuania
Litvaks@...
Here is an update on the conference in Salt Lake City, sent to the Litvak SIG by Sallyann Sack. Lets make a terrific LitvakSIG showing.
Davida Noyek Handler President, LitvakSIG Dear Colleagues, A number of you have written in the past few days with the same questions about next summer's conference in Salt Lake City. Rather than answer individually, I'll post the replies here. I spent two days last week in Salt Lake and my experience reminded me of the opening sentence of Steinbeck's Travels With Charley. It goes something like "I knew that I was out of the East when the waitress in the truckstop diner in Erie. Pennsylvania, said 'good morning' to me." (!) The friendliness and obvious desire to be helpful both at the hotel and at the Family History Library was truly striking. Everyone made me feel that they are delighted that we are coming. The conference hotel, the DoubleTree (which has just been acquired by Hilton and may have a new name by July), is a little more than two blocks straight down South West Temple >from the Family History Library. )I'm told that it is perfectly safe for women to walk alone there at any time and it looks it.) The hotel is very nice and soon to get even nicer. It has a swimming pool with sun deck and (free) exercise room and sauna. You pay for massage. Especially interesting to those who keep kosher: all of the rooms are scheduled to have refrigerators by next summer; if they don't, one will be brought in free of charge. Plenty of places to eat are nearby. The meeting rooms are almost all on the mezzanine in close proximity to one another. A few more that we will use some of the time are on the lobby level just down an easy flight of stairs. For those who don't want the exercise, there will be free hotel shuttle buses to the library--and don't make the same mistake I did. Don't take a cab >from the airport; the hotel sends the buses there too-free. Those who have never been to the library are in for a treat. Gary Mokotoff describes it in the current (in the mail) issue of AVOTAYNU and we'll post the article on the conference website as well. The computer at the library has the most current of all the five versions of the catalog, and by summer will have full keyword searching. As you may know, the library staff does not like to publicize filming that is in process; they prefer to wait until the films have arrived in Salt Lake City and are listed in the catalog. Expect to see some major new Jewish acquisitions >from the former Soviet Union, including individual 1897 census listings and Jewish vital records. We will provide details as soon as they are in the catalog and we have been given the 'green light' to report them. In the past few years, the library has made a concerted effort to hire staff with skills in Polish and Russian. I was told also that people with the ability to translate Hungarian will be brought in our week as well. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Two family members have referred to an ancestor as either "Chanedvarika"
or "Chana D'volka". This woman would have been born around 1890 in the Volyn region. I have checked the JG archives, but found no reference to either name. Would this name be a diminutive or a nickname for Chana?
