| Home | The Jewish Preservation Committee of Ukraine The Jewish Preservation Committee of Ukraine can fulfill the genealogical investigations for you in any municipal or state archive all over Ukraine. We require the minimal fee to cover expenses for people doing searches and trips to other ukrainian cities if necessary. This is the general information about JPCU and our activities: Jewish Preservation Committee of Ukraine (JPCU) was founded in 1993 by initiative of chief Rabbi of Kiev and Ukraine Yaakov Dov Bleich under the Union of Jewish Religion Organizations of Ukraine for 3 purposes. The main of them is the collecting of information on former Jewish property all over Ukraine. For the present moment a lot of information about Jewish objects such as synagogues, schools, hospitals, cemeteries, mass burial sites and so on have been collected totally around 2000 objects. The next two programs were founded on the base of the information gathered before: One of them is genealogical archive researches all over Ukraine. During the last 2 years we have carried out about 50 investigations, most of them successfully. We are only working with professional historians and archivists whom are very experienced in their work in all big Ukrainian archives. The second is special aimed Jewish tours in Ukraine (group tours as well as individual ones). This program was began by the support of TACIS International organization that provides the consultative help to revival of business in East Europeans countries. We can propose you programs of some tours round the Jewish places of Ukraine: Galitzia Shtetlahs (Lvovskaya and Chernovitskaya oblast) Sholom - Aleykhem (Kievskaya, Vinnitskaya and Khmelnitskaya oblast) Yegupetz (Kiev and Kievskaya oblast) By your wish we can worked out the individual tours for the people, who like to visit the places, their ancestors came from, or make researches in Ukrainian archives by themselves. We are in able to provide transportation, guide-translators, hotel booking and so on. If you become interested in any of our activities please respond us. We will be glad to answer all your questions. There are the general information about JPCU's genealogical program and our conditions as well as the questionnaire for search. We will be glad to answer all the questions you have. JPC has made the solid contacts with municipal and state archives enabling to carry out genealogical researches. We require some fee for these searches to compensate expenses of payment to people doing searches in archives, traveling to other Ukrainian cities and copying the archive's materials. We have to note that the most of Ukrainian archives especially in small towns and villages do not have any facilities to help searching such as computers, ordered catalogues of records and copying equipment. Typically this fee is about $50 plus $4-6 per hour archive searching for Kiev and about $80-100 plus $6 per hour for another cities. The fee for copying documents is not included in this amount and should be paid separately in every concrete case because these expenses are very different from one archive to another. Of course, the cost varies depending of search difficulty. It is necessary condition to transfer approximately the half of expected value to Rabbi Bleich account as the payment in advance which will allow JPC to make preliminary work for searching. This preliminary work takes two working days in archive (16 hours) usually if the trip to other cities do not required and allows us to define if the search has good chances for success. After this first stage you will receive our full report as well as after after all future stages of investigations. If our conditions are suit to you please fill down and send to us the following form. Then we will estimate the cost of search and indicate to you the value to transfer, bank account details and approximative time needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We hope that will be helpful for you. Please answer the following questions about person to search as complete as you can: 1.
