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

BUCHALTER/BEAR family
#general
ToadysFroggy <54amp5@...>
My great grandfather Shmuel BUCHALTER had a brother who also came to the United
States but somehow during his entering of the US, the immigration officer must have misunderstood him when he tried to say BUCHALTER and gave him the name of Samuel BEAR. Both settled in the Philadelphia area. My great grandfather married Dora and had my grandfather and my great uncle Joseph. I would like to find information on my great grandfather's family as well as anything more about Samuel Bear and his branch of my family. The only things I know about Samuel Bear: - is he married a Polish woman named Rose and they moved >from the Philadelphia area to Los Angeles. - he was born Sep 25, 1884 - he died Mar 21, 1961 If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanking you in advanced!! Sharon F. Yampell NJ BUCHALTER/ BEAR Moderator Note: If you have not done so already, you may also search the JewishGen Family Finder at http://www.jewishgen.org/jgff/ to find others who researching the same surnames and places. If you create your own entry as well, using the "enter/modify" option, you will make your information available to other researchers who will then be able to find you.

Re: Burial Records, Chevra Kadisha, Johannesburg, South Africa
#general
Ann Rabinowitz <annrab@...>
I was not sure where you were looking for information, but there are three ALMAN
listings in the SA Jewish Rootsbank aka Rootsweb site which provides information on South African Jewish families including cemetery information: http://chrysalis.its.uct.ac.za/CGI/cgi_RootWeb.exe Unfortunately, there are only three cemetery records for your ALMAN family which are listed and no other kinds of records. Apparently, two of the cemetery records were for a husband and wife and the third perhaps a child or other relative. Their name, birth and death dates, age at time of death, and cemetery plot # in the Westpart I cemetery are provided. If you are interested in learning more information such as what is on the tombstone, such as any Hebrew giving the father's name, you will probably have to hire someone to do that. In addition, you can look at the National Archives of South Africa site which has 25 listings for ALMAN: http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm300ds?200703201043210EAD4B44 A third thing you can do is post an inquiry on the SA SIG digest on JewishGen asking about descendants of your ALMAN family. Another thing you can do is look through the SA SIG web site on JewishGen for tips on how to research your South African family: http://www.jewishgen.org/safrica Good luck! Ann Rabinowitz annrab@... Moderator Note: The SIGs (Sprecial Interest Groups) provide a wide variety of information on geographic regions of origin, or specific topics of interest http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen/sigs.htm

1848 Census of the Jews -- puzzles
#hungary
Marian Brown
Dear All,
I need some help or at least some educated guesses. The following is a the exact list of family members >from the 1848 census of Bodolo, Hungary -- now Budulov, Slovakia: Lisauer, Simon Neje: Bernat Borbala Gyermekei: Lisauer, Joszef Jacob Abraham Terezia Nani/Hani Veje: Tirk Bernat I understand that Bernat Borbala is the wife of Simon Lisauer, but how do I interpret her name? Borbala, daughter of Bernat? I understand that the next five names are their children. As to Tirk Bernat, I understand that "Veje" means brother-in-law. Would he be the brother-in-law of Simon Lissauer and perhaps a brother of Bernat Borbala? Or would he be a brother-in-law of the children and perhaps married to Nani/Hani? Also, how do I interpret his hame? Tirk son of Bernat or would Tirk be the surname and Bernat the given name? Thanks for helping! Marian Brown Cincinnati, OH

Re: KINSBRUNNER and uncommon surnames
#romania
Logan J. Kleinwaks
This is a reminder that, if you are trying to determine in what towns an
uncommon surname occurred, it can be very helpful to search the 1924/1925 Romanian business directories hosted by the Library of Congress via www.kalter.org/search. Doing this, I found eight KINSBRUNNERs in Cernauti, most with given names, occupations, and street addresses (details sent to poster). Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@... near Washington, D.C.

Write for Roots-Key Special Issue 2007
#rabbinic
Nancy Holden
Roots-Key the Journal of the Genealogical Society of Los Angeles is
planning a special issue on Recreating Your Shtetl. This will be research based analysis of the various ways genealogists tell the story of one family or a group of families in one place over time. We are soliciting articles on the techniques used in putting together the socio-economic culture, the history and the life and times of your shtetl. Rabbinic records, Jewish Kahal records, and introductory pages of rabbinic manuscripts often give important clues to the peer group and travels which bring to life the biography of our families in their community.

Roots-Key the Journal of the Genealogical Society of Los Angeles is
planning a special issue on Recreating Your Shtetl. This will be research based analysis of the various ways genealogists tell the story of one family or a group of families in one place over time. We are soliciting articles on the techniques used in putting together the socio-economic culture, the history and the life and times of your shtetl. Rabbinic records, Jewish Kahal records, and introductory pages of rabbinic manuscripts often give important clues to the peer group and travels which bring to life the biography of our families in their community.
