Great Reviews from Researchers
It’s so gratifying to hear positive news from researchers of our site. Here are just a few:
♥ “I was excited to find some new records in the new release of Ukrainian Jewish records this month.”
♥ “I look forward to exploring the new records every month and I appreciate all your efforts in this great project.”
♥ “I want to thank you and JewishGen for so much help I've gotten through the info and especially the records I found on the site.”
♥ “After I saw your note this morning, I searched the Ukraine site again, by town, by birthdate, by surname -- and saved lots of new PDFs! There was so much more than I've found before! And that's why I sent in my $100 payment!”
December Uploads
We uploaded 146,197 records from hundreds of towns, including Korostishev, Ladyzhinka, Yelisavetgrad, Germanovka, Talnoe, Yampol, Kharkov, Levkov, Chudnov and many more! These records encompass census, birth, marriage, deaths, and divorce data. For details about these documents and the towns they cover, please click on the attached spreadsheet.

Special Contribution
Again, we thank volunteers Igor Lekhtman and Michael Ishal for their work and generous contribution of the Zhitomir area marriage record translation, which is uploaded this month.
New Offer for Donations of $100+ Still Open
While we have a substantial number of records awaiting transcription, we want to express our appreciation for donors contributing $100 or more by prioritizing the transcription of records from your specific towns or areas. To facilitate this process, please send an email to pberenson@jewishgen.org with your town information after making your donation at: https://tinyurl.com/bdfuhfrs to Ukraine Documents Acquisition and Translation Project.
Find Your Family
To locate records related to your family, visit JewishGen.org and search for your family surnames. Each new record includes a link to the original document page, where you can discover information about your ancestors. Additional insights may also be found within the original document.
Thank you! Thank you!
We extend our gratitude to all who have generously donated over the past months to support this project. Your dedication to JewishGen's ongoing efforts to transcribe all available records is greatly valued.
