Join coordinator Joseph B. Everett and his team for a NEW course during SLIG Fall Virtual 2024.
Students in Slava Ukraini! Genealogical Research in Ukraine will develop an understanding of the records and research methods for tracing families in this region, and learn skills in searching, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from records from Ukraine and the historical jurisdictions that became part of it. The course includes instruction and practice in the Cyrillic alphabet and handwriting, progressing to guided analysis of various source documents. Students will also learn about the historical and geographical context of the region, methods for tracing immigrant origins, and how to navigate to relevant records. This course is for those researching their own family history or who have clients or library patrons with heritage from lands that are now part of Ukraine It is also for those who are interested in broadening their research knowledge for potential future research in this area. The emphasis will be on tracing Christian and Jewish families.
Students will learn best who already possess an intermediate to advanced knowledge of genealogical research methods and standards in general. No prior knowledge of Ukrainian research or the Ukrainian or Russian language is required to succeed in the course, however participants will come prepared with at least a rudimentary knowledge of the Cyrillic alphabet by completing the pre-course packet. Participants who already have a degree of Ukrainian research proficiency will benefit by reinforcing their abilities while developing new knowledge and skills in paleography, accessing resources, and research methods.
