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

Thanks Re: Immigrant bank records?
#general
Thanks to all who have replied. I've already been able to prove that
one of the records I'd saved was *not* for the right person, but two other ones *were* - these links proved particularly helpful: https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/PhilaLipshutz.htm https://www.jewishgen.org/databases/USA/PhilaBlitzstein.htm (Is there one for the Rosenbaum bank too? I can't find it!) And Moishe Miller's explanation of how to use the Temple University site was particularly helpful. Martha Forsyth Newton, MA

I found reference to an organization called Netherland Israelitisch Sick Fund. Given that one of the ancestors had been born in Holland, maybe they were members. Hope this helps a little.

Re: Bessarabia SIG, update for the month of March 2019
#bessarabia
Yefim Kogan
Dear researchers,
Here is an update for the Bessarabia SIG projects for the month of March 2019. See also at What's New at Bessarabia SIG website. There are a number of projects we made a good progress on, like Revision Lists, Miriam W.'s Archival material, but this time I am only going to updates at the Kishinev Jewish Cemetery. Kishinev was a main town in Bessarabia, and later in the republic, part of the Soviet Union, and now it is a capital of independent state Republic of Moldova. The cemetery we are talking about is one of the largest in the region, but this is counting that about half of the cemetery was destroyed, and a park was built on the territory. Also when some smaller cemeteries were destroyed during 60-70s, a number of people moved the graves of their loved once to Kishinev Jewish cemetery. In my family was such a case in 1970s, when my uncle moved grave of his mother >from Kaushany Jewish cemetery (cemetery was destroyed in 1970s) to Kishinev. Jewish Cemeteries. Updates: Completed photographing and indexing sector 4 in Kishinev Jewish Cemetery and sent to JOWBR 1517 burial records with 1371 images and 33 images of Unknown graves can be viewed at Bessarabia SIG website at Kishinev Jewish Cemetery Report (https://www.jewishgen.org/Bessarabia/files/cemetery/Kishinev/KishinevJewishCemeteryReport.pdf ). or directly at Kishinev Jewish Cemetery Unknown graves (https://www.jewishgen.org/bessarabia/files/cemetery/Kishinev/KishinevJewishUnknown.asp ). I want to add that we received a set of photos >from Sector 5 (about 3000!), and part >from sector 3. Planning to get all photos >from 3, 6 and 7 this year, and remaining 1, 8 and 9 will be photographed next spring. Kishinev Jewish Cemetery events report (end of 2018 â?? February 2019).

Yizkor Book Project, March 2019
#dna
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As it is quite likely that this finds you in the midst of preparations for the Pesach/Passover holiday, I will try not to take up to much of your time. I would, however, like to let you know about the highlight activities of the Yizkor Book Project during March. During last month I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to receive donations of complete books that we have now placed online. The books are: - " My Survival" written by Israel Stern z"l, a survivor of the community of Mielnice, now Melnytsya-Podilska, Ukraine was kindly presented to the YB Project by his grandson, David Stern. - " Frampol in the memory of its descendants" is a book in Russian about the community of Frampol, Ukraine which is now called Kosohirka. It was written by Mikhail Freyder and Roman Geller in order to preserve the memory of their ancestor's community of Frampol and has been gratefully been made available to our project. I am always pleased to see the addition of material written in languages other than English as it enables the exposure of this important material to an even wider audience. The material we do have in other languages appears in our Translations Index (link below) under the category "Other languages" and includes material in Hebrew, Spanish, French, Polish, Russian and even, Lithuanian. Further good news is that in March we completed uploading the "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage" book abut various communities in Lithuania, kindly presented to us by Joel Alpert. For your information, this book is also available for purchase under the auspices of our Yizkor Books in Print Project. And on the YBIP Project, last month yet another new book hit the shelves - "Memorial book of the Ritavas Community" about the community of Rietavas, Lithuania. Once again, the wheels of this project continue to roll and present us with new books on a regular basis and we have Joel Alpert and his dedicated and talented team of volunteers to thank for that. Now, all that is left for me before our list of new and updated projects, is to wish you dear readers and your families a most enjoyable Pesach/ Passover holiday. And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during March: We have added in 6 new entries: - Crocmaz, Moldova (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/akk374.html - Jieznas, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_055.html - Krekenava, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_089.html - Luts'k, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Lutsk) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lutsk1/lutskh.html [Hebrew] - Ramygala, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Lithuania6/lit6_221.html - Zelva, Belarus (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00346.html And two new books: - Kosohirka (Frampol), Ukraine (Frampol in the memory of its descendants) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kosohirka/Kosohirkar.html [Russian] - Melnytsya-Podilska, Ukraine (My Survival) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Mielnice/Mielnice.html And we have continued to update 23 of our existing projects: - Biala Podlaska, Poland (Book of Biala Podlaska) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Biala_Podlaska/Biala_Podlaska.html - Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyy (Akkerman), Ukraine (Akkerman and the Towns of its District; Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Akkerman/Akkerman.html - Braslaw, Belarus (Darkness and desolation) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Braslaw/Braslaw.html - Chelm, Poland (Commemoration book Chelm) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/chelm/chelm.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Grabowiec, Poland (Memorial Book Grabowitz) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Grabowiec/Grabowiec.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Lithuania (Lite) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lita/lita.html - Miskolc, Hungary (The martyrs of Miskolc and vicinity) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miskolc/Miskolc.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Ozeryany, Ukraine (Memorial book, Jezierzany and surroundings) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ozeryany/ozeryany.html - Przemysl, Poland (Przemysl memorial book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/przemysl/przemysl.html - Raciaz, Poland (Memorial book of the community of Racionz) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Raciaz/Raciaz.html - Radekhov, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Radikhov) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Radekhov/Radekhov.html - Shumskoye, Ukraine (Szumsk - Memorial book of the Martyrs of Szumsk) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/szumsk/szumsk.html - Slutsk, Belarus (Slutsk and vicinity memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Slutsk/Slutsk.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - Tarnow, Poland (The life and decline of a Jewish city) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tarnow/tarnow.html - Turobin, Poland (The Turobin book; in memory of the Jewish community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Turobin/Turobin.html - Voranava, Belarus (Voronovo: Memorial Book to the Martyrs of Voronovo) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/voronovo/voronovo.html - Wolomin, Poland (Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wolomin/wolomin.html - Wyszkow, Poland (Wyszkow Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wyszkow/Wyszkow.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As it is quite likely that this finds you in the midst of preparations for the Pesach/Passover holiday, I will try not to take up to much of your time. I would, however, like to let you know about the highlight activities of the Yizkor Book Project during March. During last month I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to receive donations of complete books that we have now placed online. The books are: - " My Survival" written by Israel Stern z"l, a survivor of the community of Mielnice, now Melnytsya-Podilska, Ukraine was kindly presented to the YB Project by his grandson, David Stern. - " Frampol in the memory of its descendants" is a book in Russian about the community of Frampol, Ukraine which is now called Kosohirka. It was written by Mikhail Freyder and Roman Geller in order to preserve the memory of their ancestor's community of Frampol and has been gratefully been made available to our project. I am always pleased to see the addition of material written in languages other than English as it enables the exposure of this important material to an even wider audience. The material we do have in other languages appears in our Translations Index (link below) under the category "Other languages" and includes material in Hebrew, Spanish, French, Polish, Russian and even, Lithuanian. Further good news is that in March we completed uploading the "Preserving Our Litvak Heritage" book abut various communities in Lithuania, kindly presented to us by Joel Alpert. For your information, this book is also available for purchase under the auspices of our Yizkor Books in Print Project. And on the YBIP Project, last month yet another new book hit the shelves - "Memorial book of the Ritavas Community" about the community of Rietavas, Lithuania. Once again, the wheels of this project continue to roll and present us with new books on a regular basis and we have Joel Alpert and his dedicated and talented team of volunteers to thank for that. Now, all that is left for me before our list of new and updated projects, is to wish you dear readers and your families a most enjoyable Pesach/ Passover holiday.
