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

INTRO- Seek Pauline TOBIAS, nee FREEMAN b Alsace 1848
#germany
Daria O'Connor <dariaoconnor@...>
Hello GerSig,
I have just joined the group after researching my family tree for about a year. Just before starting my research I had my DNA profiled. When I saw my ashkenazi hertiage pop up it reminded me that one of my GGrandmothers was a German jew. Her parents were both >from Germany and immigrated to the Hartford, Connecticut area and married there in 1867. I was lucky to have an aunt who was still alive and she told me what she knew about this branch of our family including a story about a mysterious disappearance of my 3x GGrandmother. The family story was that she went back to Germany, leaving her children behind. I want to know what happened to her and so far I have not found her in the US after much looking. There is some history of mental illness in our family and this 3x GGrandmother may have suffered a great deal because of it. I would like to find out what happened to her. Here is what I know: Searching for deathplace of Pauline TOBIAS: Pauline TOBIAS, nee FREEMAN, born on January 18, 1848 in Alsace (then Germany), was married to Theodore TOBIAS in Hartford, CT on 7 July, 1867. On January 4, 1882 they were divorced and she was found guilty to have an affair with her neighbor Robert MILLER for almost 7 years. The last trace of her is a newspaper article >from Hartford saying that she was arrested for drunkenness/unsound mind, two weeks after her ex re-married in July 1882. She might have been depressive as well since her sister committed suicide by poison in 1874 in Hartford and a nephew, Edward FREEMAN, also committed suicide by pistol in 1920 in Boston. He was declared to be temporarily insane as his wife had just minutes before lost her battle with tuberculosis. Pauline had a brother named Jacob FREEMAN living in Boston, MA and a brother named Martin FREEMAN living in Chicago, IL. Maybe she moved there or to New York or even back to her parents, Ignatz FREEMAN/FREIMANN and Sophie BERLINER to Bad Buchau, Germany. We don't know if she re-married or if she spent her last years in a mental hospital. Obviously she didn't marry Robert Miller >from Hartford. If you ever came across a person like Pauline TOBIAS, please send us a message. Thank you, Daria Lyons O'Connor, Brookline, MA, USA, dariaoconnor@...

Autosomal DNA testing (German comment/ question)
#germany
Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer
Hi,
I have had mtDNA and Y-DNA tests done with Family Tree DNA for my husband, my brother, and myself, because several experts have told me that they are the best company for this (not to mention that Ancestry DNA is no longer offering these two tests). Recently, I had FTDNA do autosomal testing on my husband and my brother. These tests are supposed to give you a breakdown of your ancestral background >from various regions of the world. Since my father's husband is completely German (making him 50% German), and my brother and I are about 40% German, I was surprised that the breakdown they sent us showed no German ancestry. When I wrote to ask them why, they said they have no German population reference group. I found this amazing, since German is one of the most reported foreign ancestries in census data. My husband's breakdown did show 12% ancestry >from Jewish diaspora (mathematically, exactly what I expected), so I can figure that accounts for about 12% of his German ancestry, but that still leaves me with 38% to allocate >from the other groups that show in his results. I'm going to investigate whether Ancestry.com has a German reference group or not, and then perhaps test with them. However, I thought I'd ask if anyone on the list has experience with autosomal testing with a company that has a German reference group. Thanks! Christine Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer Hyde Park, NY christine3cats@... MODERATOR NOTE: Private replies only. I suggest posting also to the DNA SIG.

Cartography and Cadastral Maps: Conference Papers online for free viewing
#galicia
Pamela Weisberger
In the fall of 2013 Jay Osborn and I participated in a conference in
Pisa, Italy called "Cartography and Cadastral Maps: Visions >from the Past for a Vision of Our Future" sponsored by ICARUS: the International Centre for Archival Research. The catalog of conference proceedings are now online, edited by Benedetto Benedetti, Charles Farrugia, Beatrice Romiti and Andras Sipos. The papers can be viewed online an/or downloaded for free: http://edizioni.sns.it/it/testi-online/pdf-scaricabile-282.html Click on the author's name and program title to view them. Besides our two presentations dealing with Galician cadastral maps and their importance to genealogical research, there are others dealing with regions of interest to Jewish genealogists including Italy, Hungary, Estonia, Croatia and France. One very interesting paper by Julian Holzapel, deals with 3,000 aerial reconnaissance photos taken by a unit of German Bavarian aviators >from 1917-1918 in historical Palestine while on military assignment when Imperial Germany was assisting the Ottoman Empire during WWI. Because the photographers realized they were flying over the Holy Land they took photographs that went beyond the military mission, including religious sites and Jewish settlements. Most papers are in English, some in the native language of the presenter, but still with a short introduction in English: - Andras Sipos, Cadastral Maps -- Ideal Field for International Archival Cooperation - Nicolas Verdier, Estate Maps in 18th Century France: Between Representation of Land Rights and the Production of Accurate Maps. - Eniko Torok, Step by Step: Digitisation Projects of Cadastral Documents in the Central Archive of National Archives of Hungary, Budapest. - Pamela A.

Aron & Simone BURSZTAJN
According to Pages of Testimony at Yad Vashem, Aron Bursztajn, a second cousin, b June 17, 1901 Brzeziny, Poland, lived in Paris France and was married to Simone (not further described). According to the Shoah Memorial Paris Aron lived at 2 Cite des Envierges, 20th District Paris. He was deported on Convoy #5 28 June 1942 and died in Auschwitz Oct 6 1942. The fate of Simone is unknown. Her name sounds French and she may, or may not, have been Jewish thus avoiding deportation. Any ideas as to identifying Simone, when/if a marriage took place in Paris etc. would be appreciated. Stanley Grossman Glasgow, Scotland Researching BURSZTAJN, GROSMAN, BOCIAN, (Brzeziny & Lodz)

Two 19th cent. London Jewish well known painters named SOLOMON
#general
משה פלבר
Dear Genners
A London cousin of mine, about 5 times removed... was married to a brother of a well known Royal Academician Painter by the name of Solomon J. SOLOMON (1860-1927) s/o Joseph SOLOMON. This painter "invented" Camouflage during WWI and painted members of the Royal family. Then there was another London Jewish painter, Simeon SOLOMON (1840-1905) s/o Michael (Meyer) SOLOMON, a well to do Leghorn-Hat maker who was married to an artist, Catherine (Kate) LEVY. Not only Simeon's mother but his elder siblings too were painters, Abraham Solomon (1824-1862) and Rebecca Solomon (1832-1886). Now, I wonder if anyone of you is familiar with the genealogy of these two SOLOMON painters and is aware of any family connection between the two. Wishing you Moadim LeSimchah Moshe Felber Jerusalem (Member 74848)
