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

New JewishGen Class - Writing Short Reports May 10-May 31
#bessarabia
Nancy Holden
JewishGen will again offer a class in publishing your research. This
class concentrates on writing short reports. Time to get your data out of the shoebox and arrange it in a summary report? A quick, short report is great to send to relatives or other researchers and to remind you just where your last project left off. In this class we will practice writing 3 styles of reports: * a list style, * a lineage style report * a longer Genealogical Summary Report. The instructor will offer directions for using your genealogical software "publishing features," organizing your files and folders, citing your sources and making decisions about media snips and images. Requirements: Students must have done enough research to be ready to write. Students should have access to a genealogical software program and be comfortable with computers. Students must have 8-10 hours per week to study the assignments, write their reports and interact with the instructor. To meet the needs of international students this course is open 24/7. Tuition is $150 for this 3 week class and includes editing suggestions upon request. Enrollment is limited to 10 students. Address questions to: Nancy Holden JewishGen-Education@lyris.JewishGen.org If you have questions, I will be glad to review your project before you enroll. Nancy Holden

This Conference will be held at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, >from July 28 to August 2, 2019. EARLY-BIRD DISCOUNT CUTOFF DATE EXTENDED Early-bird registration for the full Conference at the discounted price of $325 continues through 11:59 PM, CDT (GMT-5), Thursday, May 9, 2019. After that, prices for full registration and spouse/significant other registration will increase by $50. The fees for daily registration and for purchase of the audio recordings will also go up. SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR JEWISH EDUCATORS On Sunday morning there will be a special sub-conference for Jewish educators. It will feature talks >from experts on ways to create a curriculum that will excite young students to study their family histories. A grant will underwrite the cost for up to 35 Cleveland-area educators. For details, look under the PROGRAM tab on the Conference website. PROGRAM OVERVIEW The main Conference will start Sunday morning at 10:15 with the first of some 184 presentations. Sunday will also include the popular SHARE Fair, and the Exhibit Hall will be open. On Sunday afternoon at 2:45, our Keynote Speaker, Daniel Goldmark, Director of the Center for Popular Music Studies at Case Western Reserve University, will describe how Jews contributed to the evolution of rock and roll. That will prepare us for the Sunday evening reception at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, just a few blocks >from the hotel. The "Rock Hall" will be open exclusively for us, and heavy (kosher) hors d'oevres will be served. In addition to the lectures, there will be 11 SIG luncheons during the week, many featuring speakers >from the European areas covered by the SIGs. There will also be 11 "Breakfasts with the Experts" that provide the opportunity to sit down in a small group (maximum 25) with top experts in many facets of Jewish genealogy. The program on Sunday through Wednesday will kick off with workshops for beginners (and those who feel that their skills need some refreshing). They will be led by certified genealogist Dr. Rhoda Miller, Ed.D., who will provide suggestions on how to get started, where to find resources, and how to organize what you are doing. Dr. Miller will also cover how to get the most out of the Conference for those attending their first one. There are over 35 Birds of a Feather (BOF) meetings along with additional SIG meetings. Eleven computer workshops will be offered, limited to 25 attendees each. Participants will need to bring a laptop computer with Internet access. Evening sessions will include the annual JewishGen gathering, which will introduce some major changes coming at that organization. Subsequent evenings will feature the Pamela Weisberger Memorial Lecture, the ever popular Jewpardy! game show night, and the Gala Banquet, featuring Michael Krasny, well known to NPR and KQED-FM San Francisco listeners. Krasny, a native Clevelander, will discuss the evolution of Jewish humor, the subject of his most recent book "Let There Be Laughter." During the daytime hours, there will be as many as nine sessions at any one time >from which to choose. For most sessions, audio recordings together with the speakers' slides will be available for purchase prior to and during the Conference. This year, there will be no video recording or streaming, so if you want to enjoy the best talks, you need to come to Cleveland. See you there this summer! Jay Sage Communications Chair

Update: ViewMate - Ekaterinoslav/Russian Birth Record 1894
#ukraine
Hilary Henkin
I received several replies to my ViewMate query, and got some great
information. Although I turned out to have pulled the wrong record, I learned a lot which will help me with future searches The record I found was >from July, not November, and >from Mariupol, not Ekaterinoslav. Although the birth record was for Ruchel, daughter of Chaya, they weren't MY Ruchel and Chaya. But I did learn that there are no known microfilmed records for Ekaterinoslav (Dnepropetrovsk), and that the Mariupol (and probably other) records have columns for the Russian date and the Hebrew date, not the Julian and Gregorian dates like I'd seen elsewhere. I even had a researcher help me with how the months look in Cyrllic, so next time I can recognize the right month. Since I did find a record for a baby Ruchel with a mother Chaya, I now have a good example of how those names appear visually (upstrokes and downstrokes, etc.) and that I already can recognize them when i see them again. Thanks to everyone, and I wish the best of luck in your own research! Hilary Henkin

1938 film of the Jewish residents of Sennfeld-Adelsheim
#general
Rich Samuels
Below is a link to film shot by Chicago attorney Max J. Korshak in
May, 1938 showing members of the family of Izaak Neuberger near their home in Sennfeld-Adelsheim. Max and his wife sponsored the emigration to the United States of five members of the Neuberger family. The film also shows some of the participants in the Zionist training school (hachshara) that operated 1936-1939 on land owned by Izaak Neuberger and his brother Adolf. Perhaps there is someone who can help me identify some of these young people who came >from all over Germany.
