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

INTRO - researching SUTRO/FRANKENHEIMER family from Bruck, Bavaria, Germany
#germany
Birgit Blume <BirgitBlume@...>
Hello GerSig,
I just joined the group. I have been doing genealogy research for 8 months. I consider myself to be intermediate in doing German Jewish Genealogy research. I live in Aachen/Aix-la-chapelle, NRW, Germany. My native language is German and I also know English. I consider myself advanced in using a computer. My experience in using the Internet is extensive. I am not researching relatives. I am searching information about two families which lived in my hometown for 30 years (1820 to 1850). I have identified the names and birth and death dates of the two brothers Simon and Emanuel SUTRO who raised their families in Aachen, but I wasn't very successful in finding information about their father's family in Bruck. My primary research goals now are to find out the birth and death dates of Samuel ben Abraham SUTRO (b. about 1758), his wife Ester/Oser, daughter of Baruch, ROTHSCHILD (b. about 1762), their children and their spouses. Birgit Blume BirgitBlume@web.de Aachen Germany My JGFF Researcher ID number is 664616. SUTRO - Bruck near Erlangen, Bavaria about 1758 - 1800 FRANKENHEIMER - Bruck near Erlangen, Bavaria FRANKENHEIMER - seeking information on the first wife of Low/Lob and their daughter Karoline (b. 1810) MANNHEIMER - Leutershausen, Bavaria in about 1780

Rozdol 1850 Cadastral Map added to Gesher Galicia's Cadastral Map Room & Map Searching Info
#galicia
Pamela Weisberger
Gesher Galicia has just uploaded an important addition to the Cadastral
Map Room: A full-color cadastral map for Rozdol (Rozdil, Rosdil) >from 1850. This map includes the suburb of Olchowiec and shows a well-developed town center include a market square, a Jewish community with three labeled buildings including a synagogue near one corner of the square, two church/monastery complexes with cemeteries, a large Jewish cemetery, the town water reservoir, two large manors with gardens, extensive farmlands, orchards, and a a very large forest. Buildings and land parcels are clearly marked; a small number of post-lithograph additions and revisions are marked in redline edits. View the map here: http://maps.geshergalicia.org/cadastral/rozdol-rozdil-1850/ Be sure to click on the + zoom feature to see close-up images of the town square and surrounding areas, then use your mouse to navigate through the map. The entire map room collection is here: http://maps.geshergalicia.org Don't see your town's map online yet? Look at Gesher Galicia's map inventories first to see if we have already checked various archives for maps of the town and if we have acquired any. Our inventory guide page is here: http://www.geshergalicia.org/inventory/ from there (or using the "Inventory" drop down menu on the homepage: http://www.geshergalicia.org) you can connect to our primary GARP inventory or the targeted inventories for the Przemysl or Rzeszow archives which list their map collections in alphabetical order. Not sure of your town name? Use our Galician Town Locator for the year 1900 here: http://www.geshergalicia.org/galician-town-locator/ Every town that was in Galicia in 1900 will be listed there, but consider various spellings and town names that were similar. To identify the correct one it helps to know the administrative districts where your village was. Using JewishGen's Jewish Community database is also useful, but it does not list all the 6,000-plus towns in Galicia. Many tiny villages might have had just one or two Jewish families, but would not be considered "Jewish Communities," which is why our Locator is so useful to researchers. If you find that GG has acquired maps, but they are not online, they are probably in the queue to be "stitched" (an involved process of merging various high-resolution scans to create a single online map), handled by our expert digital cartography coordinator, Jay Osborn. If you don't see your town, it means that a Galician Archival Records Project for as not yet been established. The GARP projects are driven by member contributions, which fund research, acquisitions and stitching. More info here: http://www.geshergalicia.org/projects/garp/ You must be a dues-paying member of Gesher Galicia to start a project, since member dues go into our matching fund program, so if you are not yet a member, or need to renew for 2015, go here: http://www.geshergalicia.org/membership/ If you are simply a map enthusiast and want to support our work, which includes gathering more province-wide maps, please donate to the map room fund here: http://www.geshergalicia.org/donate/ More maps and more exciting Gesher Galicia news will be coming soon.

Holly Golightly Was a Nice Jewish Girl: Our Ancestors Reinvented: JGSLA Program, Monday, Feb. 23 at 7:30PM - Skirball Cultural Center
#galicia
Pamela Weisberger
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Los Angeles invites you to our next
program on how our ancestors re-imagined their lives in extraordinary ways: Monday, February 23, 2015 at 7:30PM Skirball Cultural Center - Magnin Auditorium 2701 N Sepulveda Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90049 "Holly Golightly Was a Nice Jewish Girl: Our Ancestors Reinvented" Ever wonder if there was more to your family history than meets the eye? Poor immigrant Jews arriving in Der Goldene Medina (the promised land) not only shed their old world clothing and shtetl names, but often completely reinvented their personalities, creating new identities and obscuring old ones. >from deadbeat, bigamist husbands to sweatshop maideles transformed into Ziegfeld chorines, explore the trajectories of these extraordinary lives through genealogical case studies. Hear the tale of two foster-home Bessarabian beauties, born to a poor teenager on the lower east side, who rose >from rags to riches to become muses to a teenage Truman Capote, meeting the real Holly Golightly along the way! We'll also follow the story of Russian immigrant fishmonger Avram >from Odessa who got "whacked by the mob" as gun-runner "Barney Blum" in the noirish 1920s Los Angeles, and Charles Kaufman born in 1847 Lichtenau, Germany, who made his way across the U.S. to become a mining tycoon in San Francisco, then on to Australia's Eastern Goldfields, and finally ending up in high society London, acquiring three citizenships along the way. Using creative methodology and genealogical travel we'll explore the twisted roads our ancestors traveled to establish a new life -- or run out on an old one. Learn investigative techniques for uncovering the truth about your own amazing (but often hidden) family history. Speaker: Pamela Weisberger, Program Chair JGSLA, President, Gesher Galicia Open to the public. JGSLA members free, guests $5.00. The JGSLA traveling library will be available starting at 7:00PM.

I believe the Cheder class displayed in this photo includes brothers
Israel Icek and Chil Jukiel KATZ >from Ostrowiec, Poland. I have several questions regarding it. 1) There was a 5 year difference in age between the brothers. Chil (in the front row center wearing glasses) looks like he is about 8 years old, which means that Israel would be a toddler. At what age did boys start school? 2) I would like to know what the partially-obscured sign says. 3) Does anyone recognize (or expect to see) any of the other boys in the photo?
