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

GABER-BRECKER
#romania
Marlene Belkin <mbelkin@...>
Hi,
My maternal grandfather, Abram GABER was born on May 7, 1883 in Suceava. My great-grandparents, Philip GABER and Rose BRECKER GABER immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1886. I think they sailed from Hamburg to Liverpool, and then to Philadelphia. Although PhilipGABER and Rose BRECKER GABER are buried in a Jewish cemetery, the writing on their gravestone is entirely in English. I would assume their Yiddish names are Feivel and Raizel. How can I continue to research the GABER and BRECKER families? I have the following documents: 1900 and 1910 census for Philip and Rose GABER and 1930 census for their eldest son, David GABER. I also have WW1 Draft Registration for Abram and David GABER. I have a passenger list >from Hamburg to Liverpool for a Abraham Gaber... but I'm not 100% sure if this is the document I'm looking for. Thank-you, Marlene Rosen Belkin USA MODERATOR NOTE: Please do not any diacritical marks when posting messages. Our Lyris server cannot read them.They create unintelligible symbols.

Inquiry re medal from Austrian army & Samuel Leiser Wien
#general

Inquiry regarding my research for my grand uncle, Samuel Leiser Wien
and his parents, Yitzchak Wien (and Nettie?) & relating to a medal my grand uncle Samuel Leiser Wien had (now in possession of my 2nd cousin, his descendant/grandson) that he got in the Austrian army, said to look like this one pictured at the link below, and described as follows at this link (my cousin who has the medal says it has a picture of Franz Joseph on it): http://www.medal-medaille.com/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=6204&osCsid=q51p6gn3m943tlp5g6hd877bi0 MOD: ( http://tinyurl.com/q8ezkge ) looks like Commemorative Jubilee Medal Armed Forces 1898, bronze medal with image of Emperor Franz Joseph I My inquiry to JewishGen: Regarding research about my grand uncle Samuel Leiser Wien (1871-1959) (seeking his parents & siblings, his trajectory & history before in US), I just tracked down that 2nd cousin grandson descendant who says Samuel was in the Austrian army, fled >from it, and possessed this medal (which my 2nd cousin has and we located what looks like it at link above). Previously, I've traced Samuel Leiser Wien's birth to 20 Jan 1871 in Stanislawow, L'viv, Ukraine - Death 10 Sep 1959 in Brooklyn, NY. He had 2 children in Jassy, Romania, before he arrived in NY: Arrival: 1900 17 Jan Age: 28 New York, New York. Age: 29. Single, destination br. Orchard St; cousin Moritz Dornbaum, 147 Essex St. This Essex St. address will be Samuel's addr 1906/naturalization, & Dornbaum's will then be Brklyn. But he & wife already hv 2 childr, she & childr will arrive summer 1900, His spouse arrived summer 1900 in NYC with the 2 children and then they had several more children. He was a carpenter at first. His father was Yitchak Wien -- I have found almost no data on him. My ggmother, Lena/Lea Berkowitz Wien was his (probably not his first) wife and so my gmother & her younger siblings may be Samuel's half-siblings. It's possible that Samuel's mother's name was Nettie. Most of my known relatives on this side of the family came >from Romania. Where were they before? where were Samuel Leiser Wien and his father Yichack Wien? and mother and siblings with that mother? How can I use this new information about the Austrian army and the medal to further my research into these matters? I didn't know he was in that or any army. I don't know where he lived before Romania. The few descendants of Samuel Leiser Wien are too far removed to know, and never asked, and never were told. They didn't know of any siblings of Samuel Leiser Wien, or of the Wien families that I know about, though they are related, and even are in photos together (a relative's wedding photo 1949, for example, where finally I have succeeded in getting nearly everyone identified).

Registration is now open for this Summer's 34th IAJGS Conference
#ciechanow
#poland
bounce-2721572-772951@...
Greetings!
Registration for the IAJGS Conference is now open. It will be held in Salt Lake City starting on July 27, 2014. Check out the conference website at www.iajgs2014.org to learn more about our plans and to sign up. As the conference will kick off one day shy of the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I, it will focus on the impact of the "War to End all Wars" on our families. Our ancestors served in the armies of all of the participants, lived through horrific fighting across the Jewish heartland of Eastern Europe, fled and immigrated to new lands and started new lives. Many of us have stories to tell and pictures to share. The conference will be encouraging our registrants to upload these stories and pictures which we plan to compile into an important memory book >from which we all can learn. We will also have a major picture display at the conference to bring the experience alive as only visuals can do. Of course, there will be much more, including close up and personal access to the world's largest genealogy library where there are hundreds of thousands of genealogically significant books and hundreds of millions of records that are not on the Internet. The program will be wide-ranging focusing on areas that have not always been stressed in the past, while retaining the best of historic programming and workshops. You can keep up with what we are planning by visiting our web site, posting to our discussion forum, signing up for our blog and following us on Facebook and Twitter. Just click on links at www.iajgs2014.org to sign up and stay current. Come join your friends for a memorable, genealogically valuable and rewarding experience. All the best for a terrific year!

Need help locating donated Torah in Israel
#general
GLebo111@...
Dear Genners,
In 1955 my grandmother Pauline Strakoffsky moved to Tel Aviv when she was in her 80's. She lived at the Rest Home for the Solitary Aged at 40 Avodah St. in Tel Aviv. While she was living there, she donated a Torah to the facility. I don't know if the facility is still there or if it relocated but I'd very much like to locate the Torah that she donated. Can anyone in Tel Aviv offer any assistance? Gail Lebowitz Atlanta, GA Please respond directly to me.

I have come across the notation "P.P. No xxxxxx" that I cannot decipher and
I'm hoping someone can help.0 My great uncle, Awner Spielberg, came to the US in the early 1920s and was naturalized in 1929. He then traveled to Europe in 1935. In the ship manifest, in the column titled "if native of US or possession, give place of birth" he has the notation "P.P. No. 172753". The next column gives the date and place of his naturalization. Other passengers on the same list have similar notations. Clearly this has something to do with naturalization, but it's not the naturalization petition number (I have that number and it's different both in number and format). I asked this question to the National Archives staff and they did not know either (at least the person I spoke to didn't know). I'm very curious if this is referencing some other document that I might be able to get that will provide yet another piece of the family puzzle. Does anyone have any ideas of what this number is?
