FamilySearch has been digitizing Ukrainian archive records, opening the door to new possibilities in Ukrainian genealogy. Archives were slow to post records online until FamilySearch returned for its project in 2022. Vera Ivanova Miller will detail the free records and databases being posted online by FamilySearch, archives, organizations and activists and the tools, including Google Translate, that help make Ukrainian genealogy an easier experience for those unfamiliar with Ukrainian.
