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

Re: Ellis Isla
#hungary
SHINBET8@...
Jordan,
some days ago, you listed info on the Ellis Island Foundation as it was a going conern with genealogy info. As I have been to Ellis Island, a while back, and had made a generous contribution to the Islands Wall of Honor, in order to have my mother's and grandparent's names to appear. While there, I noticed some names on wall , similar to our family. I punched in the name, and up came the individual who made the contribuion and the city they are located in. Currently, Ellis Island organization is trying to obtain substantial funds to start a data base of those you made a contribution, however, what that data base may entail is unknown to me.

Where are the archives?
#hungary
The2thdkdr@...
My paternal grandfather comes >from Varanno (now Vranov, Slovakia). This is in
Zemplen County. I have checked the LDS catalog and so far they have only listed birth records for his town and province. I am interested in marriage records and death records as well. Perhaps LDS has not yet microfilmed all the records that are in existence. I am thinking of taking a trip to Slovakia this September. Would anyone know where the vital records of Vranov are located? Would they be in the town or is there a county archive? Secondly, my paternal grandmother is of Hungarian Jewish ancestry as well. I have yet to locate her town of origination. It is most likely she comes from one of the northeast counties , i.e. Zemplen, Saros, or Ung. Does anyone know where the archives for Saros County and Ung County are located?

The Journey to Vaja

Hello all!
The Journey to Vaja Elaine Naves When the World was Whole Charles Fenyvesi Two remarkable books, two remarkable authors! Here is one remarkable question: Never mind that these two authors are cousins and certainly interested in Hungarian genealogy, the question is why are they not in our discussion group? The following could be old news in August 1998, however when The Journey to Vaja was published, Elaine had missed people that Charles had on his version of the family tree. Is anyone in contact with Elaine? She might just discover a whole bunch of new relatives including live ones!

Only in Hungary
#hungary
ALEX M P MILLER <alexm6@...>
Hello all!
Gotta hear this! I visited a relative in New York (father's side). In my photo album she saw a picture of my grandmother (>from my mother's side) that got her very excited as she claimed that that person looks familiar. To claim knowledge of an unrelated woman, >from a different village, after 55 years, sounded to me like a good story to cap off a long day. Yet she was adamant and explained to me that she commuted on a local train in Hungary in 1943 with a particular woman that was carrying geese to the market. Since she had more geese than allowed on the train my relative shared the load. This woman and the one in my picture just looked too much the same. Did you guess? It turned out to be true and I found a lead on the Roth family that I had absolutely no information on.

As I have been to Ellis Island, a while back, and had made a generous contribution to the Islands Wall of Honor, in order to have my mother's and grandparent's names to appear. While there, I noticed some names on wall , similar to our family. I punched in the name, and up came the individual who made the contribuion and the city they are located in. Currently, Ellis Island organization is trying to obtain substantial funds to start a data base of those you made a contribution, however, what that data base may entail is unknown to me.
