Under Construction !

Welcome to the Ukraine Research Division !

Starting in early 2023, the Communications Team of the Ukraine RD has begun to refresh, revise, and modernize the Ukraine website and various related pages. We’ll be looking at every page and updating information where necessary. This will be a long process and we ask for your patience as we bring you an easy-to-use, vital research tool for your Ukraine research.

In the meantime, you can still use the site as you did before -- until we’re ready to debut the new version.

Welcome to Ukraine Research Division!

We share histories, resources, data, and research tips to help each other research Jewish Genealogy.

We cover the region of nine historical Russian Empire gubernias now mainly in Ukraine but also in Russia.

To learn more about the geographical area we cover, about the work of UKR-RD and how our website is organized, click 'Get Started' on the top menu bar.

Or you can start using the clickable map to get to information about a specific province, district or town.

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.
