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

Yizkor Book Project, January 2019
#latinamerica
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I am continually touched and heartened by the number of people dedicating their time to advance the Yizkor Book Project. As an example, I recently received a number of messages >from people interested in taking on the coordination of some of our "coordinator-less" Yizkor Book projects, to help move them forward. If you would like to know more about the coordination of a particular Yizkor book, please feel free to contact me and I will explain what is involved, Last month saw several more projects being completed online and they were: - "Memories >from Nowy-Dwor" relating to the community of Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland which was ably coordinated by Debra Michlewitz. - "We Want To Live" which is a book describing the arduous journey of Jewish martyrs across Europe during World War Two. It was kindly donated to us by the author's son - Joshua Rassen. On a further welcome note, once again, the Yizkor Books in Print Project have published another book: "Memorial Book of the Community of Chorzel" on the community of Chorzele, Poland. The remarkable work of the YBIP Project team continues ever onward, month by month. I am also pleased to note that Meir Gover has generously allowed us access to a 520 page Yizkor book he has prepared on the communities of Dlugosiodlo and Poreba Koceby. We have added links in the listings of these communities and, hence this book, in our Translations Index. And now for the additions and updates are what we've carried out during January: We have added in 8 new entries: - Gaveikenai, Lithuania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VIII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00195.html - Girkalnis, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_039.html - Goniadz, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VIII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00195a.html - Griskabudis, Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lit6_052.html - Kaltinenai, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Svencionys/sve1217.html - Nagartava, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/jew267.html - Zabrezh'ye, Belarus (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VIII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00331.html - Zabludow, Poland (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Poland - Volume VIII) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_poland/pol8_00331a.html And we have continued to update 28 of our existing projects: - Balti, Moldova (Balti Bessarabia: a memorial of the Jewish community) www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Balti/Balti.html - Belchatow, Poland (Belchatow memorial book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Belchatow/Belchatow.html - Biala Podlaska, Poland (Book of Biala Podlaska) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Biala_Podlaska/Biala_Podlaska.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland (Book of the Jewish Community of Dabrowa Gornicza and its Destruction) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dabrowa/dabrowa.html - Dubno, Ukraine (Dubno; a Memorial to the Jewish community of Dubno, Wolyn) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dubno/dubno.html - Dzyatlava, Belarus (A memorial to the Jewish community of Zetel) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Dzyatlava/Dzyatlava.html - Jadow, Poland (The Book of Jadow) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/jadow/jadow.html - Jonava, Lithuania (Jonava On the Banks of the Vylia; In memory of the destroyed Jewish community of Jonava) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jonava/Jonava.html - Kamyanyets, Belarus (Memorial Book of Kamenets Litovsk, Zastavye, and Colonies) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kamenets/Kamenets.html - Kherson, Ukraine (Jewish Farmers in Russian Fields) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/JewishFarmers/JewishFarmers.html - Kolomyya, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kolomey) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolomyya/kolomyya.html - Kutno, Poland (Kutno and Surroundings Book) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kutno/kutno.html - Lipcani, Moldova (Lipcan of old) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Lipkany2/lipkany2.html - Lithuania (Preserving Our Litvak Heritage) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lithuania6/lithuania6.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 - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memories >from Nowy-Dwor) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/nowy_dwor1/nowy_dwor1.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 - Sarny, Ukraine (Memorial Book of the Community of Sarny) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/sarny/sarny.html - Smarhon, Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.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 - Turobin, Poland (The Turobin book; in memory of the Jewish community) www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Turobin/Turobin.html - We want to live www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/WantToLive/WantToLive.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.

Looking for research help
#latinamerica
Ruth Kraut <ruthkraut@...>
Hello,
My grandfather went via Vilna-->Allenstein German-->Cuba-->Mexico-->U.S. He was in Mexico >from around 1920 to 1930. I have a record of him crossing into the U.S. in El Paso at the end of 1930, but he is not in the 1930 Mexico census. Anyway, he told us that he landed in Veracruz and (I believe) spent some time there but spent most of his time in the Chihuahua region, working for the national railroad and also on elevators in the mines. (He was a mechanic.) If you have had success doing research in the Chihuahua/Veracruz area, and/or if you have a researcher to recommend who could help me, I would love to hear >from you. General tips for doing research in Mexico, feel free to reply all. Specific information, and researcher recommendations, please reply privately. Thank you!

Re: Y-DNA Research Studies of Rabbinical Lineages and Their Importance to Jewish Genealogy
#rabbinic
For a little over ten years now, my research team and I, have been conducting Y-DNA research studies which utilize both traditional genealogy and current DNA methods and technology to identify the unique Y-DNA genetic signature and ethnic origin of some of the world's most esteemed and historically significant rabbinical lineages and dynasties. These include the Katzenellenbogen, Lurie, Polonsky, Rappaport-Cohen, and Shapiro rabbinical lineages, and the Twersky and Wertheim-Giterman (Savran-Bendery) Chassidic dynasties, as well as the lineages descending >from the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, Rabbi Naftula Cohen of Belaya Tzerkov, Rabbi Raphael of Bershad, Rabbi Yechiel Michel of Zlatchov, Rabbi Yehuda Heller Kahana of Sighet, and the Shpoler Zeida.
I am pleased to announce the posting of a research article in which I explain the importance of rabbinical heritage research studies to the practice of Jewish genealogy, and present an overview and summary of some interesting findings and observations drawn >from our Y-DNA research studies of the thirteen rabbinical lineages and dynasties mentioned above, including the defining haplogroup and subclade that is associated with the Y-DNA genetic signature for each of these lineages. The title of the article is: "Y-DNA Research Studies of Rabbinical Lineages and Their Importance to Jewish Genealogy," and you will find it posted at: https://independent.academia.edu/JeffreyMarkPaull.

I am pleased to announce the posting of a research article in which I explain the importance of rabbinical heritage research studies to the practice of Jewish genealogy, and present an overview and summary of some interesting findings and observations drawn >from our Y-DNA research studies of the thirteen rabbinical lineages and dynasties mentioned above, including the defining haplogroup and subclade that is associated with the Y-DNA genetic signature for each of these lineages. The title of the article is: "Y-DNA Research Studies of Rabbinical Lineages and Their Importance to Jewish Genealogy," and you will find it posted at: https://independent.academia.edu/JeffreyMarkPaull.
