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

Abauj-Torna 1848 census is at the State Archives in Kosice, Slovakia. I think Peter Absolon took pictures of the actual pages.

Phyllis Kramer, z'l
#latinamerica
Avraham Groll
Dear JewishGen Community,
With tremendous pain and sadness, I regret to inform you that Phyllis Kramer, our beloved Director of Education, has passed away. Not many were aware of this, but Phyllis was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive illness shortly before the Cleveland conference. Phyllis shared the news with me, but asked that I not publicize it. Over the past 6 weeks, Phyllis did a lot of work, together with Nancy Holden, to perpetuate our educational offerings, and more information will be shared in the coming days. But for now, we join together in great sadness and mourning for someone who dedicated so much of herself to the broader Jewish genealogical community. I last spoke to Phyllis a few days ago, and last saw her in person a couple of weeks ago. She was an extremely loyal friend, mentor and role model to me personally, and I know that she will be deeply, deeply missed by all of us. More information will be shared, including what we can do to honor Phyllis's memory, in the days ahead. With tears. Avraham Groll Executive Director JewishGen.org

The September 2019 Issue of the Galitzianer
#poland
Gesher Galicia SIG
Gesher Galicia is delighted to announce the release of the September
2019 issue of our quarterly research journal, the "Galitzianer." This issue portrays Galicia >from different perspectives - historical, political, architectural, and geographical - and takes readers on a journey >from the birth of Austrian Galicia to today. In the September issue, we experience Emperor Joseph II's early encounters with the Jews of Galicia, and we witness the evolution of Jewish participation in local politics. We read about an assistant rabbi >from Dolina whose loyalty to the state helped him to maintain his job. We meet a Jewish architect with an artistic legacy that lives on in Lviv and a family legacy that lives on in the US Congress. We are introduced to two brothers >from Dynow, whose lives diverged dramatically during World War II. Finally, we get to know Steven Turner and learn how a question about his surname took him on a quest that ultimately led to his new position as president of Gesher Galicia. Here are the articles in the September issue: - "Interview with Steven S. Turner" - "Research Corner: Discoveries in the Archives" by Tony Kahane - "Becoming Habsburg Galitzianers" by Andrew Zalewski - "Jewish Political Rights: Evolution in Participation" by Borries Kuzmany - "The Life of Jozef Awin" by Sergey R. Kravtsov - "New Finds: Old Regional Maps" by Jay Osborn - Two Brothers: Parallel Lives and Divergent Paths by Nina Talbot The "Galitzianer" is a membership benefit of Gesher Galicia; for membership information, visit our website at www.geshergalicia.org/membership/.

#poland
We at Gesher Galicia are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic
loss of our good friend, Phyllis Kramer z'l. Phyllis was member #417 of Gesher Galicia. She was a 100% Galitzianer. Anyone who came in contact with her was inspired by her devotion to Jewish genealogy to not only research but to help others. Her lectures were always popular. One left her presentations with excitement to go and try her suggestions on the topic at hand. Education was truly her passion and we at Gesher Galicia and everybody in the Jewish genealogy world is going to miss her. We send our heartfelt condolences to the Kramer, Gumbrecht and Katz families, Jewish Gen where she was the Vice President of Education and the JGS of Palm Beach where she served in an executive position. IAJGS conferences will not be the same without her. Baruch Dayan ha'Emet. -- Dr. Steven Turner President Gesher Galicia

AIZIC family from Nicoresti

Yael Cotlick <yael.cotlick@...>
Hello,
My grandfather, Josif AIZIC, was born in Nicoresti, in 1923. I am looking for any information regarding: 1) The origins of the surname AIZIC. Could it be a Sephardic Jewish surname? 2) the Jewish community in Nicoresti - I wasn't able to find anything online. >from the Romanian census of 1930 I found out that there were 52 Jews living in Nicoresti in 1930, out of which only 38 spoke Yiddish, which I found odd. Is it possible that there were Sephardic Jews in the community? 3) Anyone with the same surname originally >from Nicoresti. I have no knowledge of any uncles/aunties or cousins my grandfather had. 4) How do I go about obtaining death records >from Nicoresti? I know that my grandfather's father, Haim, passed away whilst the family lived there. Many thanks, Yael Corlick
