For those doing their Ukrainian genealogy, the Russo-Ukrainian war raises serious concerns about what is happening to Ukrainian archive records. Vera talked about efforts taking place to secure those records for future generations. She also showed how to find the millions of Ukrainian archive records online without knowing Ukrainian.
Vera also detailed the best resources and tools for Ukrainian genealogy, including Google Translate. Her presentation provided the latest news about FamilySearch’s efforts to digitize Ukrainian archive records.
Vera Ivanova Miller, a former newspaper reporter, has been researching her ancestry from Ukraine, Russia and Poland since 2006. Her journey was the inspiration to start in 2011 a blog, “Find Lost Russian and Ukrainian Family", one of 2023 Family Tree Magazine's 101 Best Websites. Her accompanying genealogy group on Facebook, Find Your Lost Russian and Ukrainian Family, has more than 5,300 members who speak English, Russian, Ukrainian and other languages to help each other on their genealogy from the former Russian Empire.
Thanks to learning how to use Russian- and Ukrainian-language resources online, Vera has been able to get her Eastern European family tree researched back to the 1600s. She is the author of “Genealogy at a Glance: Ukrainian Genealogy Research” and “Genealogy at a Glance: Russian Genealogy Research”, publications of Genealogical Publishing Co.
Since 2021, the mother of two boys has given online genealogy presentations to various organizations. Vera enjoys making time for projects and photo requests for FindAGrave, her hobby since 2014. She is the daughter of a Russian father and Ukrainian mother.
