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: Modezarhely

H-Siggers,
Following up on Ron Wasserstrom inquiry about the Hungarian town "Modezarhely" and Tom Klein's answer, along with Vivian Kahn's comments: This is a very strange, seemingly impossible situation: I found two ship lists for this Weisz family, one for the Pennsylvania sailing >from Hamburg 7 Nov 1913 and arriving in New York on 21 Nov. The other for the Amerika sailing >from Cuxhaven 6 Nov 1913 and arriving in New York on 15 Nov. But both lists have the same family, same names, same ages, coming >from the same person and going to the same person and address. The list on the Amerika gives better place names: I think it is Udvasarhely and 5 other birth places. Does anyone have any idea how the same family could be on two different ship lists at the same time? Hamburg is inland and Cuxhaven is a seaport. I could see taking one ship >from Hamburg to Cuxhaven then another to New York. But the Hamburg date is after the Cuxhaven date, so that idea does not seem to work. What are your thoughts? I have posted the ship list images in ViewMate as follows: (also please see if you can read the town names to help out Ron) 1st page SS Amerika >from Cuxhaven 6 Nov 1913 - 13 Nov: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM75351 2nd page SS Amerika >from Cuxhaven 6 Nov 1913 - 13 Nov: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM75352 1st page SS Pennsylvania >from Hamburg 7 Nov 1913 - 21 Nov: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM75353 2nd page SS Pennsylvania >from Hamburg 7 Nov 1913 - 21 Nov: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM75354 Thanks, Larry Bassist USA On September 24, 2019 at 8:32 AM "Thomas Klein tomk@..." <h-sig@...> wrote: [h-sig] Grandmother's hometown Modezarhely?

New University Records on the All Galicia Database
#poland
Gesher Galicia SIG
Gesher Galicia is pleased to announce the addition of new records to
our open-access database: https://search.geshergalicia.org/ This communication refers to the Jewish Medical Students Project, which brings records and biographical information on Galician students who attended several universities in Austria-Hungary and in the successor states (post 1918). New records added to the AGD include the following: -- Lwow University (1919-1939) >from the State Archive of Lviv Oblast (DALO, Fond 26/section 15; Ukraine) -- Prague University: German and Czech universities (1882-1939) from the Charles University Archive (the Czech Republic). In total about 3,500 records of Jewish medical students and midwives have been indexed to date. Earlier uploads included records >from the following universities: -- Jagiellonian University (1802-1918) -- Lwow University (1894-1918) -- Pest University (1770-1921) In addition to the Gesher Galicia database (free access), members of Gesher Galicia can examine the expanded information on Jewish students (regarding parents and their occupations, places of medical practice, Holocaust-related, etc.) after login via the Members Portal: https://www.geshergalicia.org/login/ in the Archival Records. We welcome receiving additional biographical details and the records on Jewish medical students found in our database. To that end, please contact us at: info@.... In 2020 we plan to add additional indexes >from Jagiellonian University (1919-1939), with the records >from other universities to follow.
