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

Elliott Cohen Bio Elliott was born in Brooklyn, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and received his medical degree >from the University of Maryland in 1968. His interest in family genealogy began in the early 1970s when he was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany with the U.S. Army as a psychiatrist.

Researching European Ancestors of the KRONSBERG Family
#general
Elliot Kronsberg <ekrons@...>
Sorry that my formatting will definitely not be correct, but I just
found this group and was hoping someone might have some information I have been unable to find. My great-great grandfather was Abraham KRONSBERG, who lived in Tilghman's Island, Maryland until he died in 1918. >from what I can tell, he was born in Ukraine around 1878. I can find sparse references to his parents - Edward KRONSBERG and Miriam STOLLER - but no information about them. His father's name is odd because Abraham's son was also named Edward, which I know is unusually for Jewish families. I would love to know anything about Abraham's parents and potentially other relatives. Abraham had a sister Ida who married into the FLEISCHMAN family of North Carolina, and I have been able to trace their whole family. If anyone has any connection to the KRONSBERGS, I would love to hear from you.Thank you, Elliot Kronsberg MODERATOR NOTE: Hi Elliott! Welcome to the group. Your formatting was perfect! Hope you get the info you're looking for.

Request for letter translation on ViewMate - Yiddish
#general
Janice Brockman
Hello JewishGen -
Subject: ViewMate translation request - Yiddish I respectfully request a full translation of what I believe to be the mostly Yiddish text on the four pages of a letter found in my husband's grandmother's possessions. The four pages of this letter are found on ViewMate at the following four addresses: Page 1 - http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM52974 Page 2 - http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM52975 Page 3 - http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM52976 Page 4 - http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM52977 Please respond using the online ViewMate form. I am hoping to cull information >from these letters about my husband's grandmother's life and perhaps the life of family members back in Russia. We suspect these letters came >from her mom or dad back in Ukraine, Russia circa 1920 - 1940. It looks like there may be some longhand Russian on page 4. Thank you so much, Janice Brockman, Massachusetts
