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

Yizkor Book Project, July 2014
#usa
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
I am pleased to note that in July the Yizkor book Project saw the completion of no fewer than 3 projects, bringing the number of our finalized projects to the outstanding milestone of one hundred such projects. The projects that were completed in July were: - Kamyanyets, Belarus (The People Who Lived Among Us) - prepared and submitted by Sherwin Sokolov - Serock, Poland (The book of Serock) - coordinated by Sandra Krisch and Dorothy Lipsky - Sierpc, Poland (The Community of Sierpc; Memorial Book) - coordinated by Howard Orenstein and Israel H. Mida To say that the work of these people is remarkable would be rather an understatement and my sincere thanks go out to them for their dedication and persistence coordinating these projects. I hope that their success will encourage the coordinators of the many other projects that we are running, to press on with their particular project, leading it through to its successful completion. Each of our Yizkor Book projects, like any endeavor, begins with a few small steps and this past month, the first "footprint" of the Soklowa Podlaski Yizkor Book Project was placed online. In the near future, a Translations Fund will be set up for it and will appear with our other 75 funds already appearing. These funds allow you to help support these important projects - every donation is a small (or large) step towards seeing more and more of the translations appear online. Now to facts and figures for July. During this last month we have added in 5 new projects: - Csorna, Hungary (Remembering the History of the Csorna Jews) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/csorna/csorna.html - Kamyanyets, Belarus (The People Who Lived Among Us) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Kamenets1/Kamenets1.html - Krosno, Poland (Krosno by the Wislok River) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Krosno/Krosno.html - Soklowa Podlaski, Poland (Memorial book Sokolow-Podlask) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sokolowa_podlaski/Sokolowa_podlaski.html - Szydlowiec, Poland (Szydlowiec Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Szydlowiec/Szydlowiec.html Added in 3 new entries: - Botiza, Romania (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania, Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00092.html - Botiza, Romania (The Marmaros Book; In Memory of 160 Jewish Communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/maramures/mar192.html - Estonia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Latvia1/lat336.html We have continued to update 26 of our existing projects: - Babruysk, Belarus (Memorial book of the community of Bobruisk and its surroundings) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/bobruisk/bysktoc1.html - Bender, Moldova (Bendery Community Yizkor Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Bender/Bender.html - Czestochowa, Poland (The Jews of Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa1/Czestochowa1.html - Czestochowa, Poland (Resurrection and Destruction in Ghetto Czestochowa) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czestochowa4/Czestochowa4.html - Czyzew-Osada, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine (Yekaterinoslav-Dnepropetrovsk Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ekaterinoslav/Ekaterinoslav.html - Golub-Dobrzyn, Poland (In Memory of the Communities Dobrzyn-Gollob) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/golub_dobrzyn/golub_dobrzyn.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 - Latvia (The Jews in Latvia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/latvia1/latvia1.html - Miedzyrzec Podlaski, Poland (Mezritsh Book, in Memory of the Martyrs of our City) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Miedzyrzec_Podlaski/Miedzyrzec_Podlaski.html - Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland (Memorial book of Nowy-Dwor) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Nowy_Dwor/Nowy_Dwor.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Parysow, Poland (Parysow; a memorial to the Jewish community of Parysow, Poland) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Parysow/Parysow.html - Serock, Poland (The book of Serock) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/serock/serock.html - Sierpc, Poland (The Community of Sierpc; Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Sierpc/Sierpc.html - Slovakia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Slovakia) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_slovakia/pinkas_slovakia.html - Stolin, Belarus (Stolin; a memorial to the Jewish communities of Stolin and vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stolin/stolin.html - Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stryj2/stryj2.html - Svisloch, Belarus (The community of Swislocz, Grodno District) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Svisloch/Svisloch.html - Szczebrzeszyn, Poland (The Book of Memory to the Jewish Community of Shebreshin) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Szczebrzeszyn/Szczebrzeszyn.html - Terebovlya, Ukraine (Jewish Communities of Trembowla, Strusow, Janow and Vicinity) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Terebovlya/Terebovlya.html - Wieliczka, Poland (The Jewish community of Wieliczka; a memorial book) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Wieliczka/Wieliczka.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.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 the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Re: Alfred HENSCHKE, better known by his pseudonym Klabund- a German writer. 2 Questions

Naomi Schor <naomi.schor@...>
Dear Robert,
Thanks for the postscript >from zeno.org. I guess that settles the puzzle, though I found this sentence "The author, whose real name is Alfred Henschke, is a German Jew" at http://www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/moyt/pih/chalk-circle.htm, and also this: "The best novel of the year written by a Jew is "Peter the Czar," by Kla-bund (Alfred Henschke), the young German lyricist.

Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois Event "Treasures in Print: Finding and Using Historical Newspapers"
#general
events@...
Genealogist Robin B. Seidenberg will speak on "Treasures in Print:
Finding and Using Historical Newspapers" at the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois meeting at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014, at Temple Beth-El, 3610 Dundee Road, Northbrook. When she started asking questions about her Hollywood producer uncle, no one remembered or was willing to give her information. Using historical newspapers she learned he had made millions in real estate and radio manufacturing and was known as the "zipper king" on his arrival in Hollywood. Using her uncle's story and many other examples, Seidenberg will explain how to unlock family secrets using historical newspapers. "Historical newspapers are a phenomenal resource for uncovering family information that often cannot be located any other way," she said. "Unlike censuses and other official records, they have neither time nor privacy restrictions." A member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild and the Association of Professional Genealogists, Seidenberg currently serves as co-president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois and vice president of PCBUG. She has been studying her family history since 1997. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees >from the University of Chicago and completed most of her Ph.D. requirements at the University of Illinois. This former college French teacher has used her linguistic skills to translate family records >from Polish and Old Cyrillic. Seidenberg specializes in using historical newspapers to research family history. The JGSI meeting facilities at Temple Beth El will open at 12:30 p.m. to accommodate members who want to use or borrow genealogy library materials, get help with genealogy websites or ask genealogical questions before the main program begins. For more information, visit http://jgsi.org/ or phone 312-666-0100. Sandra Kiferbaum

ViewMate translation request - Polish
#general
Dave Strausfeld <davestra@...>
Fellow travelers and hitchhikers,
I would be grateful for a translation of a document that's on Viewmate. The document, in Polish, is a page >from the Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland on which there is information about a little town called Blotnia which lies about 25 km southeast of Peremyshlyany. Someone was quite kind to give me a partial translation but I am hopeful of obtaining additional information about the town. I definitely don't need a literal translation. What I am hoping for is a summary of the information, and I'm especially interested in the geography of the place (what it looked like), the population statistics, and anything about industries. The document is on Viewmate at this address: http://www.jewishgen.org/viewmate/viewmateview.asp?key=VM35049 Thank you very much. Dave Strausfeld Durham, NC, USA MODERATOR NOTE: Please respond via the form in ViewMate or directly to Dave via email.
