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

Donations for Oradea Burial Records Project
#romania
Roger Adler
Dear Siggers:
The photographing of the Velenta Cemetery gravestones is progressing. We have photographed about 400 new readable stones which should come online soon. The western section of the cemetery should be completed this year and perhaps we can start on the eastern section as well. If you have not yet donated to this project please consider doing so. Remember we are supplying geocoded coordinates for each grave so when a descendant visits the cemetery to view his ancestor's stone, he or she can easily find it by their phone. To donate: Go to JewishGen homepage Click on DONATE Under the Special JewishGen Projects click on Hungarian Sig or Romanian Sig under the Project column please type in the Oradea Romania Burial Records the amount you wish to donate. Thanks to everyone who has already donated and those who intend to do so. Roger Adler Coordinator of the Oradea Burial Records Project San Antonio, Texas

Included are also signatures >from business organizations, religious authorities, and government branches and administrative departments. The Collection of 111 volumes is organized for easy viewing (browsing) with links direct to the digital archive. You can browse the signatures to see who attended schools in your town. To access go to https://www.loc.gov/collections/polish-declarations/ and scroll down till you find the volume your town is in. Keep in mind many Galician towns now in the Ukraine, were in Poland in 1926. For instance: Augustow-Bedzin; Volume 14 images at https://www.loc.gov/item/pldec.014/ Bedzin-Bielsko; Volume 15 Gniew-Gorlice; Volume 26 images at https://www.loc.gov/item/pldec.026/ Jarocin-Jaslo; Volume 33 Kepno-Kielce; Volume 36 Kozienice-Krakow; Volume 44 Mlawa-Nadworna; Volume 55 Plock-Poznan; Volume 64 Rohatyn Volume 70 images at https://www.loc.gov/resource/pldec.070/?sp=55 Rzeszow-Sanok; Volume 72 Stryj-Strzyow; Volume 78 President of the Polish Republic and other officials and representatives of state and municipal institutions, social organizations, and religious bodies; Volume 1 Government Dental Institute of Warsaw; Volume 5; at www.loc.gov/item/pldec.005/ Thanks to Jay and Marla Osborn for the original writeup for Rohatyn, which you can find on their page http://rohatynjewishheritage.org/en/history/1926-polish-declarations/ Happy hunting!
