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

I am the family historian for the Gradzanowsky family which derives
from the community of Radzanow N. N. W. of Warsaw, currently in Polandbut before W W I I in Russia Poland or Congress Poland (actually Russia) I believe that there is only one family with this name. Channah Gradzanowska was one of the six children of Abraham Laib Gradzanowsky and Perl Rosenwaks. On July 5th. 1884, Channah Gradzanowska, 20 years old married Mordechai Yosef Kubashki, 19 years old in Radzanow, in the Province of Scieps The groom was the son of Yakov Wulf Kubashki and Genia Kraichak. This couple had the following children, :Eliyahu, Ester, Henoch, Perl, Tsura Gitl, Abraham Laib , Yachael Meyer, Morris Kahn, & Paul. Paul and Morris (he changed his name to Kahn) came to the United States and I am very familiar with their families. I believe that the other siblings were able to get to Israel. My father in law, David Garber, on a visit to Israel visited this family on an Orthodox Kibbutz in the 1950's For some reason, they had an argument and neither branch has heard from each since then.I have had friends and Israeli family members check the Israeli phone books and there appear to be no Kubashkia/Kubashkas in Israel In 1947, in an Israeli name change list, Yakov Kubashka (following Russian naming patters, he probably should have been Kubashki not Kubashka) changed his name to Yakov HaLevy. Does anyone know this probably very observant Israeli family? Joe Fibel New Rochelle, NY

I have the original documents (in German) >from the Lodz ghetto showing the
transport date to Chelmno of my grandparents Szmul Ber Lewin and Sara Lewin nee Wolman and my aunts Chana Laja Lewin and Masza Lewin. The date is down as 4/4/1942.

I have read in Shmuel Krakowski's excellent book "Chelmno - A small village in Europe" that transports >from Lodz to Chelmno were suspended on the 3/2/1942 as the Germans feared rioting in the ghetto. So how to explain my family being sent to Chelmno the day after? Or was the wrong date put down for some reason.

Dear Bernard,

My family also came >from Lodz and died in the Lodz Ghetto, and I have done the same kind of research as you, so to answer your questions: 1. Yes, if they were deported in 1942, then they were deported to Chelmno. About 70,000 Jews >from the Lodz Ghetto were deported to Chelmno between January 1942 and mid-1944. Then when the Germans decided to liquidate the Lodz Ghetto in the middle of 1944 they sent another 65,000 or 70,000 Jews to Auschwitz. Only people deported in July or August 1944 were sent to Auschwitz. 2. To see the original handwritten ghetto lists: these are in the Polish State Archives in Lodz and Yad Vashem has a copy. You can try writing to either of those places and inquiring. The original lists are ordered by street addresses, so give them the addresses as well as the names of the people. Good luck!

Gesher Galicia Luncheon with Agnieszka Holland: "Revisiting the Holocaust through Film: In Darkness & In Light" Tuesday, July 17
#galicia
Pamela Weisberger
Dear Galician Researchers:
If you are attending the IAJGS conference in Paris coming up in a few weeks, but haven't bought your Gesher Galicia luncheon tickets -- now is the time to do so. Our luncheon takes place on Tuesday, July 17, at 12:30 PM and the presentation is entitled: "Revisiting the Holocaust through Film: In Darkness and In Light." Our special speaker will be the accomplished film and television director, Agnieszka Holland. Her most recent film, "In Darkness," was the official 2012 Foreign Language Academy Award nominee for Poland this year and is based on a true story by Robert Marshall in the book, "In the Sewers of Lwow." The action is set in German-occupied Poland during World War II, where a Polish thief hides a group of Jewish refugees, ultimately saving their lives while risking his own. The film will screen at the conference on Monday evening. Ms. Holland will describe the challenges of portraying the Lvov ghetto in 1943 -- and its social-political context -- contrasted with the lives of the story's protagonists. She will also talk about the universal dimension of Holocaust stories: how to achieve accuracy and authenticity -- and avoid sentimentality -- while still making an emotional impact on the audience. Ms. Holland will also discuss her earlier films -- "Europa, Europa," based on the true story of a young German Jew, Solomon Perel, who survived the Holocaust, just after Kristallnacht, by falling in with the Nazis, and her 1985 film (also nominated for Best Foreign Language Film) "Angry Harvest," a German production about a Jewish woman on the run in World War II, and the changes in artistic interpretations of the Holocaust during the 27-year span between her works. Ms. Holland, who was born in Warsaw to a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, both politically active, will also discuss her personal ties to the subject matter. There will be ample time for Q & A. One cannot attend the luncheon talk without buying a ticket for the luncheon. The cost is 29 Euros. No exceptions! To add the luncheon to your existing conference registration, log into the website: http://www.paris2012.eu - and click on "Registration" OR go directly to this page: http://www.paris2012.eu/products And under SIG/BOF heading click on Galicia or scroll down until you reach the Gesher Galicia Luncheon tab. Click on the blue "add to cart" button, then check out, and pay. You will have to log in as an "Existing Customer," at that point, to make sure the luncheon ticket shows up in your bag when you arrive to register, so have your conference registration log-in information handy. This luncheon presentation is not just for Galician, Polish, Ukrainian and Holocaust researchers, but for those curious about the artistic challenges of portraying the true stories of the Shoah on the screen. We look forward to welcoming you to our luncheon. Pamela Weisberger President, Gesher Galicia pweisberger@... (Note: I do not yet know if this luncheon talk will be recorded. It very well may be. Please check the conference website after the conference for that information.)

Re: 1940 Census questions
#general
Joel Weintraub
A question arose yesterday on finding two families in Brooklyn at the same
address but on separate pages on the 1940 census. First, if the researcher had used Google maps, and gone down to a street view, they would have seen the residence in question. Assuming it's the same structure as 1940, you would see it is a duplex. Second, readers should know that the number of pages in a 1940 census district is **not** the same as the sheet numbers. So a census sheet has an "A" and "B" side. Sheet 1A is page 1, Sheet 1B is page 2. But it gets more complicated than that for 1940. Our utilities for finding census districts by location on the stevemorse.org site, correctly gave the right census district for the family the researcher was seeking in Brooklyn. But when they got to that ED (enumeration district) and did not find their family the first time they arrived at the sheet that had that address, they gave up. If they had continued to look through the ED, or better yet, jumped to Sheet 61A and higher, they would have found their family without waiting for a name index. So what is Sheet 61A? The enumerators were given instructions on how to number the sheets. If a family was not at home, they either left a postcard asking for a later appointment or/and left a preliminary blank census sheet to be filled out and the enumerator would pick it up later. The enumerator's instructions were that those followups were to be put on Sheet 61A and higher. In addition, the enumerator on April 8th, 1940 was told to go to areas where transients would be found (hotels, flophouses, Hoovervilles), and those people were put on a labelled Sheet 81A. Thus you could have a situation for an ED that contained 3 sheets (6 pages) and Sheets 1A and 1B could contain the usual first route of the enumerator, the 3rd page could be 61A which contained followups, and the 5th page could contain transients (81A).

ViewMate for Kuriansky or Gross doc
#poland
Jill Williams <jill_64@...>
Hi,
I have posted a Russian birth record on ViewMate for which I need a translation of any names, dates and places. I hope that this is the 1882 Bialystok birth record for my great grandmother Celia Fejga KREINDEL, whose parents were Israel and Sora Kreindel (Americanized version). I'm hoping that a surname is mentioned. I have yet not found her immigration info or any European records. I only know her parents' names and that she was born in or near Bialystok in the early 1880's. I'm hoping that this guess is the correct person. The document is on ViewMate: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=V23292 On this document, her record number is 67 (on the bottom of the page). Please respond via the form provided in the ViewMate application. Thank you very much!
