Ukrainian Genealogy (first of two parts)
The war in Ukraine has created a lot of concern about the ability to conduct Ukrainian genealogy research, however, the latest news is the war has pushed the effort to digitize Ukrainian archive records at a speed never seen before.
This two-part series on researching Ukrainian family history will will review the country’s geography and history, explain how to locate and access Ukrainian genealogical resources and demonstrate their use in a case study. Each session will consist of a presentation and an opportunity to ask questions. Part two takes place November 30.
The lectures will be recorded, so that registrants who can’t attend the live presentations may watch at a more convenient time.
The fee is $20 for non-members and $15 for members. Detailed descriptions about the two parts and registration are available on the branch’s website.
