Welcome to Ukraine SIG!

We share histories, resources, data, and research tips to help each other research Jewish Genealogy in the region of the former Russian Empire gubernias now in Ukraine.

To begin, use the clickable map to get to information about a specific province, district or town. Or, click "Get Started" on the top menu bar to learn about the work of UKR-SIG and how our website is organized.

There's a LOT of information here; we hope you'll enjoy browsing and digging. If you have questions, or want to contribute something of your own, contact us.
