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

JewishGen is proud to announce its 2017 pre-Conference update to the
JOWBR (JewishGen's Online Worldwide Burial Registry) database. The JOWBR database can be accessed at www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/ If you're a new JOWBR user, we recommend that you visit our screencast page at www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/Screencasts/ and take a look at the first two explanatory screencasts. This update, adds approximately 80,000 new records and 14,000 new photos. The database is adding and/or updating 265 cemeteries. This update brings JOWBR's holdings to 3.13 million records and 535,000 photos from approximately 7,100 cemeteries / cemetery sections representing 125 countries! Once again, donors for this update include a mix of individuals, Jewish genealogical societies, historical societies and museums. We appreciate all our donor's submissions and the transliteration work done by a faithful group of JewishGen volunteers. Significant additions to the database include collections >from Belarus (courtesy of our new partnership with Chesed Shel Emet), Moldova (Bessarabia SIG), additional French and German cemetery sets, and United States new and updated sets (Veterans Administration records, Home of Eternity Cemetery (Oakland, CA) United Hebrew Bretheren Cemetery (Richfield, MN), various MA cemeteries (JGSGB). for a complete listing of all cemeteries in JOWBR, please see www.jewishgen.org/databases/Cemetery/tree/CemList.htm I want to particularly thank Eric Feinstein who has been helping me to find and gain permission to add many non-US records >from Germany, France and under-represented countries. Eric's group of volunteers includes Sandra Bennett, Lineke Bos, Malka Chosnek, George Goldschmied, Ann Meddin Hellman, Maurice Kessler, Harriet Mayer, Hans Nord, Deborah Ross, Marylin Shalks, and Suzanne Tarica. In addition, a big thank you to our volunteer transliterators, led by Gilberto Jugend, without whom we would not be able to add the information >from some very difficult to read photos. We appreciate all the work our donors have done and encourage you to make additional submissions. Whether you work on a cemetery / cemetery section individually or consider a group project for your local Society, temple or other group, it's your submissions that help grow the JOWBR database and make it possible for researchers and family members to find answers they otherwise might not. Please also consider other organizations you may be affiliated with that may already have done cemetery indexing that would consider having their records included in the JOWBR database.

1927 Cadastral Maps of Tarnow in the Gesher Galicia Map Room
#galicia
Jay Osborn <jay.osborn@...>
A coordinated effort by Gesher Galicia volunteers and contractors has
helped bring you two versions of a 1927 cadastral map of Tarnow, posted today on the Gesher Galicia Map Room: https://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/tarnow-tarnau-tarna-1927-1/ https://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/tarnow-tarnau-tarna-1927-2/ Cadastral maps for the important Galician city of Tarnow (Tarnau, Tarna, Torne) have eluded our archive searches since the beginning of the Map Room; this has been near the top of our 'wanted' list for years, and last year we expanded our search outside the southeast Polish state archives to other map holdings, with no luck. Then in early January, Maciej Orzechowski (GG research associate in SE Poland) conducted another phone search and found maps at the Municipal Office in Tarnow, in their geodesic documentation center. In April, GG board chair Tony Kahane visited that office with our Warsaw representative Piotr Gumola, and together they arranged for clear digital scans of the two maps by the cartography department, along with map descriptive info. Although worn and incomplete, the maps are clearly numbered and labeled, and represent a valuable record of the city during the interwar period. The maps are based on an 1848 Austrian survey, but updated in 1927 to reflect changes and adding street names. Key pre-WWII city features of the entire downtown are shown, including two synagogues and the Jewish hospital. Anyone with an interest in historic Tarnow will enjoy browsing these maps and comparing them to the modern city. We are grateful to find these maps cared for (and still in use) by the Municipal Office: http://www.tarnow.pl/Miasto/Urzad-Miasta-Tarnowa The GG Map Room home page: https://maps.geshergalicia.org/ Jay Osborn Gesher Galicia Digital Map Manager Lviv, Ukraine maps@...

If anyone has a surname >from Bonn which they are interested in, I can send them a link to the relevant image on this part of the film. I've also got a jpeg of the place index of the film, No.007992460, which actually covers the whole of Kreis Bonn. The individual negatives were separated for scanning, and at least one image - the one mentioning my great-great grandfather, Asher/Anselm Ungar - is missing, though both his parents and his older siblings are there.

I am sending this email to the group, because it may help other researchers to discover their towns, ancestors. Here is some clues of how to access records of Rezina and other towns. Go to JewishGen.org, Login to your account, go to DATABASES / Complete List of Databases / Romania/Moldova / The JewishGen Romania Database. You see a place you can search the database. Instead of Surname on the left upper dropdown choose Town, and put Rezina at the right upper cell. That will search for ALL records with town Rezina! Also at the Region: choose Bessarabia, and press Search the JewishGen Romania Database. You should see 81 record - people who are also Researching Rezina - that is very important part! Also 13 databases with town of Rezina. Among them 491 records >from Duma Voters list, 190 records >from Business Directory of 1924, 30 Birth records, 25 Death records, 871 - Revision List records, etc. etc. Eli, there are many records of ROITMANs in that search: Marriage records, Revision Lists, etc. Also, most likely you will not find any records in Rezina, they are in Kishinev Archive, and we have many of them. I hope that helps. Please let us know if you find your ancestors that way. All the best, Yefim Kogan Bessarabia SIG Leader and Coordinator
