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

Update on Morris MILLER Liquors & family
#general
s_wiener@...
Dear Genners,
Leave it to JewishGen to help jump-start a [perceived] brick wall situation. (How many metaphors can I mix in one sentence?) I have received the best assistance in the shortest amount of time possible. While I have thanked those who have helped me individually, they deserve group recognition for their wonderful assistance. In days I received: e-mails with remembrances of Morris Miller's store, names of contacts who worked in the liquor industry with the Millers, newspapers clippings of obituaries and society notices about the family, census information AND the name and phone number of Morris Miller's surviving daughter-in-law. I cannot say enough about the generosity of the members of this group. So, since I am going to be in the D.C. area this week, I thought I'd run the names of another part of the family past the group to see if anyone remembers these people. I doubt if they are as well-known as Morris Miller but here it goes. My husband's great-grandmother brought her siblings over >from "Austria" sometime after 1906. For reasons that I do not know, while Gussie/Gittel GLASSER nee BLAU b. 1889 resided in NYC, her sisters all moved to D.C. Her brother Yitzak BLAU, remained in NYC. So, does anyone remember: Sara GERSTENFELD nee BLAU, married to Leon GERSTENFELD Sara GERSTENFELD died 1977 Washington, DC Leon Gerstenfeld died 1981 Washington, DC children: Frances and Ann Ann GERSTENFELD married Oscar SISLEN Oscar SISLEN died 2001 Silver Spring, MD Hilda SPENCER nee BLAU, married to ????

JG tips: "Please reply privately" notes
#general
Barbara Niederhoff <iamthewind@...>
Greetings again,
One of the givens of the Discussion Group is that you will see the phrase, "Please reply privately." When a moderator adds this note, it is often for one of these kinds of message: 1. ViewMate requests; 2. Questions about professional help or other commercial resources; 3. Questions that touch on genealogy, but for which the answers are technically off-topic. Occasionally, you'll see it used for another reason, but our goal is not to overuse it. On the other hand, sometimes the message-writer asks for private replies. There are several possible reasons for this: 1. Following ViewMate instructions; 2. Questions about personal information, such as someone's e-mail address or whether anyone knows such-and-such relative; 3. Questions about professional help or other commercial resources; 4. Ease of receiving responses -- that is, the writer may not be subscribed to the digest (or isn't reading it regularly); 5. Belief that the answer is not of interest to others, or that it may be off topic; And there may be other reasons, known only to the message-writer. For numbers 4 & 5, the moderators can't know why a particular writer has asked for private replies. We can't read minds. If the request is made, we'll try to make sure it's honored because that may make a difference in whether the writer even receives the responses. This doesn't necessarily please other readers, who may also be interested in the answers. And so, may I please ask the following of everyone: 1. Writers: Request private replies *only* when a clear personal or procedural reason exists. For example, if you're asking for a professional guide in Poland, or for Cousin Nellie's phone number in Chicago, you may request private replies. If you don't, it's no problem, because the moderator can do it for you. Also, if you know getting back to read the newsgroup is going to be a problem & you need answers to go to your personal e-mail address, that's fine -- ask for private replies & we will try to make sure they get to you. It might be especially nice if you would offer to summarize the replies you receive (in your own words, please!) and sending the summary to the group. Don't try to second-guess what's "on topic." 2. Readers: When replying, please honor all requests for private replies, whether they come >from the writer or >from the moderator. If the request is >from the writer and you think the general public would benefit from your answer, send a message both to the group & to the writer's e-mail address. If the message cannot be posted for some reason that you didn't foresee, the moderator will let you know. Thank you for your patience, and may all your questions find answers, Barbara Niederhoff for the JewishGen moderation team
