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

Can you connect me with the people that have more info about the Svir community in those days ? Where svir is located right now ? (which country?) and do you know if there is something still there ? (synagogue, houses, graves) Efraim... that's what JewishGen is all about... and why we have a database of 6,500 towns which had Jewish populations around 1900. Please go to our Community search and put in Svir: http://www.JewishGen.org/Communities/search.asp There you will find many answers to your questions about the town (today Svir in Belarus), -- its history, -- its governments, -- its current location and details... -- nearby Jewish Communities (important because marriages were most often arranged between neighboring towns)... follow all the links, especially the -- KehilaLinks page (a page about the town written by a 'genner), -- the Belarus country database (where you should query your surnames), --the JewishGen Family Finder (where there are 62 surnames which our 'genners are researching...and do add your surname to it, so that others can find you!) Sounds like just what you've been seeking...and Isn't JewishGen wonderful! Phyllis Kramer, NYC & Palm Beach Gardens, FL VP, Education, www.JewishGen.org/education

Yizkor Book Project, April 2014
#ukraine
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
It is sometimes quite amazing what can be done with the days and hours in a month and quite a few dedicated volunteers. The results of their labor within the Yizkor Book Project is listed below, and continues as we "speak". Although I frequently note our volunteers (well, at least try to), I should really point out that a great deal of translations are carried out by our very professional paid translators. Whilst I prefer not to list them here for fear of forgetting someone, you'll see their names appear frequently in the translations appearing in the Yizkor Book site and I for one, am very grateful for the excellent work they do within our project. As you may be aware, their payment comes >from the kind donations of people wishing to make sure that the contents of the Yizkor books are made readily available to those of us who don't read Yiddish and/or Hebrew, and will be available for the present and generations to come. If this way of immortalizing our lost communities is important to you, we welcome your donations to one of our many projects which can be found at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/PL.asp?c=23 If the Yizkor book for the community of your interest has yet to be set up as a project, please contact me and we'll see how we can get such a project moving.

Yizkor Book Project, April 2014
#unitedkingdom
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
It is sometimes quite amazing what can be done with the days and hours in a month and quite a few dedicated volunteers. The results of their labor within the Yizkor Book Project is listed below, and continues as we "speak". Although I frequently note our volunteers (well, at least try to), I should really point out that a great deal of translations are carried out by our very professional paid translators. Whilst I prefer not to list them here for fear of forgetting someone, you'll see their names appear frequently in the translations appearing in the Yizkor Book site and I for one, am very grateful for the excellent work they do within our project. As you may be aware, their payment comes >from the kind donations of people wishing to make sure that the contents of the Yizkor books are made readily available to those of us who don't read Yiddish and/or Hebrew, and will be available for the present and generations to come. If this way of immortalizing our lost communities is important to you, we welcome your donations to one of our many projects which can be found at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/PL.asp?c=23 If the Yizkor book for the community of your interest has yet to be set up as a project, please contact me and we'll see how we can get such a project moving.

Yizkor Book Project, April 2014
#subcarpathia
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
It is sometimes quite amazing what can be done with the days and hours in a month and quite a few dedicated volunteers. The results of their labor within the Yizkor Book Project is listed below, and continues as we "speak". Although I frequently note our volunteers (well, at least try to), I should really point out that a great deal of translations are carried out by our very professional paid translators. Whilst I prefer not to list them here for fear of forgetting someone, you'll see their names appear frequently in the translations appearing in the Yizkor Book site and I for one, am very grateful for the excellent work they do within our project. As you may be aware, their payment comes >from the kind donations of people wishing to make sure that the contents of the Yizkor books are made readily available to those of us who don't read Yiddish and/or Hebrew, and will be available for the present and generations to come. If this way of immortalizing our lost communities is important to you, we welcome your donations to one of our many projects which can be found at: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/PL.asp?c=23 If the Yizkor book for the community of your interest has yet to be set up as a project, please contact me and we'll see how we can get such a project moving. Now to facts and figures for April. During this last month we have added in 2 new projects: - Jaunjelgava, Latvia (Jaunjelgava Jewish Citizens Fascist Victims List, 1941) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Jaunjelgava/Jaunjelgava.html - Siedlce, Poland (The Jews in Siedlce 1850-1945) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Siedlce3/Siedlce3.html Added in 3 new entries: - Luze, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh394.html - Pabrade, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Svencionys/sve1371.html - Protivin, Czech Republic (The Jews and Jewish Communities of Bohemia in the past and present) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bohemia/boh512.html We have continued to update 32 of our existing projects: - Babruysk, Belarus (Memorial book of the community of Bobruisk and its surroundings) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bobruisk/bysktoc1.html - Bessarabia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00299.html - Bialystok, Poland (The chronicle of Bialystok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bialystok/Bialystok.html - Brest, Belarus (Brest Lit(owsk) Volume II: The Encyclopaedia of the Jewish Diaspora) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/brest2/brest2.html - Bukovina (Region) (History of the Jews in the Bukovina) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bukowinabook/bukowina.html - Chelm, Poland (Commemoration book Chelm) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/chelm/chelm.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Czyzew, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dubasari, Moldova (Dubossary Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Dubossary/Dubossary.html - Dynow, Poland (The Memorial Book of Jewish Dinov) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dynow1/dynow1.html - Golub-Dobrzyn, Poland (In Memory of the Communities Dobrzyn-Gollob) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/golub_dobrzyn/golub_dobrzyn.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Gostynin, Poland (Book of Gostynin) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Gostynin/Gostynin.html - Jewish Music in Poland between the World Wars http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/musicians/musicians.html - Karelichy, Belarus (Korelitz; the life and destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/korelicze/korelicze.html - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kozienice, Poland (The book of Kozienice; The birth and the destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kozienice/kozienice.html - Krasnik, Poland (Book of Krasnik) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/krasnik/krasnik.html - Kurenets, Belarus (The scroll of Kurzeniac) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kurenets/kurenets.html - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Lithuania (Lite) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lita/lita.html - Molchad, Belarus (Molchadz, In Memory of the Jewish Community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Molchadz/Molchadz.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Radzivilov, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Radzivilov) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Radzivilov/Radzivilov.html - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ludvipol/Ludvipol.html - Stowbtsy, Belarus (Memorial volume of Steibtz-Swerznie and the neighboring villages Rubezhevitz, Derevna, Nalibok) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Stowbtsy/Stowbtsy.html - Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stryj2/stryj2.html - Svencionys, Lithuania (Svintzian region: memorial book of 23 communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/svencionys/svencionys.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Wasilkow, Poland (The Wasilkower memorial book; memories of our town Wasilkow which has been annihilated by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wasilkow/Wasilkow.html - Wolomin, Poland (Volomin; a memorial to the Jewish community of Volomin) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/wolomin/wolomin.html - Zolochiv, Ukraine (The Destruction of Zloczow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zolochiv/Zolochiv.html Some important links to note: * This month's additions and updates are flagged at: http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. * All you would like to know about JewishGen's "Yizkor Books in Print Project": http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html * Yizkor Book Translation Funds: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/PL.asp?c=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Treuchtlingen Friedhof

Hi GerSIG Friends,
Are there photos online of the graves in the Treuchtlingen Jewish Cemetery? I have looked and looked online and found at one time a photo of a group of anonymous graves. There is also one on Alemannia Judaica that is not labeled. But I have never seen any labeled ones. I have someone >from Markt Berolzheim who is going to try to go to the cemetery some day soon, but if the names are in Hebrew I'll be out of luck. Thank you so very much. * All the best, Lin Herz, Palm Bay, Florida n2@cfl.rr.com *Please thank those who help you and support ViewMate, JewishGen and GerSIG http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/Honors/ http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/honors.asp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
