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
World War II ("Old Timers") draft cards for NYC microfilmed by Family
#general
Renee Steinig <rsteinig@...>
Checking the Discussion Group Archives, I see that there's been very little
conversation here about the World War II draft registration cards. Commonly known as the "Old Timers' Draft," the Fourth Draft Registration covered men born between April 28, 1877 and Feb. 16, 1897 -- men who were between 45 and 65 in April 1942, when the registration was held. Citizens and aliens alike were required to register, including men who had served in prior wars. Each registrant was asked his full name, residence, mailing address and telephone number, birth date, birth place, age, name of employer and place of employment, name and address of a person who would always know his address, and physical description. In many cases, a town of birth is included. Note that the government had no intention of drafting these middle-aged men for active military service. The registration was held to document their occupational skills for possible use in the war effort. Over 900,000 cards for the five boroughs of New York, as well as cards for New Jersey and Puerto Rico, are housed at the National Archives-Northeast Region, 201 Varick Street, Manhattan (www.archives.gov/northeast/nyc/new_york.html). They were originally organized by draft board, making access difficult, but were alphabetized about three years ago by volunteers >from Long Island's Italian Genealogical Group and other local organizations. The NYC cards are alphabetical within each borough; the NJ cards are organized by county. More recent news about the cards held at Varick Street is that they have been microfilmed by the Family History Library in Utah and are now available through Family History Centers. For film numbers of the NYC cards, search for the keywords ** Selective Service New York ** in the library catalog, www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp . At this time only the microfilms for Manhattan (118 rolls), Brooklyn (119 rolls) and Queens (63 rolls) appear to be listed in the library catalog, but according to "informed sources," the Bronx (30 rolls), and Staten Island (9 rolls) have also been filmed. In the past, the National Archives on Varick Street responded to mail requests for searches of Fourth Registration draft cards (up to three names at one time for $10). I've tried to find out >from NARA whether this service is still available but haven't received an answer to my email. I also don't know whether NARA staffers will still bring out the boxed cards for researchers' use or if we're now expected to use the microfilm. Maybe someone who has been at NARA NY recently can shed light. For other localties, "Old Timers'" registration cards may be at one of the 12 other National Archives branches around the country (www.archives.gov/facilities/index.html) and some have been filmed by the Family History Library. Substitute other place names for New York in your keyword search of the FHL catalog for additional results, including records for many New Jersey counties. According to Leslie Corn's excellent article, "World War II Fourth Registration Draft Cards: A Newly-Released 20th-Century Resource for 19th-Century Research," originally published in the Winter 2002 newsletter of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, registration cards for many cities and towns, including the rest of New York State, are still with the Selective Service in Washington (www.sss.gov/records.htm). To see that article and others on the subject, search Google.com for the words ** World War II draft cards **. Renee Renee Stern Steinig Dix Hills (Long Island), New York RSteinig@suffolk.lib.ny.us

Re: Proof of Inheritance

Hi Steve -
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I think you should look for their probate files, and possibly that of your wife's father. You can find information on how to order them at this website https://www.myfloridacounty.com/ and click on the link for "Order Official Records" If their county is included there, you might be able to order the documents on line. The Social Security administration might be able to help you if they have any documents showing there were no children, but I don't think they keep the records longer than 5 years after a person dies. Maybe they would accept something like an affidavit >from their Rabbi if the belonged to the same synagogue for a number of years? Their lawyer? Lisa

Dear fellow researchers:
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in translating the following document posted on ViewMate (VM6534). The direct link to the document is: http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=6534 In accordance with our list guidelines, kindly reply to me directly at marc@patentstation.com rather than to the list. Here is what I know which might be helpful: I believe it is an 1853 Ciechanow death record for, according to the JRI-Poland index, Abram BUCH. In the index, the father is indicated as "Nuchim." Unfortunately, the quality is not great, but I think it may be legible if you can read the script. If I am right, I believe this is another ggg-grandfather of mine. I would like to confirm if it mentions a wife "Dwojra," or if it mentions any of his children. If so, I will be very interested to learn anything else >from the document, like the name of Abram's mother or any other information. I thank anyone who attempts to assist me. Marc D.

Polish translation request

Marc D. Machtinger <marc@...>
Dear fellow researchers:
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in translating the following document posted on ViewMate (VM6533). The direct link to the document is: http://data.jewishgen.org/viewmate/ALL/viewmateview.asp?key=6533 In accordance with our list guidelines, kindly reply to me directly at marc@patentstation.com rather than to the list. Here is what I know which might be helpful: I believe it is a death record of an "Jciek" or "Ick" or "Iciek" PULTUSKIER. I believe this individual was my ggg-grandfather. I would like to (a) confirm that it is who I think it is, and (b) obtain any further information >from it. If it is the right person, it might confirm that his children were Szulim PULTUSKIER and Riwka PULTUSKIER (and perhaps list other siblings of whom I am not aware), that his wife was "Laia," and that his father was Moshe (like indicating his name as Moskowicz). What I am hoping is to learn something more, like what was his wife Laia's maiden name or her father's name, what was Jciek's mother's name, where and when was he born, etc. (I am hoping to eventually determine which ancestor may have been born in Pultusk). I thank anyone who attempts to assist me. Marc D. Machtinger, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, U.S.A. Email: marc@patentstation.com
