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

Sam Schulman
Welcome Mr. Schulman-
Thank you for your INTRO message. GerSIG Moderator =====> Hello GerSig, I just joined the group. I have been doing genealogy research for 4 years. I consider myself to be intermediate-minus in doing German Jewish Genealogy research. I live in rural Virginia, USA. My native language is English and I also know German and French (and can read Gothic type). I consider myself advanced in using a computer. My experience in using the Internet is extensive. I have identified the names and birth and death dates of 4 of my grandparents, 8 of my great grandparents and 4 of my great great grandparents. My primary research goals now are to find out 18th century antecedents and relatives of my great-great grandfather, born in 1780 in Gaugrehweiler, married first to an Alsenz maiden, then to a Frei-Laubersheim maiden. My JGFF Researcher ID number is 570865. The family names and ancestral towns that I have entered in the JGFF (JewishGen Family Finder) are LEBENSBERGER >from Gaugrehweiler Germany - Mayer L born 1780 to Ohio about 1830 - other LEBENSBERGERs in Piqua+Sandusky.

relatives in England
#general
Lin <lin2@...>
All of my family originally came >from Germany and left due to the Nazis.
I have been unsuccessful in finding relatives who live in England. The family left Germany and lived in South Africa for some time and moved to London. We have been able to find out that two daughters were born to the one still living son, while he has been in England. They were born in thee 1970s. We have not been able to find out any newer information using Ancestry.com. Any suggestions. I have the name of the man- who would be my generation. He was born in South Africa in the late 1940s. He met and married his wife in England. His name is Clive Norman SIMON. His wife was Angela Hodgson. His children are Katharine Jane Simon (she's is probably married with another last name now) and Tamara Carol Simon. Suggestions on further research? Thank you. Lin Herz

Alsatian Jews in New York City

Robert Teitelbaum <bobtbaum@...>
For many years I have been trying to trace my great aunt's history
after her arrival in New York City. She came >from Valff, Bas Rhin, Alsace with my great grandfather in 1869. He was 12; she was just shy of 17. He re-appears in the Brooklyn records after 1880; she appears in no further records. [She may have married but there are no municipal records.] I am wondering if anyone on this list knows or can refer me to sources that will identify where Alsatian Jews were likely to go after arrival in New York City at that time (1869)? Were there communities or Synagogues where they might have collected. Thank you, Bob Teitelbaum

Georgia Naturalizations
#general
Ann Rabinowitz
As I have mentioned in a prior posting about Alabama Naturalizations on
Ancestry.com, these southern naturalizations are a tremendous help in locating information on immigrant Jews. In the Georgia Naturalizations, I happened upon a very interesting record which is a wonderful example of how Jewish families can be dispersed to a number of far-flung places. On September 27, 1865, Leizeris Krygeris, was born in Vabalninkas, Lithuania, and on March 19, 1935, he arrived in America on the SS Majestic. He then settled in Georgia and his five children are listed as follows: AElex Kruger, living in Fitzgerald, Georgia, Abe Kruger, living in Fitzgerald, Georgia, Morris Kruger, living in Johannesburg, South Africa, David S. Kruger, living in Live Oak, Florida, Israel H. Kruger, living in Ra'anana, Israel. One can look further, and find according to the "South African Jewry 1976-1977" Year Book that Morris Kruger is listed there. He is the child of Lazar and Pesia Kruger, served in the Lithuanian Army in 1921, and came to South Africa in 1922. He married Ida Bloch in 1922 and had two sons. He was the Chairman of the Vabolnik Countrymen. One can also find more about his brothers and their families too. The William Bremen Jewish Heritage & Holocaust Museum in Atlanta, Georgia,has much about the Kruger family including a wonderful family photograph of Leizeris and his sons. In another example, one sees how it was not only the husbands who came to America alone, but some wives did this as well. One finds a record for Rachel Lena Klein (no maiden name), who had been married to Hyman David Klein and had a son Solomon Isaac Klein, all born in Taurage, Lithuania. Evidently, the husband remained in Lithuania whilst the wife and child came to America and settled in Georgia in 1920. One wonders if the husband later survived the Holocaust. An interesting record shows that immigrants came to America to landsleit who had chosen to settle in well-known enclaves. In regard to Isidor Yankel Kremer, who was born in Pushalot, Lithuania, it appeared >from the record that he married in Jacksonville, Florida, to a Fannie (maiden name not mentioned), who was >from Romania, before he settled in Albany, Georgia. Many immigrants from the small Lithuanian shtetl of Pushalot found a home in Jacksonville and,so too, it was with Mr. Kremer who made that connection along with a number of his Kremer relatives. There are many other examples >from not only Lithuania, but other countries as well which are worth investigating. All have their special little twists and turns in the history of that particular family. In addition, be sure and look at all of the southern states such as Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and others, whose naturalizations are now online as one never knows where one will find a family member.

lookup at Kings County (Brooklyn) Surrogate's Court

Does anyone out there have plans to be at Kings County Surrogate's
Court in Brooklyn (2 Johnson St.)? If so, I'd appreciate a look in the index there for several names. If records are on file for any of the people, I'll go to Brooklyn to see them. I'd just like to avoid traveling 75 miles round-trip only to discover that none of these folks had wills or other records. If you can help, please write me for details. Thanks.

wendygris@gmail.com writes: What I need to do is figure out probable EDs for the 1905, 1915, and 1925 censuses. There is a one step tool that will get you into the neighborhood for the AD and ED that you can access at _www.stephenmorse.org_ (http://www.stephenmorse.org) . However my experience with it is that it may only get you to the general area and you may have to keep searching beyond the ED it supplies. At the library in Manhattan there exists the street index on microfilmed index cards that has each individual address and the 1905, 1915 AD/ED for the individual address. There are even page numbers where to find the address within the census. It is fool proof and even shows when an address did not exist. Ask if the NY State Library or the LDS has a copy of this microfilm. It may only exist at the Manhattan research room in the Public Library building at 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. At the same building there are also maps -- some in the genealogy room and some in the Map Room -- that show AD/ED for the state census records. If you think you are going to have to do the map route suggestion is to take along a current street map that shows the cross streets for the address you are looking for. It helps if you know what part of the City to be looking at in the maps. Also in the case of Newark, New Jersey for example the Census district maps for the State Census are on line and you can search them out and do the research >from home. Also at the NY Public Library you will find the complete 1890 Police Census. They have the locator book to find addresses and they have the complete microfilm of the 1890 Police Census. Finally don't forget that Ancestry and FamilySearch.org are now loading the NY State Census. So you might want to start your search on line because it could save a lot of look up time and microfilm work. Allan Jordan

A great resource is Steve Morse's page at stevemorse.org. On this web
site, he has a Unified Census ED finder: http://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html. You can use that to put in addresses and find the EDs. While it doesn't have the EDs for the 5-years, I would imagine if you found the EDs for 1910, 1920, and 1930 they would also work for 5s. If you have a paid subscription to Ancestry.com, you can search the New York censuses for those years >from your home. Good luck!
