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: newbie questions

Laurie, you need the y DNA test >from FTDNA for one male member
of each family to prove a common patriarchal for the pair. It will provide numbers for each location with the sum of the differences for each location (assuming a common haplogroup) providing an estimate of the number of generations since the common sire lived. Surname projects are less useful for Ashkenazim as most names were adopted relatively recently. I, personally, have 50 different surnames sharing a common paternal ancestor with me who lived about 600 years ago. Both Family Finder (at FTDNA) and Relative Finder (at 23&Me) use the same chip with similar computer processing to extract data on autosomal dna to identify cousins on other family lines. The latter also computes health, mtdna, and y haplogroup data from the test while the former does not. As was suggested,getting the 23&Me test and then transferring the data to FTDNA might make sense. sam vass Kent, WA On Feb 10, 2013, Laurie Budgar wrote: I've been researching my genealogy for years, but have notyet used a DNA test, and have lots of very basic questions about them: --I'm hoping to confirm a relationship between my family(BUDGAR) and another family (BUDGOR).

FamilyTreeDNA related questions
#dna
Chaim Caran <chaimcaran@...>
For some reason the DNA FAQ for already answered questions is no longer to
be found at the written site, so I might repeat some questions. In my researches about Frisian Jewry (The Netherlands) I found that two Levite families with different familynames were most probably one and the same family that took different familynames in napoleontic times. I got permission >from male descendants >from both families to do a DNA check . I ordered two sets of tests at FamilyTreeDNA for the Y chromosome test . It appeared that the tests could only be sent to the test person himself (although I payed) , and I saw no possibility in the order form to get the test results as a researcher as well. I let the tests send to one of the participants in Holland (I live in Israel) , who delivered it also to the second person. They both send, after testing, the test to FamilyTreeDNA. This all happened in November 2012. So far , non of us have received any results . Is it normal that results come in only after more then two months ? Because the two families have different names , they will not be identified immediatly because of a similar family name , so I registerd them as LEVY-FAMILY A-FAMILY B. Only later I noticed that there are also special tests for checking related families. I ordered only two seperate Y tests. When we get the results , will there be also the possibility to compare with other families like in the family relate tests? Do the family relate test have also 2 sets in its package ? Is the price of those packages for one set or for 2 sets? The two supposed brothers who took different family names were born around 1730, 10-11 generations ago. In case they were indeed brothers , how much difference because of mutations can be expected, and how can I see this in the test results? How much should they have in common at least ? Chaim Caran

DANNENBERG, Nechemia-Tel-Aviv 1930-1950?
#general
Yonatan Ben-Ari
I recently received a document listing several people who were members of the
Charedi Association of Tel-Aviv sometime during the years 1930-1950. As the list was handwritten, besides my grandfather's name, of the few other names legible was a Nechemia Dannenberg (the list is in Hebrew so the english spelling may be different). My interest in the Dannenberg family is that one of my wife's best friends when she was single was a Naava Rabina, >from her maternal side a Dannenberg,(connected to the Matzot manufacturers) and also >from Tel-Aviv. I'd be happy to hear >from Nechemia DANNENBERG's family to know more about the above association and to know what connection if any they have with Naava. Thank you Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem

Bukovina business directory, 1907-1913
#romania
Logan Kleinwaks
I am pleased to announce that Bukovina is included in a business
directory (with Galicia) dated 1907-1913 that is now searchable and viewable at http://genealogyindexer.org. This is volume 19b of the 10th edition of Leuchs' "Adressbuch aller Laender der Erde der Kaufleute, Fabrikanten, Gewerbtreibenden, Gutsbesitzer, ..." The directory is included in all searches by default. You can restrict searches to it, excluding other directories, by appending {d667} to your search term (e.g., Lichtbach {d667}). The directory is organized mostly by town. To find a town's section (rather than searching by surname), you can use the town index beginning at http://genealogyindexer.org/view/190713Leuchs19b/681. The numbers next to the town names are the printed page numbers, to which you should add 20 to get approximately the corresponding image number in the online presentation. You can jump to image number X with the URL http://genealogyindexer.org/view/190713Leuchs19b/X. If you do not see your town, go forward or backward using the numerical "Image" links in the top middle of the page. Alternatively, you can often find a town's section by using the town's name as your search term (with {d667}). Please note that the date 1907-1913 printed on the title page might refer to the range of publication dates across all volumes of this edition, and not the time period in which information was collected for this particular volume. If you know more precisely the date of publication or compilation of this volume, please contact me. It is not apparent to me >from the directory itself, unlike some other editions. Possibly, this is clarified in the first volume, which is not online. This directory is available only because an anonymous donor paid for its digitization by the Moravian Library in Brno through the eBooks on Demand program (http://books2ebooks.eu), and then provided me with the images. While the donor does not wish to be publicly acknowledged, I am sure that many of us will be grateful for this generous gift. Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@alumni.princeton.edu near Washington, D.C.

In case they were indeed brothers , how much difference because of mutations can be expected, and how can I see this in the test results? How much should they have in common at least ? Chaim Caran

JewishGen Discussion Group #JewishGen DANNENBERG, Nechemia-Tel-Aviv 1930-1950?
#general
Yonatan Ben-Ari
I recently received a document listing several people who were members of the
Charedi Association of Tel-Aviv sometime during the years 1930-1950. As the list was handwritten, besides my grandfather's name, of the few other names legible was a Nechemia Dannenberg (the list is in Hebrew so the english spelling may be different). My interest in the Dannenberg family is that one of my wife's best friends when she was single was a Naava Rabina, >from her maternal side a Dannenberg,(connected to the Matzot manufacturers) and also >from Tel-Aviv. I'd be happy to hear >from Nechemia DANNENBERG's family to know more about the above association and to know what connection if any they have with Naava. Thank you Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem

Romania SIG #Romania Bukovina business directory, 1907-1913
#romania
Logan Kleinwaks
I am pleased to announce that Bukovina is included in a business
directory (with Galicia) dated 1907-1913 that is now searchable and viewable at http://genealogyindexer.org. This is volume 19b of the 10th edition of Leuchs' "Adressbuch aller Laender der Erde der Kaufleute, Fabrikanten, Gewerbtreibenden, Gutsbesitzer, ..." The directory is included in all searches by default. You can restrict searches to it, excluding other directories, by appending {d667} to your search term (e.g., Lichtbach {d667}). The directory is organized mostly by town. To find a town's section (rather than searching by surname), you can use the town index beginning at http://genealogyindexer.org/view/190713Leuchs19b/681. The numbers next to the town names are the printed page numbers, to which you should add 20 to get approximately the corresponding image number in the online presentation. You can jump to image number X with the URL http://genealogyindexer.org/view/190713Leuchs19b/X. If you do not see your town, go forward or backward using the numerical "Image" links in the top middle of the page. Alternatively, you can often find a town's section by using the town's name as your search term (with {d667}). Please note that the date 1907-1913 printed on the title page might refer to the range of publication dates across all volumes of this edition, and not the time period in which information was collected for this particular volume. If you know more precisely the date of publication or compilation of this volume, please contact me. It is not apparent to me >from the directory itself, unlike some other editions. Possibly, this is clarified in the first volume, which is not online. This directory is available only because an anonymous donor paid for its digitization by the Moravian Library in Brno through the eBooks on Demand program (http://books2ebooks.eu), and then provided me with the images. While the donor does not wish to be publicly acknowledged, I am sure that many of us will be grateful for this generous gift. Logan Kleinwaks kleinwaks@alumni.princeton.edu near Washington, D.C.
