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

Jeff Miller
In anticipation of traveling to Warsaw, Poland, to attend the =
International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies 38th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy in August 2018, and of my desire to make = a roots trip to the sites of my heritage, I hired Ancestry Pro = Genealogists in October 2017 to research my Jewish ancestry in Poland [although I've = been researching my Jewish ancestry for 20 years, and have found many records = and connections with possible ties to my family ancestry, I had been able to confirm relatively few of my findings as being tied to my family tree]. In July, 2018, on month prior to the planned start of the IAJGS = Conference, I received the following message >from the Ancestry Pro Genealogist = Research Team Manager: Although we have not yet found records in Europe for your = great-grandmother, Perl, we have found some incredible information about the family - we = have the death records of Herszek Berkowicz Burzy=F1ski and Ma=B3ka Abramowna Cymerman, your 2x great-grandparents and their 1845 marriage records. = We know >from these records that Ma=B3ka was born in Drogoszewo, Miastkowo, = =A3om=BFa, Russian Empire and died in Nowogr=F3d, =A3om=BFa, =A3om=BFa, Russian = Empire [today, Gmina Nowogr=F3d is in County =A3om=BFa , Volvodeship Podlaskie, in = Country Poland] Herszek was born in W=B1sosz, Szczuczyn, =A3om=BFa, Russian = Empire and died in Rydzewo, Miastkowo, =A3om=BFa, Russian Empire. It took quite a bit of effort in a short timeframe to locate and engage = a travel firm in Poland that would take me on a roots trip to the specific locations of interest to my genealogy. I found TRAVPOL and guide Andrzej Puchacz who picked me up in Warsaw at my hotel on our agreed-upon time = and date. On our travel northeast >from Warsaw, Andrzej inquired of passersby (local citizens) about places of Jewish cemeteries for my 2x great grandparents Herszek Berkowicz Burzynski and Malka Cymerman. Andrzej = learned from querying a random person along the highway that the cemetery place =in the area is located in Nowogr=F3d. When we went to Nowogr=F3d, again = Andrzej queried local citizens and found out the location for the cemetery. It = was unmarked and inaccessible- but that didn't stop us. We climbed up a = steep incline through weeds and made our way to an area with 18 headstones. Inscriptions were often worn away or obscured by weeds, but we did our = best to clear away some weeds and each of us took digital photographs. These = may shed further light on my ancestry.=20 I have since learned that the Jewish population of Nowogr=F3d in 1765 = was 26 and the Jewish cemetery in Nowogr=F3d was created about 1778. Between = 1860 and 1908, nearly half of the general population of Nowogr=F3d was comprised = of Jews. The cemetery is located on a hill, at the end of Poleglych Street. As a result of the damage sustained after World War II and after the = liberation, the cemetery was devoid of tombstones. The Lauder Foundation in 2005 = brought one tombstone to the cemetery, and in 2007 more tombstones were brought = from the foundations of nearby buildings. Additional tombstones are kept in = the Open-Air Museum in Nowogr=F3d.=20 I have taken it upon myself to create a project for restoration of the Jewish cemetery in Nowogr=F3d, and made contacts with key players in = Poland and elsewhere to help me advance this initiative. FOD=AF (Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland) = Director Piotr Puchta and I have agreed on a list of items for prioritizing in = the fund-raising, and a target goal has been set for the costs of doing such work. YOUR HELP IS URGENTLY NEEDED FOR THIS MOST WORTHWHILE PROJECT. Dan Oren, President of Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland, has set up = a fund-raising page for the Nowogr=F3d Jewish cemetery on the Friends of = Jewish Heritage in Poland website.

Call for Proposals - IAJGS Conference in San Diego
#ciechanow
#poland
The IAJGS 2020 San Diego Conference is delighted to announce that the
Call for Proposals is now open! Deadline will be Wednesday, November 27, 2019! If you wish to be considered as a speaker for this important conference on Jewish Genealogy, please go to our website at: www.iajgs2020.org and read our Call for Proposals to begin the submission process. While covering all the major Jewish Genealogy topics that you've come to rely on the IAJGS conferences for, we will also be looking for proposed presentations which focus on the following hot topics: 1) A "Beginners" track for those who have never attended an IAJGS conference before and who may or may not consider themselves new to Jewish genealogy. 2) A "DNA" track to help all of us become better acquainted with the immense insight that DNA is adding to the field of genealogy. 3) A "Heritage" track to help provide cultural context that both inspires and enhances our genealogical explorations. 4) A "Shoah" track specifically to honor the memory of those who were lost in the calamity of World War II. 5) A "Military" track -- With the US Naval Base San Diego just a few blocks >from our convention, we hope to offer sessions which will recognize military angles to Jewish genealogy, both >from the USA and the rest of the world. 6) A "Latin America" track – Recognizing San Diego's proximity to Central and South America and the need to find and understand our relatives who live or lived south of the border. All other subjects related to Jewish Genealogy and Genealogy in general, will, of course, be considered. See our web page at www.iajgs2020.org for more information. Write to speakerhelp@... or program@... for answers to questions about the submittal. Best of luck >from all of us - and thank you!
