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

INTRO - researching WULFF family from Mecklenburg Schwerin
#germany
Jens Wulff <jens.wulff@...>
Moderator note: An introduction message like this one will greatly improve
the success potential for new GerSIG members. Please send your "INTRO" or your "My Research Update" message. Moderator 1 ========> Hello fellow GerSig members! I joined the group end of October 2014. I have been doing genealogy research for little more than a year and am an absolute beginner in doing German Jewish research. I live in the town of Fredensborg in the north eastern part of Sealand, Denmark. Fredensborg is the town where the Danish Queen and Prince have their Summer Residence. My native language is Danish and I read and speak English, German, French, Swedish and understand Norwegian and - with an educational background where advanced Latin was mandatory - some Italian and Spanish. My formal education are Master Degrees in World History and Danish Literature but my working life has been centered around the IT-industry, where business understanding, software development and system operations with focus on processes, standards, and management have been the main areas. I understand the basics and the advanced features of computers. I have identified the names and birth and death dates of all of my grandparents, all of my great grandparents and all of my great great grandparents, except for my German ancestors, the WULFF branch :( In fact about half the other branches have been traced back to the sixteenth century. My primary research goals now are both vertical and horisontal. Vertically to uncover my German Ancestors and those of my wife and horizontally to identify the life conditions of each generation based on whatever details are available. Naturally this should end up in the fictitious story of my wife's and my family for the children to enjoy, maybe expand and certainly to pass on to the coming generations. Best Regards, Jens Christian Wulff, Fredensborg, Denmark - jens.wulff@complicity.dk My JGFF Researcher ID number is 654196. I plan to enter the following in the JGFF: WULFF - Amalienhof (?), Mecklenburg Schwerin to Frederikshavn, Hjoerring, Denmark around 1858 and possibly the spouse TUCK (U umlaut} - Amalienhof (?), Mecklenburg Schwerin to Frederikshavn, Hjoerring, Denmark around 1858

Presented by Dina Carson Open to the public - all welcome! Location: Jewish Community Center, 350 South Dahlia Street, Denver Time: 10:00 am until Noon on Sunday, November 9th One of the biggest challenges in using newspapers for genealogical research is determining whether a newspaper was published in the location and time when your ancestors lived.

Did you know that most 19th century newspapers issued death notices but did not call them obituaries? Discover how to locate those hidden gems with simple search techniques. Newspapers provide rich source material for writing about our ancestors' lives. Come learn how to dig up the dirt on your ancestors. Dina Carson has been involved in genealogy for more than two decades, and is currently the coordinator of the Boulder Pioneers Project, a comprehensive look at the original source documents for Boulder County during the Territorial period (1859-1876).

#general
The Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island (JGSLI) is proud to announce its
new website at http://jgsli.org/ Please feel free to visit our site, watch our welcoming video and read through our resources, services and projects. Lauren Fox, the site's designer, worked on the website with our former president Rhoda Miller for an independent study project at Dowling College. After an off-the-cuff question as to whether she knew anything about her ancestry, Rhoda's research, that was to include a standard search of typical documents, revealed a connection to two well know Yiddish poets and an interesting Holocaust family story. The methods and techniques used to create her family history became the subject of our very successful October monthly meeting, "Who Do You Think You Are, Lauren Fox?" JGSLI is also pleased to announce the inauguration of its YouTube channel. Our videos can be accessed the "Resources and Services" tab on our website homepage, (ultimately >from http://jgsli.org/youtube/) or directly from YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUV8xttIn93AwJX2_I0AIAg Our first 5 short videos include: 8 Ways to Find Your Ancestral Home 8 Pieces of information on a Passenger Manifest Naturalization Documents in a Nutshell 8 Pieces of Information on a NYC Death Certificate 8 Sites You Should Explore for Holocaust Research If you have any comments or questions, please contact me directly.

Yizkor Book Project, October 2014
#general
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As with quite a few of my recent Yizkor Book Project reports, once again, I am able to announce the very gratifying news that yet another Yizkor Book has now been completely translated and appears online. This time the project which has reached this lofty goal is: Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) which was adeptly coordinated by Allan Mantel and the riveting translations it contains were prepared by Asher Szmulewicz and Gloria Berkenstat Freund. Kudos to you all! I was going to categorize what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during October as the "Ukrainian Invasion" but realized that the term has already been used... The reason I wanted to emphasize Ukraine is because I wanted to point out the very large number of updates made relating to Ukrainian communities during this past month. In particular ten new entries were added from the Pinkas Hakehillot Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities inPoland) for Ukrainian communities and I wish to thank Ron Doctor, Ellen Garshick and the Kremenets District Research Group for being the driving forces behind this welcome initiative. For those of you who aren't familiar, the Yad Vashem museum in Israel published a very large series of Pinkas Hakehillot (community encyclopedias) presenting details of a huge number of communities which had a large or small Jewish presence within them before the Holocaust. As such, these volumes do present us with unique information on communities that might not have been covered in any Yizkor book and hence, their importance to us. I have pleased to see that more and more people are taking interest in these volumes and if you are contemplating in sponsoring or translating any of the articles >from these encyclopedias, please contact me and I will assist in facilitating their translation. Now to facts and figures for October. During this last month we have added in 2 new projects: - Miechow, Charsznica & Ksiaz, Poland (Miechov Memorial Book, Charsznica and Ksiaz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miechow/Miechow.html - "Tales of my first life 1923-1946" by Yochanan Dvir http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dvir/Dvir.html Added in 10 new entries: - Krasnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179a.html - Krichil'sk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179d.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179e.html - Krupets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179b.html - Krymno, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179c.html - Podlesnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00150.html - Shatsk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206a.html - Shums'k, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206b.html - Vishnevets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081b.html - Vyshgorodok, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081.html We have continued to update 27 of our existing projects: - Bender, Moldova (Bendery Community Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bender/Bender.html - Ciechanowiec, Poland (Ciechanoviec-Bialystok District;

Kozienice-Szames: looking for Marriage record no 35 1903 of Malka Szames and Lazar Frydman
#general
Olivier Dzik <olivierdzik@...>
Dear all,
I am looking for the marriage record no 35, year 1903 in the Kozienice book for Lazar Frydman and Malka Szames. The marriage occured in 1889-90 but was probably recorded later, in 1903. If you can not send the record itself, a transcript will be ok or at least the names of Malka Szames parents. Thank you very much for your time. Arie DZIK

Yizkor Book Project, October 2014
#poland
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
As with quite a few of my recent Yizkor Book Project reports, once again, I am able to announce the very gratifying news that yet another Yizkor Book has now been completely translated and appears online. This time the project which has reached this lofty goal is: Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) which was adeptly coordinated by Allan Mantel and the riveting translations it contains were prepared by Asher Szmulewicz and Gloria Berkenstat Freund. Kudos to you all! I was going to categorize what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during October as the "Ukrainian Invasion" but realized that the term has already been used... The reason I wanted to emphasize Ukraine is because I wanted to point out the very large number of updates made relating to Ukrainian communities during this past month. In particular ten new entries were added from the Pinkas Hakehillot Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities inPoland) for Ukrainian communities and I wish to thank Ron Doctor, Ellen Garshick and the Kremenets District Research Group for being the driving forces behind this welcome initiative. For those of you who aren't familiar, the Yad Vashem museum in Israel published a very large series of Pinkas Hakehillot (community encyclopedias) presenting details of a huge number of communities which had a large or small Jewish presence within them before the Holocaust. As such, these volumes do present us with unique information on communities that might not have been covered in any Yizkor book and hence, their importance to us. I have pleased to see that more and more people are taking interest in these volumes and if you are contemplating in sponsoring or translating any of the articles >from these encyclopedias, please contact me and I will assist in facilitating their translation. Now to facts and figures for October. During this last month we have added in 2 new projects: - Miechow, Charsznica & Ksiaz, Poland (Miechov Memorial Book, Charsznica and Ksiaz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miechow/Miechow.html - "Tales of my first life 1923-1946" by Yochanan Dvir http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dvir/Dvir.html Added in 10 new entries: - Krasnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179a.html - Krichil'sk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179d.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179e.html - Krupets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179b.html - Krymno, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179c.html - Podlesnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00150.html - Shatsk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206a.html - Shums'k, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206b.html - Vishnevets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081b.html - Vyshgorodok, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081.html We have continued to update 27 of our existing projects: - Bender, Moldova (Bendery Community Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bender/Bender.html - Ciechanowiec, Poland (Ciechanoviec-Bialystok District;

Shalom,
As with quite a few of my recent Yizkor Book Project reports, once again, I am able to announce the very gratifying news that yet another Yizkor Book has now been completely translated and appears online. This time the project which has reached this lofty goal is: Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) which was adeptly coordinated by Allan Mantel and the riveting translations it contains were prepared by Asher Szmulewicz and Gloria Berkenstat Freund. Kudos to you all! I was going to categorize what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during October as the "Ukrainian Invasion" but realized that the term has already been used... The reason I wanted to emphasize Ukraine is because I wanted to point out the very large number of updates made relating to Ukrainian communities during this past month. In particular ten new entries were added from the Pinkas Hakehillot Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities inPoland) for Ukrainian communities and I wish to thank Ron Doctor, Ellen Garshick and the Kremenets District Research Group for being the driving forces behind this welcome initiative. For those of you who aren't familiar, the Yad Vashem museum in Israel published a very large series of Pinkas Hakehillot (community encyclopedias) presenting details of a huge number of communities which had a large or small Jewish presence within them before the Holocaust. As such, these volumes do present us with unique information on communities that might not have been covered in any Yizkor book and hence, their importance to us. I have pleased to see that more and more people are taking interest in these volumes and if you are contemplating in sponsoring or translating any of the articles >from these encyclopedias, please contact me and I will assist in facilitating their translation. Now to facts and figures for October. During this last month we have added in 2 new projects: - Miechow, Charsznica & Ksiaz, Poland (Miechov Memorial Book, Charsznica and Ksiaz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miechow/Miechow.html - "Tales of my first life 1923-1946" by Yochanan Dvir http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dvir/Dvir.html Added in 10 new entries: - Krasnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179a.html - Krichil'sk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179d.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179e.html - Krupets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179b.html - Krymno, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179c.html - Podlesnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00150.html - Shatsk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206a.html - Shums'k, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206b.html - Vishnevets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081b.html - Vyshgorodok, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081.html We have continued to update 27 of our existing projects: - Bender, Moldova (Bendery Community Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bender/Bender.html - Ciechanowiec, Poland (Ciechanoviec-Bialystok District;

As with quite a few of my recent Yizkor Book Project reports, once again, I am able to announce the very gratifying news that yet another Yizkor Book has now been completely translated and appears online. This time the project which has reached this lofty goal is: Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) which was adeptly coordinated by Allan Mantel and the riveting translations it contains were prepared by Asher Szmulewicz and Gloria Berkenstat Freund. Kudos to you all! I was going to categorize what happened in the Yizkor Book Project during October as the "Ukrainian Invasion" but realized that the term has already been used... The reason I wanted to emphasize Ukraine is because I wanted to point out the very large number of updates made relating to Ukrainian communities during this past month. In particular ten new entries were added from the Pinkas Hakehillot Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities inPoland) for Ukrainian communities and I wish to thank Ron Doctor, Ellen Garshick and the Kremenets District Research Group for being the driving forces behind this welcome initiative. For those of you who aren't familiar, the Yad Vashem museum in Israel published a very large series of Pinkas Hakehillot (community encyclopedias) presenting details of a huge number of communities which had a large or small Jewish presence within them before the Holocaust. As such, these volumes do present us with unique information on communities that might not have been covered in any Yizkor book and hence, their importance to us. I have pleased to see that more and more people are taking interest in these volumes and if you are contemplating in sponsoring or translating any of the articles >from these encyclopedias, please contact me and I will assist in facilitating their translation. Now to facts and figures for October. During this last month we have added in 2 new projects: - Miechow, Charsznica & Ksiaz, Poland (Miechov Memorial Book, Charsznica and Ksiaz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miechow/Miechow.html - "Tales of my first life 1923-1946" by Yochanan Dvir http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dvir/Dvir.html Added in 10 new entries: - Krasnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179a.html - Krichil'sk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179d.html - Kremenets', Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179e.html - Krupets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179b.html - Krymno, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00179c.html - Podlesnoye, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00150.html - Shatsk, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206a.html - Shums'k, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00206b.html - Vishnevets, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081b.html - Vyshgorodok, Ukraine (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland, Volume V) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol5_00081.html We have continued to update 27 of our existing projects: - Bender, Moldova (Bendery Community Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bender/Bender.html - Ciechanowiec, Poland (Ciechanoviec-Bialystok District;

Shalom,
As with quite a few of my recent Yizkor Book Project reports, once again, I am able to announce the very gratifying news that yet another Yizkor Book has now been completely translated and appears online. This time the project which has reached this lofty goal is: Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) which was adeptly coordinated by Allan Mantel and the riveting translations it contains were prepared by Asher Szmulewicz and Gloria Berkenstat Freund.
