Welcome to Ukraine SIG!

We share histories, resources, data, and research tips to help each other research Jewish Genealogy.

We cover the region of nine historical Russian Empire gubernias now mainly in Ukraine but also in Russia.

To learn more about the geographical area we cover, about the work of UKR-SIG and how our website is organized, click "Get Started" on the top menu bar.

Or you can start using the clickable map to get to information about a specific province, district or town.

There's a LOT of information here; we hope you'll enjoy browsing and digging. If you have questions, or want to contribute something of your own, contact us.
