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
LEWKOWICZ/GNIESLAW multiple surnames

Jay Gilbert
I am helping a cousin search for records for her father's Geneslaw family.
In a number of Polish records in Piotrkow Gubernia, in Belchatow and Czestochowa, among others, I am finding many instances of the name written as LEWKOWICZ/GNIESLAW or GNIESLAW/LEWKOWICZ. I have never seen anything like this in 19th century records, and would appreciate someone explaining to me the meaning of multiple surnames. Thank you. Jay Gilbert Hastings on Hudson, NY

Help finding Cohen/House in Russia
#lithuania
Scott Ehrlich <scott@...>
Greetings:
I am trying to learn about my maternal grandparents - Israel Cohen and Rose/Chana Haus/House Cohen. According to a 1920 US Census, Israel and Rose House Cohen were born in Riga. My mom vividly recalls Rose telling her Rose was >from Minsk or Pinsk. A 1900 ship manifest - http://ehrlichtronics.com/manifest shows Israel and Rose (Chane on the manifest) came >from Vilna, but that appears to be false. Israel and Rose, and their son, David and David's wife, also Rose, are buried near me in Massachusetts - Israel Cohen, died 1950 at age 74 in USA Rose/Chane/Chana Cohen died 1964 at age 83 in USA Israel's parents, according to his US death record, were Samuel Cohen and Marcia Rose/Chane/Chana's parents, according to her US death record, were Melvin House and Toba. Israel apparently had a brother, Josef, according to the 1900 ship manifest. Israel and Rose had a son David. He is not listed on the ship manifest and appears to have been born in Russia. I have searched my ancestry.com and jewishgen accounts but cannot find anything on David or the marriage of Israel and Rose/Chana. I am keeping my mind open to the myriad of spellings for Israel, Cohen, House, Chana/Chane/Rose and David, including using the "Sounds Like" or "SoundEx" options in my searches. I have tested with familytreedna and none of those matches are close enough to help me. I am seeking documentation (or family) who might have, or can show, documented proof of Israel and Rose' marriage (which would help show where they were married and the spelling of Rose' given and maiden names), or even David's birth, to also reflect his parent's details. It would also be great to find documented proof of Israel's parents having Israel and David as children, but that is going one generation further. Any email addresses or web sites I can reach out to or visit in Minsk or Pinsk or elsewhere to help with this search? David had a social security number and I am awaiting the original application that would have been completed by he or his parents/family through the Social Security Administration's Freedom of Information Act Request to see what it might reveal. I know this post is long, but I wanted to make it as complete as possible with all relevant details. Thank you all for any leads. Scott Ehrlich, Boston, Massachusetts, USA Scott@ehrlichtronics.com MODERATOR'S NOTE: Please respond privately with family information. Suggestions for research methods or resources may be shared with the list.

I just found a citation in the JRI-Poland Lodz data base
that may be my grandfather Zelman Rozenblum. The box for both father and mother is empty. Is there any place to write or email to see if additional idenitification information is available about the parents? Also: the record is labeled: Piotrkow Gubernia/Lodz Province (records in Fond 1554 in Lodz Archive) Located at 51 degrees 35' 19 degrees 08' Does anyone know whether those degrees are Wieruszow? Many thanks for any information anyone may have. Sincerely, Ava Rosenblum

Finding possible Jewish family links
#general
John Chitty <jchitty@...>
Hello Listers,
I wonder if any member can help me with a family mystery? I am keen family historian and have traced several family links, but am at a loss as to how to verify (or disprove) an old family story. My late mother used to talk about my Dad's family being connected to the Jewish faith in some way but as there had been a family estrangement I was never able to track down the truth. The history is this: My paternal grandmother, Sarah Ann Humphrey nee Davis (1852-1944) was the daughter of Robert Davis and Ann (nee Reeves). Robert Davis was a cab proprietor in London, and Ann's father was Levi Reeves, a farmer >from Wiltshire. One of Sarah Ann's sons was named after his great-grandfather and named George Levi Piercy Humphrey. Sarah Ann's husband, Richard Humphrey, was at one time a tutor at Clifton College in Bristol, which I believe was founded for Jewish students. Further back in the family tree there are other males with what I believe to be traditional Jewish names - e.g. Benjamin, Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego. I have no idea how to trace Jewish families as my grandparents were married in an Anglican church in London and since then the family have been of the Anglican faith. One of my queries is this - did Jewish marriages have to be "legalised" in an Anglican church, as used to happen with Roman Catholics? Or have I got the family history totally wrong? And did the Jewish religion sometimes have to be practised in secret? I do hope some kind person will be able to help me sort out the family history. There are so few clues, but it may be that someone more skilled than I am would be able to point me in the right direction for further research. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me, Rose Chitty (nee Humphrey)

Re: Visits to Surrogates Court in Kings and Suffolk Counties, NY

Original Message from: sherribob <sherribob@comcast.net>:
Kings County (Brooklyn), NY estate files can be searched and viewedAlso on Family Search in another file is the index card index for the Brooklyn probate files. Generally you need to know the date of death or at least the year if it is a common name because the index is often nothing more that the file number and a two digit year. Sometimes if you get lucky some of the cards also have addresses. I do look ups for people at the Brooklyn court house and would be happy to discuss the steps off-line with anyone who is interested. I also gave a whole presentation on this topic last August at the conference in Boston. Allan Jordan MODERATOR NOTE: The FamilySearch probate card index may be found within the following collection: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1920234 Browse by selecting Kings County and then scroll down to the index cards.

[UK] 2021 Census Recommendation For Going Forth
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
I have previously posted about the UK's study, Beyond 2011, by the Office
for National Statistics (ONS) whether there should continue to be a census for England and Wales in 2021 or use administrative data instead. For over 200 years England and Wales has conducted a census every ten years beginning in 1801-except in 1941. (The General Register Office Scotland (GROS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for the census in Scotland and Northern Ireland.) The ONS stated the population is changing and they need to understand the changes as they continue. The ONS was looking for opportunities to modernize the existing process or develop an alternative census method that reuses existing data already held within government. On March 27, the UK Statistics Authority announced that the ONS's National Statistician recommended to the Board of the UK Statistics Authority a predominantly online census in 2021 supplemented by the further use of administrative and survey data. The Board announced they have accepted and endorsed this recommendation. The Chair of the UK Statistics Authority, wrote to the Minister for the Cabinet Office, to commend the National Statistician's recommendation to the Government. Under the Census Act 1920, it is now for the Government and Parliament to determine the arrangements for census-taking in England and Wales in the future. To read the announcement and letter the UK Statistics Authority wrote to the Minister for the Cabinet Office go to: http://tinyurl.com/mwsgq7p Original url: http://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/news/statement---census-and-the-future-provision-of-population-statistics-in-england-and-wales---27032014.pdf Thank you to Peter Calver of the LostCousins Newsletter for alerting us to this recent development for the continuation of the census in England and Wales.

Yizkor Book Project, March 2014
#austria-czech
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
The Children of Israel ran out of time before their flight >from Egypt and we at the Yizkor Book Project ran out of time trying to carry out all that we planned during March. Strange comparison? True, but I did want to let you know that we haven't been idle over the last month and also wanted to bring up the subject of Pesach/Passover... So, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families an extremely enjoyable Pesach holiday. So what did we actually do during March? I'm pleased to let you know that three new books were published during this last month through our Yizkor Books in Print (YBIP) Project: - Drahichyn, Belarus (Drohitchin Memorial (Yizkor) Book 500 years of Jewish Life) - Korczyna, Poland (Korczyna Memorial Book) - Horodenka, Ukraine (Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Horodenka, Ukraine) In addition, I have excellent news regarding the availability of new formats for existing books. Apart >from a usual hard cover format, we have now added a soft cover and e-book format for one of our existing books: - Yampol, Ukraine (Yampol Memorial Book) and details of these new formats and prices can be seen at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/ybip.html as well as information on the other books we now have available. Clearly, if these formats prove popular, we will consider preparing other books these ways. I do try, as much as possible, to regularly thank the hundreds of volunteers who help us out in various aspects of the Yizkor Book and are behind its success.

Rosa NAGEL buried in Vienna
#austria-czech
Robert Fraser
Dear Friends -
Whilst researching a distant relative, I came across an entry on the JOWBR, for a Rosa NAGEL. She died on 31 May 1960 and is buried in Wiener Zentralfriedhof at Tor 4 Gruppe 9 Row 3 Grave 25. The same information is given via ancestry, no doubt based on this database. Assuming that this information is extracted >from the IKG's own database, I checked, but could not find an entry for Rosa Nagel. Without actually going there to see the headstone, I have no way of double-checking this data. So which is correct? And why this discrepancy? Rosa Nagel may or may not be a relative, but the age is about right. She went to the USA in 1940 and became a US citizen. I always assumed she lived and died there. But maybe she later returned to Vienna.
