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

Re: Russian West Point and Medals??
#general
Igor Holyboroda
Hello!
Earlier the case was discussed: "His grandchildren said he trained in the "Russian West Point" and that he was highly decorated, and particularly remember seeing a large gold medal. My question is, what could this "Russian West Point" be, and what might he have done to get a large gold medal? Gadalia ZAMALIN's grandson said that he was in the military working as a scribe (yes, it does seem like the typical tale), when edicts were passed and he lost everything, including his job and pension." In the response to this post it was explained: "Russian "West Point" was known as Imperial Nicolas Military Academy. Since Academy trained Imperial Russian Army officers with higher military education and military land surveyors" This explanation may make sense - the best graduating students of Russian Mil Academies could have been awarded by the (big/small) golden medals. At the same time there are some contradictions in all this story making it legendary: 1. As a rule military scribe could not have the officer's rank, in particular in the (Russian) Army. 2. A (religious) Jew could not have been the Imperial Russian Army officer, especially the student of the elite military Academy for the best army professionals already having the officer's rank. In given case it was theoretically possible only for the person baptized (into the Russian Orthodox church). I think that the person in question may really have been serving as a scribe (probably non-commissioned officer) in a mil academy having a numerous stuff. As a successful professional in his sphere he may have got some award (the Russian award possible in given case may be researched separately). Other possibilities (his officer's rank and especially the studies in the Imperial Russian elite mil educational institution) in given case are supposed to be practically impossible. Regards, Igor Holyboroda, Lviv, Ukraine.

Gadalia ZAMALIN's grandson said that he was in the military working as a scribe (yes, it does seem like the typical tale), when edicts were passed and he lost everything, including his job and pension." In the response to this post it was explained: "Russian "West Point" was known as Imperial Nicolas Military Academy. Since Academy trained Imperial Russian Army officers with higher military education and military land surveyors" This explanation may make sense - the best graduating students of Russian Mil Academies could have been awarded by the (big/small) golden medals. At the same time there are some contradictions in all this story making it legendary: 1. As a rule military scribe could not have the officer's rank, in particular in the (Russian) Army. 2. A (religious) Jew could not have been the Imperial Russian Army officer, especially the student of the elite military Academy for the best army professionals already having the officer's rank. In given case it was theoretically possible only for the person baptized (into the Russian Orthodox church). I think that the person in question may really have been serving as a scribe (probably non-commissioned officer) in a mil academy having a numerous stuff. As a successful professional in his sphere he may have got some award (the Russian award possible in given case may be researched separately). Other possibilities (his officer's rank and especially the studies in the Imperial Russian elite mil educational institution) in given case are supposed to be practically impossible.

new records from Dabrowa Tarnowska
#galicia
Howard Fink
I am very pleased to announce that JRI-Poland has just acquired more
vital records >from the Tarnow branch of the Polish State Archives from the town of Dabrowa Tarnowska. Our index of Dabrowa PSA data, which previously covered Births in years up through 1913, has now been extended to the new limit of the recent Polish privacy law changes. For the first time we have Marriage and Death records >from this town, since no records of these types seem to have survived >from the earlier years. JRI-Poland now has the index of surviving records of those types up through 1935, and has also acquired one more year of Births, >from 1915. This update adds about 1500 new vital records >from Dabrowa Tarnowska. While not every year is present in this new data, many are: Births: 1915 Marriages: 1915-1918, 1920-1935 Deaths: 1916-1917, 1919-1920, 1922, 1925-1926, 1929-1931, 1935 The missing years of Death records are not known to exist at this time; The 1919 Marriages do exist, but are located in another archive branch. Until JRI-Poland recovers the cost we have spent to acquire these records this new data will not be available online. However, those who make qualified contributions will get access to this data right away. This is a new Dabrowa Tarnowska PSA Project (B 1915, MD 1915-1935). The Qualifying Contribution required to access the data before it has been fully funded (and becomes available online) is $75. You can see our project status online: http://jri-poland.org/town/dabrowa_tarnows.htm Information about various ways of contributing can be found at: http://jri-poland.org/support.htm Please indicate the allocation of your contribution as "Dabrowa Tarnowska PSA". Please contact me if you would like to know if a (short) list of your specific family members are present in this new data.
