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

"Kolbisher Rebbe" ?
#general
Babette C Bloch <bvcb@...>
My husband's grandfather attended a small synagogue approximately in
1937, in what was then known as the East Bronx, specifically on 151st Street between Union and Tinton Avenues. The rabbi there was referred to as the "Kolbisher Rebbe". He had a shul and ran it with his brother and a son. If anyone has any information on who this might be or whether the Rebbe was >from Poland, etc., it would be of great interest to us.

Re: Digitalization of photo archive
#general
Tom Venetianer <tom.vene@...>
Hello Avrohom,
It all depends what you plan to do with the scanned images.For the majority of printing applications 300 dpi is more then sufficient, even if you use coated paper for printing. The rule of the thumb is that the dpi number is about twice the line density. Coated papers use 133 and 150 lpi, so 266 to 300 dpi will be great. Only very sophisticated printings require higher resolutions then that. For ink jet printing on common print paper 150 dpi will be good enough (because such paper uses about 75-80 lpi). On glossy papers and ink jet printing 150 dpi works well too, but eventually, to bring out details, it's better to increase the dpi to 266-300. As for color depth (number of simultaneous colors), 256 (8 bits depth) is good enough for the majority of applications. Thousands of colors (16 bits depth) is excellent. 32 bits depth (millions of colors) is not necessary and a waste of precious filing space. The same applies for gray scale: 64 or 128 grades of gray result in excellent gray scale images. That's only 6 or 7 bits depth. You are right about storing your images as TIFF (*.tif) files. That's the best format for image fidelity. JEPG (*.jpg) is not good because it looses details. JEPG is a destructive storage process. Worst yet is GIF, which forces color reduction to a discrete palette of colors, resulting in pixelization. Any other concerns? Yes, keep your images as small as possible (in bytes). Unless you plan to publish a MoMA Art Book, the rules above will result in very good prints, now and in the future. In all the "rules" above, I assumed that you will be storing/scanning photographs. The story is different for line art, vector graphics and digital illustrations. BTW, for those who wish to publish images on the Web, please keep them at 72 dpi. That's the normal resolution of any monitor. good luck Tom At 00:00 -0500 26.09.00, Avrohom Krauss wrote wrote: "I am in the process of scanning old family heirloom photos and wouldTom Venetianer <mailto:tom.vene@...> Sao Paulo - Brazil

Trying the back door research:DAVIS,GORDON,SWEET,MASON,ZOFNASS,WEINSTEIN.
#general
Carol Edan <caroled@...>
Shalom,
Well if you can't find the front door maybe you can get in through the back. I am up a wall with both my PRICE and ARONSON lines. I am trying with no success to find my grandparents siblings. Most were too old to be on SSDI so I decided to try The Boston Jewish Adovate Obituary database. Most of the family lived in Boston area. The given names for my ARONSON lines are Phillip,Mathew,Sidney,Helen. Here are some of the surnames connected with possible extended family. DAVIS,GORDON,SWEET,MASON,ZOFNASS,WEINSTEIN. I did some seraches on JGFF for some of the less common names but with names like GORDON(316 hits) contacting each one mission impossible. Did send to the 5 MASONS on the list and will do the same for other smaller lists. So if any of you that are researching these surnames have any connection with ARONSON preferably with given names Phillip,Mathew,Sidney,Helen we may have some connection and I may find my grandparents siblings. Wishing you all a SHANA TOVA Carol Monosson Edan Researching MONOSSON/POLEY- Moscow/ Mogilev/Gomel ARONSON/PRICE-Augustow/Kalvarija RABINOVITZ-Novogrodok MUSHNITSKY-Russia MARCU/LEIBOVITZ-Iasi,Roumania

A search for cousins
#hungary
robert b hanscom <rodihan@...>
My grandmother, Charlotte TAUBER was b. in Drietoma, Trencin megye,
Hungary (now Slovakia) in 1889 and emigrated with her parents [Simon and Adella (TESCHNER) TAUBER] to New York City in 1897. In the process of tracing her ancestry over the last two years, I've discovered that she had at least 44 first cousins. A third of these cousins also came to the U.S. and I've made contact with their descendants. But I'm now interested in tracking down the fates of the cousins who remained in Europe. Does anyone have any knowledge of the following people/families? Children of my grandmother's uncle, Leopold TESCHNER (1843-1905): * Adele (TESCHNER) DIAMONT, b. Vag Besztercze, Trencin megye [now Povazska Bystrica, Slovakia], 4 Feb. 1865. She m. Salomon DIAMONT on 26 Aug. 1888 and had one dau., Margit, b. 14 Feb. 1889. No further information. * Emilie TESCHNER, b. Vag Besztercze, 26 April 1870. She is said to have married, but I have no information on the identity of her husband. * Kalman TESCHNER, b. Vag Besztercze, 14 May 1872. * Irma (TESCHNER) BAUMOHL, b. Vag Besztercze, 16 October 1874. She m. Rudolf BAUMOHL on 17 Jan. 1897. I've discovered a list which indicates that two of her sons, Artur and Marcel BAUMOHL, perished in a concentration camp. Would like to learn more about this family... Children of my grandmother's aunt, Rosa (TESCHNER) BRATTMAN (1845-1891): * Regi BRATTMAN, b. Vag Besztercze, 18 October 1867, and her sister, Ida BRATTMAN, b. 26 October 1876. Both are said to have married, but I don't know the identities of their husbands. One of them may have married an ELENCZWEIG. * Julius BRATTMAN, b. Vag Besztercze, 5 Aug. 1872, d. in Zilinia, 11 Oct. 1929. I have made contact with descendants of his who live in Chicago and Israel, but am interested in discovering the fates of his two eldest sons, Arthur BRATTMAN, b. 1898, and Rezso Sandor [Alexander] BRATTMAN, b. 1899. * Wilhelm BRATTMAN, b. Vag Besztercze, 11 Dec. 1880, d. in Budapest, 28 Oct. 1915. I believe he may have been married and perhaps had children. Children of my grandmother's aunt, Johanna (TAUBER) GLASEL (1835-1866): * Rosalia /"Sali" (GLASEL) BERGER, b. Varin, Trencin megye [now Slovakia], 1864. She m. Jacob Herman BERGER, b. c1857, in Trencin, 26 February 1884. No further information. * Caecilie (GLASEL) SINGER, b. Varin, 1866, d. in Budapest between 1945 and 1950. She m. in Trencin, 31 Mar. 1891, David SINGER >from Myava. He d. in a concentration camp; she survived. I'm in contact with descendants of Caecilie's son, Ludwig (1904-1934), but am interested in tracking descendants of her daughter, Jeanette /"Jenny" (SINGER) SPITZER (1896-1975) of Budapest. Jenny had two sons, Robert and Gabriel, both of whom vanished post-World War II. Children of my grandmother's aunt, Katharina (TAUBER) ZERKOWITZ [Czerkowicz] (1854-1926) of Budapest: * Frieda ZERKOWITZ, b. Budapest, 7 March 1885, living in Budapest, 1950; her sister, Aranka ZERKOWITZ, b. Budapest, 9 August 1891; and another sister, Jozefa ZERKOWITZ, b. Budapest, 25 Nov. 1894, d. Budapest, 12 August 1959. A fourth sister, Roza ZERKOWITZ, b. Budapest, 7 Feb. 1888, perished at Auschwitz, 1944. * Dr. Leopold ZERKOWITZ, brother of the four sisters, b. Budapest, 14 December 1889, possibly died at Auschwitz as well. He is said to have had one daughter who was a ballet dancer in Budapest. Children of my grandmother's aunt, Helena /Ilona (TAUBER) DEUTSCH (b. 1860) of Budapest: * Hugo DEUTSCH, b. Budapest, 20 February 1887. No further information. * Ella DEUTSCH. She is said to have moved to Roumania.... may have died in a concentration camp. I am also interested in tracking children and descendants of an another aunt, Amalia TAUBER, b. 2 April 1852, m.

The four books cover the period 1694 - 1915. The persons buried come >from most of Europe - some of the first families were Sephardim - particularly in the first two centuries, later (>from 1880) >from Eastern Europe. The first Jews in Denmark had family ties with Jews in other countries in Europe, and some settled in Denmark for a while and then went back to where they came >from -- or somewhere else. from the mid-17th century and until the mid-19th centurySchlewsig-Holstein belonged to the Danish King (i.e. Denmark). So even though you do not know of Danish ancestors, you might find information pertaining to your families in the burial registry. Elias Levin, has since his return >from Theresienstadt worked on photographing, transliterating, indexing and publishing the tombstones on the Jewish cemeteries in Copenhagen, Denmark. This has till now resulted in five books: 1. "Den gamle j=F8diske begravelsesplads i M=F8llegade 1694-1994=94. (Vol. I & II). Copenhagen, 1994. (Registry of burials on the old cemetery the so-called Northern or Moellegade Cemetery). 2. =93J=F8diske Gravstene 1886-1915 p=E5 Mosaisk Vestre Begravelsesplads=94 (Jewish tombstones 1886-1915 on Mosaisk Vestre Cemetery, Copenhagen, Denmark). Copenhagen, 1986. Registry of all burials from 1886-1900 (Vol. I) and 1900-1915 (Vol. II) on new cemetery (Mosaisk Vestre Cemetery) 3.

Registry of all burials from 1991-1998. It is a work in progress as he is still working on the project that he has taken upon himself. He is preparing a new book on burials 1999 and 2000, and at the same time he is trying to fill out the gap between 1915-1991. There are published listings of the burials but not with photos of the tombstones. He is planning on publishing the listings with photos and other genealogical information >from the vital records.
