Welcome To The
Ukrainian Genealogical Society
Welcome to the home page for the Ukrainian Genealogical Society.
Currently, the UGS is a totally online organization and community focusing on
helping the genealogist to research their Ukrainian roots. Start by
reading the UGS Mission Statement and Feature
Highlight.
The Ukrainian Genealogy Society was originally started in January
2001 as a means of helping those conducting Ukrainian genealogy research. The number of
organizations and societies pertaining specifically to Ukrainian family research is
limited. Many Internet sites exist that are focused toward Eastern European research, but
Ukrainian-specific genealogy sites aren't as prevalent.
The Ukrainian heritage is a rich and proud one that deserves a
higher place in the Eastern European genealogical hierarchy then it currently has. The UGS
was founded in order to help uplift and improve the resources and information currently
available for the Ukrainian genealogist.
