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

KATCHOP-Ukrainian Slavic language
#ukraine
Yonatan Ben-Ari
Can anyone confirm that the above term-KATCHOP- in Ukranian refers to
someone who deals with lumber. It appears in one of Chaim Nachman Bialik (Israel's national author) as such. I believe also in other jewish literary sources. TIA Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem

My Father's brother Leon was born in 1912. All traces of him have been gone after the war. Leon was my father's oldest brother. He was last seen by my father in the Plaszow concentration camp sometime between June 22- September, 1944. Leon did not return nor was any trace of him found after the war. I would like to know what happened to him. I have searched on Ancestry, JewishGen and the Arolsen Collection. If anyone has ANY information, I would be eternally grateful!

Searching for Shoikhet and Chausovsky families currently in Lithuania
#lithuania
Todd Cohn
I came across a Yad Vashem Page of Testimony that was submitted by a relative of mine named Feiga Shoikhet in 1991. At that time she lived in Lithuania, Vilnius, Erfurto str 48/9. I'm looking for suggestions on how I might be able to confirm if she or her family still lives in Lithuania today and of course try and get in touch with her.
Other relatives of hers are her: Father Shimon Dovid Sister Chava Shoikhet Chausovsky Brother in law Semyon Chausovsky Nephew Vladimir Chausovsky Alexander Chausovsky
Places the family has lived are: Odessa Grossulova Moscow
Thank you for your help. -Todd

Do you think having a lawyer expedited the process or made it easier? If so, could you please share or PM the name of your attorney? I'm finding gathering the necessary documents daunting. I'm also worried because my German is so poor. Thank you.

Getting adoption records in NY applies to the adoptees and their descendents only. It is entirely possible that given the time frame specified and that the "adoption" may have been within the family, that no formal adoption was made. -- -- Barbara Ellman Secaucus NJ USA HASSMAN, SONENTHAL, DAUERMAN, LUCHS - Drohobycz, Ukraine HIRSCHHORN, GOLDSTEIN, BUCHWALD - Dolyna, Ukraine ELLMAN, COIRA, MAIDMAN - Minkovtsy, Ukraine KAGLE, FASS - Ulanow, Poland

Yonatan Ben-Ari
My great great grandmother, Gittle ABRAMOWITZ, came to New Haven, Ct.
somewhere between 1870 and 1890 as a widow with four youngish orphans. The childrens' names were David (?), Sarah, Meir and Kalman. She may have remarried on the way from Novarodok (from where she left) and her family name may have changed. She supposedly was in the silversmith trade (with her second husband). One child, Meir (my great grandfather) as a child was sent to Jerusalem (then Palestine) and the other 3 stayed in the USA. David, the eldest, went to Boston and eventually got a job in a dept.store . Again ,supposedly, rose to managerial level . At some point in her life she married a LAZAROFF from London. Sarah seems to have had a grandson, Tom, who lived ( and studied ?) in Boston. He was about my mother's age, (b. 1914). Father may not have been jewish. Sarah and her husband (name unknown to me) lived and/or vacationed on Coney Island, NYC, during the 1930s The problem with the credibility of the above data is that it derives primarily from an autobiography of one of Meir's granddaughters which was garnered by information received by word of mouth ("supposedly" above). The writer of this autobiography says in the introduction that her book " is oral history" rather than sources based. Also some of the information is based on interviews with elderly family members who are no longer with us. Gittle was also supposedly related to Rabbi Isaac Simcha HOROWITZ of Hartford, Ct. who passed away in 1936. That is my guess why she came to New Haven in the first place (but then again why not to Hartford?) If the above sounds familiar to anyone or can be confirmed somehow in New Haven, I would be very grateful to hear. BTW, the autobiography mentioned above is called : "A Child of the Desert" by Adina Katzoff (ne ABRAMOWITZ) Yoni Ben-Ari, Jerusalem

Harry Klayman - Need Information
#usa
BUDGAIN@...
I have been trying to find information on my great grandfather Harry H. Klayman for many years but can never find anything after he left Petersburg, VA around 1907.
We believe we emigrated from Germany or Poland and was born on June 28, 1871. He married Martha Lamb in 1892 a native of Petersburg, VA and they had 5 daughters. I cannot find any emigration records on him and last documented information for him was a 1900 census taken in Petersburg, VA of which they spelled the last name Clayman. When he left Petersburg at the age 30 not trace of him can be found. I do have a photo of him attached to this request. If anyone has knowledge about him, please let me know.

Does anyone have (or have link to) Reckendorf records (looking for Baum) - matrikeln, B/M/D, etc?
#germany
ledererrob@...
Hi All. This is and another are my first posts in 15+ years, since GerSIG days.
I'm looking for birth, marriage, death, matrikel, name change, and other records for Burgpreppach. My target ancestor is Dorrit Dorothea Baum b. ca. 1806-15 and next known to be in NYC in 1836. Later Reckendorf records may still show family members of hers even if I can't get to ones that include her specifically. Does anyone have these records? Is there an online archive that contains them? Being that it's Bavaria, I think it's not available online. Thank you, Rob Lederer

Re: Grodno Gubernia - Family names Mattis/Matesky and Weinberg
#belarus
Diane Jacobs
Here is an easy way to understand what a Gubernia is: New York State similar to Gubernia New York County similar to a district within the Gubernia. New York ie Manhattan similar to a city, town or village within a district. So you have Bereza, Pruzhany District, Grodno Gubernia ie town, district, state. Hope this helps.

Re: JSTOR Expands Free Access During Pandemic
#announcements
Alberto Guido Chester
Dear Jewishgenners
Yesterday Jan Meisels Allen posted the announcement of free access for JSTOR.
For those not used to looking in books or academic sources for the CONTEXT of our genealogical searches, may I strongly recommend to take advantage of these databases that are free during these harsh quarantine times.
In my personal case, understanding the context of time and place where my ancestors lived has been as important as gathering their names and dates of vital records.
JSTOR is one of the most complete repositories of academic work and looking for key words like hasidism or feudal Poland or Polish magnates or even shtetls might open a new window in your research.
Of course, there are other very good sources like Y.S: Agnon, Israel Singer and Isaac Bashevis SInger´s books for the ambience and life in shtetls or the recent book the Golden AGe Shtetl: A new history of Jewish Life in East Europe (which deals with a previous time before the great wave of migration to the West began). Some chapters of the latter are available also in JSTOR.
As a historian and hobbyist genealogist, please forgive myself for giving this insistent advice.
RegardsAlberto Guido ChesterBuenos Aires, Argentina
PS: I have no personal interest in any of the sources mentioned.

robgoudey@...
Hello. I'm researching for a biography of Prof Julius Sumner Miller. Julius' father was Samuel Miller, married to Sarah Newmark, both having arrived in America (NewYork City) from Europe (Riga in what was part of Russia) between 1882 and 1884. Records relating to Sam Miller also name him as Shmuel Miller, Samuel Stark and Shevah Starkovsky. Does anybody have information that might help me to understand Sam better? Please let me know. Thanks, Rob.
