Mailing Lists
A good way to learn more about Kherson, get informed about what happens, get answers to your questions,
share your experiences, and find other people looking for the same ancestors, is to subscribe to the
discussion mailing lists.
There are two mailing lists that you should subscribe to:
- Ukraine SIG discussion list at JewishGen:
This is the general discussion list for the
JewishGen's Ukraine Special Interest Group. You can subscribe
here
(you have to be registered with JewishGen to subscribe).
- Odessa discussion list at Rootsweb:
This is a specific discussion list for Odessa;
there does not seem to be a Kherson discussion list.
To subscribe, you need to send an email to a specific address:
- To subscribe to the "List" mode (you receive every message as it is posted to the list),
you should send an email to
UKR-Odessa-GEN-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word "subscribe" as the subject.
- To subscribe to the "Digest" mode (you receive multiple messages in one daily email),
you should send an email to
UKR-Odessa-GEN-D-request@rootsweb.com with the single word "subscribe" as the
subject.
Forums
A forum provides the same benefits as mailing lists, but you don't receive an email digest
with every discussion.
You have to check it regularly, and you must specifically define for which threads you want to
receive updates by email.
If you are fluent in Russian (or if you manage yourself with google translate) you should also
register as a user at
forum.j-roots.info. This is a global Jewish
Genealogy discussion
group for the Russian Empire and the benefit is that most of the genealogists are originary from
the USSR and have
"inside" information that is hard to find for American or European researchers.
