Dr. Ron Doctor, Coordinator of the JewishGen Ukraine Special Interest Group, will discuss his efforts to make the JewishGen Ukraine Special Interest Group (SIG) more relevant to researchers. He'll describe the SIG's new town-centered organization, the projects the SIG is developing to improve Jewish Ukrainian research, how you can learn the names of your ancestral towns, and how to find old country data that may help you research your ancestors. See examples of some of the records that are available, including vital records and revision lists (censuses). Records like these have enabled Ron to extend his direct ancestral lines back to the early 1700s. Don’t miss it!
