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

(US-RI) Bill Introduced Proposed to Provide Free Access to Death and Marriage Certificates
#general
Jan Meisels Allen
A bill has been introduced in Rhode Island that if enacted will change the
current Vital Records Law (Section 23-3-23). Provisions of the bill would do the following: The public is allowed to examine and copy death and marriage certificates filed with the Department of Health. Social Security numbers will be redacted prior to inspection. The proposed law prohibits the department of health and municipalities >from charging for examination of these records, but usual per page charges apply for making copies. Existing provisions that are being recommended to be changed include: 1. A person could not inspect, copy or disclose information in vital records except if authorized by regulation or in this bill. 2. It contains a 100 year embargo for birth records, however, the records will be open for research by any member of an incorporated genealogy society. It limits to the specific family members, and others including members of genealogical societies the ability to examine the original or copy of a birth certificate or record. There is an appeals process if a records custodian refuses to permit inspection or copying of records. 3. The public is allowed to examine and copy and death and marriage certificates filed with the Department of Health. Social Security numbers will be redacted prior to inspection. The proposed law prohibits the department of health and municipalities >from charging for examination of these records, but usual per page charges apply for making copies . To read the bill see: http://webserver.rilin.state.ri.us/BillText/BillText15/HouseText15/H5309.pdf [or http://tw.gs/zzt1f2 - MODERATOR] Thank you to Dick Eastman and Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter for informing us about the new bill.

Shanghai resources
#general
Hello,
I have hit a large brick wall. I am researching Semon DITTMAN (originally named Simeon DITTMANN and subsequently Simon) who was born in New York City on June 28th 1858. Through passport applications and shipping records, I have established that he left the US in 1895 and I have no evidence so far that he ever returned. He lived in South Africa until 1906 when he turns up in Shanghai and the last record I have found was a passport application to take a holiday in Japan in 1918 after which the trail goes cold. I have found no record that Semon died in the US and so therefore have drawn the inference that he probably died in Shanghai or possibly whilst holidaying in Japan. Question: is there a data-base or place to where I can send my query in Shanghai (where Semon claimed to be his permanent home) or possibly Japan. I have researched in all the usual archival resources but just cannot find an address or website which I can approach to find out about the remainder of Semon's life and death. All suggestions gratefully received! I have also circulated this query to the GERSIG and Early American lists as Semon's parents (Eduard DITTMANN and Charlotte ROSENFELD) were born in Bavaria but died in the US, in case someone else is also researching this DITTMANN family. Diana (MOHR) GOMES da COSTA, Kent UK - formerly >from London - Researcher number: 166938 Researches include ARNSTEIN, BACH, BASS, BERLIN, COHN, DITTMANN, FLACHFELD, GUETERMANN, HAHN, HELLMANN, HIRSCHMANN, KOHN, KRAILSHEIMER, KUGLER, LOEWI, MANES, MARX, MENDEL, MORGENTHAU, MOHR, ROSENFELD, ROSENWALD, UHLMANN, WEIKERSHEIMER and ZIRNDORFER - all originally >from Bavaria

To those interested:
The best compilation about preserved census and census-like material from the 18-19th centuries for the Kingdom of Hungary that I havefound was written in 2011 by researchers at the Hungarian Demographic Research Institute. You can find it at the link below: http://www.demogr.mpg.de/papers/working/wp-2011-020.pdf I was referred to this article when I inquired at the KÜzponti Statisztikai Hivatal KÜnyvtår (Library of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office), which is the organization that has been carrying out the censuses beginning in 1869 until the present.
