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

Dr Wolff from Breslau 1870's
#poland
Geoff Kaiser <geoff.kaiser@...>
Dear Researchers,
I have some information that has indicated that a Dr Wolff (given name unknown) in my family tree was appraently the Physician to Auguste Viktoria the wife of Kaiser Wilhelm II before she married him. This was presumably in the 1870's. Dr Wolff had a sister Johanna and their parents may have been Isaac WOLFF and Hanne NATHAN. Does any one have any suggestions for how I could gain further information that could support or otherwise this family anecdote. Also contact >from any one that thinks they may have a connection to either this WOLFF or NATHAN line would be appreciated. Many thanks Geoff Kaiser Melbourne - Australia

tombstone rubbings
#romania
Laurie Budgar <lbudgar@...>
During my recent trip to Hungary and Romania, we visited the tiny towns
of Asuajul de Jos and Asuajul de Sus (now Romania), where my great-great grandfather Jonasz JAKAB and one of his sons (Ferenc) was born. We found an equally tiny cemetery between the two towns-- there were maybe 6 or 8 graves. While the grass around them had been cut, the stones were tilted at odd angles and trash had been tossed next to one of them. The writing on them was badly eroded, so we couldn't really capture it on photographs (though we took some anyway). Instead we did tombstone rubbings. I admit we didn't prepare for this, so we used, alternately, a pencil and a burnt stick. On one, my mother, who was trying to be helpful, thought a highlighter might help-- clearly this was not good for the rubbing or the gravestone! Also, the paper we had was slightly larger than 8.5 x 11, so it was slightly too narrow and a few letters got cut off on the sides, and we needed to use 4 consecutive sheets in order to get the writing all the way down the tombstone. (Only one tombstone was even in good enough shape for rubbings). In any case, the writing was in Hebrew (or perhaps Yiddish?). I've posted these rubbings on ViewMate. Unfortunately, ViewMate requires everything to be submitted as a JPG, and for some reason, these scanned MUCH better as a document into a PDF file. So between the rubbing errors and the scanning, there's a degradation of quality. With that said, if anyone is able to translate them I'd greatly appreciate it. They are #s 8923, 8924, 8925 and 8926. Or, if anyone would like me to send PDF versions to them off-list, I can do that too. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Shari Kantrow
Hello again,
I need some clarification on this. Looking at the JRI-Poland index, I found what I think is my g-grandmothers birth record. Oddly enough, there were 5 other entries for that same year with the same father listed.: KAWKIEWICZ, Cipa b. 1863 father Daniel Herszkowicz KAWKIEWICZ, Mendel b. 1863 father Daniel Herszkowicz KAWKIEWICZ, Guta b. 1863 father Daniel Herszkowicz KAWKIEWICZ, Herszk b. 1863 father Daniel Herszkowicz KAWKIEWICZ, Izrael b. 1863 father Daniel Herszkowicz KAWKIEWICZ, Sora Frejda b.1863father DanielHerszkowicz Some thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Wolf in Lviv
#poland
sbloom@...
First, you should be sure you are using variants of the names that you
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
are likely to hit upon in records. I.e., Harry and Rose are most likely Hersh (or Gersh, Hirsch, Hersz, etc.) and Ruchl (I'd say also Rosa, eventhough the daughter took on that name in English). Goodman is probably GUTMAN. Wolf is possibly WULF. Also, be sure too look in nearby towns, or really any other matches in databases that seem to come pretty close to the info you have. That is, there is really no reason to think they were always in Lviv, so keep options open (though, Poland and Ukraine would be best bets--perhaps Lithuania and Belarus wouldnt be too far afield). Also consider that though the date you have is "exact", it may have just been adopted as an exact date at some later time for use in American records. So, if you see an 1865 birth, for instance, don't reject it immediately. Steve Bloom Farmville, VA
Can you help me! My gmother,Rosa(Chage)Wolf was born in Lemberg,Austria
