*** (1) What's this about?

A bunch of us were talking in Chicago at Jacob's Bar Mitzvah in 2002
(Jacob is the son of Judy and Mark Davis (they also have a daughter
Rachel); Judy is daughter of Sue Wolff (Sara Tanenbaum)).  We decided to
set up a mailing list to keep in touch and to exchange information.  We
also discussed the possibility of a Tanenbaum convention next year.

Groups.io offers free mailing lists for up to 100 people, in a format
that's very easy to administer, which is why I suggested using it.

This mailing list is currently open to anyone in the world who wants to
join it.  It's unmoderated -- that is, anyone can send any kind of
message to the list.  We can use it for anything, but "anything" should
be related to the Tanenbaums: our genealogy, important events and news,
reminiscing, etc.  Please use the list responsibly.  If we have
problems, we can restrict membership and "moderate" the messages.

You are invited to join the list at your convenience.  Or you can just
send me a note if you need assistance.

You can see more about the list at:   https://groups.io/g/tanenbaums

*** (2) How can I join this list?

Easy!  To sign up by e-mail, send a message to:

       tanenbaums+subscribe@groups.io

The subject and message are ignored.  Groups.io will send a message
back to your e-mail address to verify that you want to sign up.  Reply
to the message (again with anything or nothing) to acknowledge.

Or, to sign up via the web, visit groups.io, search on
"tanenbaums" and follow the instructions.

If you have further questions or problems, contact me at
tanenbaums+owner@groups.io.  Your first post to the list will be
moderated, that is, I have to OK it before it will appear (to prevent
spammers).

Tell all our relatives about this list!  You can also request that
emails be combined into a daily digest so you don't get a flood of
emails.

*** (3) How do I get off this list?

Easy!  You can unsubscribe yourself any time after you subscribe by
sending an email to:

        tanenbaums+unsubscribe@groups.io

The subject line and body of your message are ignored.

*** (4) How do I send a message to the list?

Easy!  Just email your message to "tanenbaums@groups.io".  Groups.io
will automatically resend it to everyone on the list.  This usually
happens within seconds, but could take as much as several minutes.

*** (5) Tell me about ellisisland.org!

Use your web browser (FireFox, Safari, Edge, Chrome etc), you can see
and search some of the Ellis Island immigration records.  The records
cover only third- and fourth-class passengers (the fancy people didn't
go through the same paperwork), and, of course, spelling of names is
always chancy.

Several Tannenbaums (with that spelling) came to the US on July 2nd,
1911, from Bremen Germany, on the George Washington:

Name................... Gender. Age.... Marital Ethnic. Origin.........
Tannenbaum, Ester       F       54y     W       Hebrew  Siedlec, Russia
Tannenbaum, Taube       F       25y     M       Hebrew  Siedlec, Russia
Tannenbaum, Mojsche     M       18y     S       Hebrew  Iwanow, Russia (*)
Tannenbaum, Gerszon     M       11y     S       Hebrew  Siedlec, Russia
Tannenbaum, Ryfke       F       8y      S       Hebrew  Siedlec, Russia
Tannenbaum, Lejbisz     M       4y      S       Hebrew  Siedlec, Russia
Tannenbaum, Motel       M       9m      S       Hebrew  Siedlec, Russia

(*) Not clear if this guy is related; some 451 people with this spelling
of Tannenbaum are in the computerized records.
