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
Family Gutzac
#poland
DELAFOSSE
Hello everyone,
I am looking for descendants of a family "Gutzac" who lived in Warsaw until 1932. Apparently the name is not very common. The relatives of this family are Kelman Gutzac born in 1891 married Sara. They had three children: Rajla, Aron and Gitla. These three children were born in Warsaw. If someone has in his genealogical tree the name of this family, I would be glad he contacted me. Cordially. Sylvie Toder France MODERATOR'S NOTE: Please respond privately with family information. Suggestions of research methods or resources may be shared with the list.

Thank you all for your very warm welcome and willingness to pitch in as
volunteers and more. This year's IAJGS conference in Boston was made very special for me by all the words of support, and more importantly, by how quickly so many of you were willing to step up and take on more volunteer jobs which all help our SIG run more efficiently, but more importantly, help us gather and process data more quickly. Thanks to those of you who attended the Ukraine SIG meeting - we raised $1457 dollars in cash and checks that day when I asked (at Cindy Potter Taylor's suggestion) for donations >from the floor. You guys are incredibly special. Look for many new ways of getting the word out through Ukraine SIG communications - via the discussion list, more updates on our website, Facebook page, Twitter and blogging. Our Advisory Board has changed a little and expanded - the new list will be on our website under "About Us" as soon as Ariel Parkansky returns >from vacation and has a chance to update it. Especially thanks to Ron Doctor and the superb job he did at the helm of the Ukraine SIG for the last two years and the incredible job he and his Kremenets Group continue to do.

Fw: Hugo Herrmann's "In jenen Tagen" -- digitalized
#austria-czech
pinardpr@...
Dear SIG,
For German-speakers among us, the German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek) has recently made available an on-line edition of Hugo Herrmann's "In jenen Tagen", which tracks the history of his family living out in Moravska Trebova (Maehrisch Truebau) in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is available online at: https://portal.dnb.de/bookviewer/view/1032404523#page/n0/mode/2up Herrmann (1887-1940, Jerusalem) was a passionate Zionist, who documented the developments in Eretz Israel throughout the 1920's and 30's in several German-language books and guidebooks before making Aliyah in 1934. Once in Jerusalem, he turned to documenting his family's history in Moravia. "In Jenen Tagen" makes a fascinating, at times poignant, at times amusing read for anyone interested in Jewish life in the Czech lands, with its melange of Austrian and Czech; Jewish and Christian; bourgeois, agricultural and working class cultural influences in the period. In essence, the book provides a view of the rich and complex cultural tapestry of life here before the horrible ideologies of the 20th century tore so much of it to shreds. Shalom >from Prague, Rick Pinard

Re: Report from the Austria-Czech SIG at the IAJGS in Boston
#austria-czech
jonora@...
The conference that just ended and the the entire organization of the
Austrian Czech genealogy is certainly indebted (no money) to E. Randol Schoenberg. Not only is the grandson of one the major 20thcentury classical composer, whose music is played all over the civilized world. Both my wife (Born Heller in Brux-Most Czechoslovakia ) and I (born in Ceske Budejovice ) are of the Czech (Austrian roots). As one of my close friend (and a KZ Survivor) said to me onec, all the Czech Jews are related. We trace our roots to the Joseph II census (son of Empress Maria Thereza ). So, some of the people at the conference are related to us " Paul King" (whose family emigrated >from my hometown in the 19th century, Thomas Fuerth, possibly also Randol, who is soon to travel with his son to the town of CKYNE (where a Synagogue of reconstructed about 20 years ago). This town is about 20 km >from my hometown. Both Mrs Matusikova of the Czech National Archives and Mr Muller have been helpful in tracing our roots and the graves of our grandparents and greatparents as well as wedding records and our ancestors. Of the Jewish populaion in my hometown, only 3% (36) survived the Shoa. Whenever I visit LA. I like to say hello to Mr Schoenberg (who is responsible for rescuing some famous Klimt paintings >from Vienna). Unfortunatly, my wife Nora and I John could not attend this conference (we did about ten years ago). John Freund in Toronto.

2013 IAJGS Achievement Award winners
#galicia
Renee Steinig
We are delighted to announce the recipients of the 2013 IAJGS
Achievement Awards. The winners were honored at the banquet held on Thursday evening, Aug. 8, at the 33rd IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in Boston. They were selected >from a large field of outstanding candidates, whose achievements reflect the vitality and diversity of our Jewish genealogy community. Many thanks to the member societies who submitted nominations and congratulations to all the nominees for their accomplishments. The winners: IAJGS Lifetime Achievement Award -- Dr. Neville Y. Lamdan Outstanding Contribution to Jewish Genealogy via the Internet, Print or Electronic Product -- JewishGen KehilaLinks Outstanding Programming or Project that Advances the Objectives of Jewish Genealogy -- Gesher Galicia, for its Cadastral Map & Landowner Records Project and the Gesher Galicia Map Room Outstanding Publication by a Member Organization of IAJGS -- Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto, for its book, Tracing Our Roots, Telling Our Stories Neville Lamdan was honored for his pioneering work to establish the International Institute for Jewish Genealogy and Paul Jacobi Center in Jerusalem (http://www.iijg.org/). His vision and dedication as its director >from 2006 to 2012 shaped the IIJG into a driving force working to gain recognition of Jewish genealogy as an academic discipline. As a result of Dr. Lamdan's skilled leadership, the IIJG has developed syllabi and guidelines for university-level courses in Jewish genealogy, has sponsored scholarly research on Jewish genealogy, and has been a presence at international Jewish Studies conferences. An innovator and bridge-builder, Neville Lamdan has given Jewish genealogists new insights and tools and has underscored to the academic community the crucial role genealogical research has to play in the study of Jewish history and identity. KehilaLinks (http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/) has encouraged and assisted the creation of over 600 web pages commemorating the places where Jews have lived. The pages provide valuable information for each community, including maps, photographs, historical accounts, databases, links to other resources, and more. KehilaLinks pages also serve as a networking base for people interested in these ancestral communities. Introduced in 1996 as ShtetLinks, the project was renamed in 2011 to reflect its inclusion of Jewish communities throughout the world. KehilaLinks continues to grow thanks to the tireless efforts of coordinators Susana Leistner Bloch and Barbara Ellman; a team of volunteer webpage designers; and its many site owners. The Gesher Galicia Cadastral Map and Landowner Records Project < http://www.geshergalicia.org/projects/cadastral-map-and-landowner-records> has provided groundbreaking content for genealogical researchers. Through the funding of Gesher Galicia and individual contributors, 19th century Austrian land maps and landowner records are copied at archives in Eastern Europe. These extraordinary maps, which show such details as market squares, houses, synagogues, cemeteries, roads, and rivers, enable family historians to visualize where and how their ancestors lived, and the landowner records too capture details of everyday lives not found in traditional sources. Maps are shared in Gesher Galicia's unique online Map Room (http://maps.geshergalicia.org/), which also features historical town, provincial, and regional maps, Holocaust and ghetto maps, and specialty maps. Indexed data is made available to researchers in the free online All Galicia Database (http://search.geshergalicia.org/). In many cases these maps and records provide the only available documentary evidence of a family's life in a town. Tracing Our Roots, Telling Our Stories, published by the JGS of Toronto (http://www.jgstoronto.ca/) in celebration of its 25th anniversary, shares family stories, first-person narratives, and accounts of research and discovery written by 44 of the Society's members. This 248-page anthology spans two centuries and diverse locations to explore such themes as immigration, the Holocaust, and life in Eastern Europe and in new homelands. Its moving chapters illustrate the importance of recording personal histories to enrich the details found on genealogical documents. Effective publicity and sales of the book in a number of retail outlets also serve to introduce the larger community to the joys and challenges of genealogical research. Mazel tov to the winners and many thanks to my fellow committee members -- Henry Blumberg, Logan Kleinwaks, Kahlile Mehr, and Mark Nicholls. A special thank you also to IAJGS board member Joel Spector for his assistance. Renee Stern Steinig for the IAJGS 2013 Achievement Awards Committee
