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

LitvakSIG has had another year of growth with a focus on releasing the
Vilnius Household Registers (VHR). Data continues to be made available in batches, and the batch preview will allow you to determine if a particular batch is of interest to you. For more detailed information about the registers and our project please check out the LitvakSIG website (https://www.litvaksig.org/research/special-projects/vilnius-househ= old-registers). To date there are approximately 35,000 lines available with the latest batch release. Please remember that this information may help you find mention of relatives who lived elsewhere and traveled to Vilnius or were headed elsewhere and stopped in Vilnius along the way. Obeliai Questionnaires - Because Jews, as a group, were suspected of disloyalty to the Russian Empire, they were hastily thrown out of western Kovno gubernia in May of 1915 as WWI came to Lithuania and the Germans attacked >from East Prussia. Most were sent to interior Russia. After the war, tens of thousands of the surviving displaced Lithuanian Jews tried to return to Lithuania, almost all of them passing through the frontier quarantine station in the tiny town of Obeliai. This was, for all practical purposes, the only route back >from Russia. In Obeliai, each returnee (or family head) filled out a questionnaire indicating where they intended to go if readmitted to Lithuania and includes significant personal details about each family member such as the date and place of birth, maiden name, father's name, etc. Many of these questionnaires have been preserved in the LCVA. We are pleased to present these records. The total number of records is unknown; as we translate more records, they will be appended to the existing spreadsheet. An additional release is expected shortly. In addition to the VHR LitvakSIG has released many other databases. Our thanks to Russ Maurer, Dorothy Leivers and all of the volunteers who spend hours preparing the databases for us. A year ago we spoke of an upcoming member benefit. We're ready to give you a peek! In the Members section of the LitvakSIG website you will notice the headings: LitvakSIG Business, Resource Library, Maps, Member List, News - and then three lines. When you click there you will find another tab, Videos of Interest to LitvakSIG members or https://donors.litvaksig.org/site/members/litvaksig-video-files-links. We have started gathering videos and audio recordings that you may find of interest. There are many interesting resources for all researching family in Lithuania in the Members Section, available to all dues-paying members of LitvakSIG. Take some time to check it out. In the coming year we hope that many of you will be at the IAJGS Conference in San Diego, CA August 9-14, 2020. We have already begun planning the programming for this conference. The IAJGS Conference presents a wonderful opportunity to connect and learn together.

Re: [Where was] Mahlhof ? Is it perhaps Mielno (Chodecz)?
#germany
Peter Lobbenberg
Dear Alex-
I believe "Mahlhof" is a corruption or mis-spelling of "Malhof", which a Google search suggests is in turn a corruption of - or perhaps another name for - Malchow. See e.g. https://tinyurl.com/wu6hljp Malchow was a sub-camp of Ravensbrueck (u umlaut), the notorious women's concentration camp, and was based in the town of Malchow in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern. It seems that there were death marches both to and >from Malchow. The camp has its own English Wikipedia entry. There were sections for both men and women. It was liberated by the Red Army on 2 May 1945 but, according to a local school project in 2010, "Teilweise wohnten die ehemaligen Haeftlinge nach der Befreiung bei Malchowern und baten um Verpflegung und Kleidung" (loosely: After liberation, some of the former inmates stayed on with local inhabitants and [were provided with] food and clothing"). https://tinyurl.com/szxrz8j Best wishes, Peter Lobbenberg, London, UK peterlob@peterlob.co.uk Alex Magosci awmjr@magocsi.org wrote: On the residency registration form (Meldekarte der Stadt Passau, September, 1945), it indicates that a former Hungarian Forced Laborer had arrived from Mahlhof.I am looking for the current location of Mahlhof which I believe could be in Poland, or, at the time of his release, is assumed to have been in the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ). He had been taken prisoner by the Soviet Army. Is it perhaps Mielno (Chodecz)? If not, is anyone familiar with Mahlhof >from whence former laborers were released?

Mina Jacobowsky Simon
#poland
kay@...
Several years ago, I posted a request about this person and received a
few answers, so am posting again. My g-g-grandmothr Mina JACOBOWSKY arrived in the US around 1850-1851. She gave birth to Henry SIMON in New Orleans in 1862 and his birth record indicates that her maiden name was Jacobowsky. We believe that she was born in Prussia between about 1819 and 1825. We also know that she came to the US with two childrenm Bertha born 1847 and Hannah born 1848 and her husband Bernard or Benjamin Simon. The family originally thought that she died in Springfield near Fort Parker in Limestone, Co Texas in an area where we knew the family lived. But that could not be proven and we were given information about a tombstone in New Orleans for a woman of the same name buried there in the Hebrew Rest Cemetery on September 23 1862. However, this woman, according to the Hebrew translation I received, died childless and this is not true of my g-g- grandmother. We also know that there were two other Jacobowsky-i or similar spelling in early Mississippi. John D Jacobowsky lived in Pike, Co before the Civil War and in New York after and a Jacobowsky woman married a Hart there. I am hoping to find information that might connect these families and perhaps find a family in Europe with a similar name that had children who left between 1840 and 1855. Kay Goldman Searching families SIMON, LAVINE, HART, WOLFF all lived in Mississippi, and Louisiana and then Texas prior to the Civil War.
