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

I have been trying to sort out a mystery related to someone I am certain
is my ancestor (Mary / Miriam SCHER) who was married to Jacob CINOMAN. They lived in Philadelphia. She (and possibly he) are >from Lithuania, born around 1865. The question is why Jacob's wife is listed variously as Mary (1893, 1910) and as Rebecca (1900, 1920). Are they the same person or two people? Record of stillborn child, parents Mary and Jacob Cinamon (1893) from 1900 census: Jacob & Beckie Zinonnam (children Bessie, Rachel, Sam, Ida,Annie, Harry) from 1910 census: Jacob & Mary Cimmser (children Bessie, Ray, Samuel, Ida, Anna,Harry) from 1920 census: Jacob & Becca Zimmerman (children Harry Ida) In various SSNrecords for the children, their mother is listed as Rebecca Jacobs, Rebecca Benjamin, Miriam Scher Is it possible that Mary and Rebecca are the same person, but if so why would the children list such different names for their mother? Any suggestions for how to sort this out would be greatly appreciated.

The family originally came >from Moghilev-Podolski. I have information that she later went by the name Fannie and had daughters Florence and Ann, but I don't know her married name or where she lived.

Shalom,
After a prolonged period in which our Yizkor Books Main Name Index (YBMNI) has been left "orphaned", Linda Richman has kindly taken the helm as project coordinator and I'm pleased to inform you that last month quite a few thousand entries were added to this index which now includes more than 90,000 records. For those of you unfamiliar with the YBNMNI, it was set up as a researchers to find where particular family names appear in the various Yizkor books. As you can imagine, a great deal of painstaking work is required to extract the names >from the translations, setup them up in lists and pass them on to be uploaded to the YBMNI database. If you would be interested in joining the team carrying this out, I would be very glad to hear >from you. In the meantime, you can check the index out for yourself at: http://www.jewishgen.org/databases/Yizkor/Names/ Apart >from this index, I would like to remind you that we also have the necrology index which contains the names appearing in the various Yizkor book necrologies - another invaluable research tool.
