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

Good Pesach everyone!
I am searching for my great grandfather's naturalization records. The folks at the New Jersey Archives haven't had any luck but they very kindly sent me a paper copy of a petition for naturalization of someone in the same city with the same name. They were pretty sure that wasn't my GGrandfather, and they were right. If this is someone in your family tree, I will gladly send you the copy. I don't need it and it would be a shame for it to go to waste. Bernard Friedman 47 Bleaker St, Newark (Blecker?)

The Fair will be held on Sunday, August 4th >from 1:30-5:00 pm, so attendees can find out what is available locally and make plans to visit the places of interest during the week. Local groups participating include the New England branch of the American Jewish Historical Society (AJHS), the New England Historic Genealogical Society, the Boston Public Library's Map Collection, the Vilna Shul, City of Boston Archives, the Jewish War Veterans, Documenting Old Maine Jewry, and the Jewish Genealogical Society of Connecticut partnering with the Godfrey Library.

At the opening plenary session on Sunday evening, the keynote speaker will be Aaron Lansky, founder and president of the Yiddish Book Center. Mr. Lansky is responsible for revitalizing the study of Yiddish literature and language and motivating hundreds of young scholars to study and teach Yiddish. He has saved over a million Yiddish books since he started collecting them as a 23-year old graduate student in 1980. His mission to rescue Yiddish literature earned him a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant in 1985. The remaining four and a half days will feature 250 programs on a rich and varied range of topics. The program Committee is putting the final touches on these and will announce them shortly. So plan to arrive in time to enjoy these important first-day events.

How to research in Israel: Alec Schorr, owned Kasba Restaruant, Tel Aviv

Hello Fellow Genners,
Please can you help me with general or specific advice as to how to research a late cousin in Israel. Where do I start to look? Whom in Israel might I ask? My second cousin, Alec Schorr, lived/worked at ** Yona Hanavi St, Tel Aviv, owning or running a restaurant called "Kasba" ( or Kasbah or similar). He is thought to have died in 1977. He may have had a wife called Sabina. I don't know whether he had children, whom may or may not still be alive. That's the sum total of what I know. Suggestions as to how to learn more would be very welcome. Thank you, Joyaa Antares Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Researching ZAUSMER, ZOUSMER, ZESMER, CHOUSMER, CHAUSMER, TSOUZMER etc, MARCUS, DAVIDOFF in Polangen, Kretinga, Darbenai, Libau, Riga, Memel SCHORR, SCHERZER, JURIS and DAWID in Buckaczowce, Ottynia, Nadworna, and Kolomyya; ZUNDER in Buckaczowce and Ivano-Frankivsk; KEMPNER in Berlin, Lodz, Warszawa and London; LEVY, BADER in Berlin, Schwerin, Friedeberg and GERSON, SIDERSKY in Gumbinnen, Koenigsberg, Danzig, Berlin and South Africa

Looking for a South African researcher

I am trying to learn more about my wife's grandmother's half-brother who
immigrated to South Africa in 1929 >from Krakes, Lithuania, and who died in South Africa in 1945. According to the photo of his maceva, the inscription says he was married and had daughters. I would like to learn more about his family in South Africa, the cause of his death at a young age (41), and possibly make contact with a descendant. Can someone recommend a researcher in South Africa who I can contact via email, and who might have access to resources to fill in the missing information. *** Please respond privately to <bob@boblandau.com> -- Moderator
