    Subject: [genealogy] Upcoming Ukrainian Genealogy Conference - October 24, Somerset, NJ

    Hello fellow genealogists!

    Those of you who can get to New Jersey this fall may be interested in this conference to be held at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Somerset, NJ. I
    hope to see you there. Registration information is available here: https://www.ukrhec.org/civicrm/event/info?id=22&reset=1

    "Nashi Predky-Our Ancestors" Fall 2015 Conference

    Join fellow genealogists for the second annual full-day conference of the Family History Group.

    Expert speakers Justin Houser, Kirill Chashchin, Shelly Morehead, Gail
    Hahn, and Michael Andrec will present talks on a variety of topics related
    to Ukrainian and Eastern European genealogy from the introductory to the advanced. Topics will cover a wide range of time and geography, including deportations of Lemkos from Poland, the US Federal Census, understanding
    DNA testing, and (for the first time) an in-depth presentation on
    researching Central and Eastern Ukrainian ancestors!

    The program will include:

    Finding Ukrainian Relatives Deported from Southeastern Poland 1944-1947
    (Justin Houser)

    In previous Nashi Predky events, we have had talks about the ethnic
    Ukrainians in Poland who were forcibly relocated within the country after
    World War II (Akcja "Wisła"). This talk will consider the other forced migration of this period: the many ethnic Ukrainians who were deported into Soviet Ukraine. Justin will describe records that have recently become available documenting those deported and where they were "resettled".

    Tracing heirs through Ukrainian archives: Detective stories of metrical
    records and censuses (Kirill Chashchin)

    Kirill will discuss researching ancestors in Central and Eastern Ukraine through vital records and the Russian Imperial Census of 1897.

    It’s Like Velcro: DNA Testing for Genealogy (Shelly Morehead)

    Have you taken a DNA test but aren't sure what you're results mean or how
    to use them? While using DNA for genealogy is a great tool, it's also
    important to understand the results of the tests you've taken. This lecture describes the three major testing companies results, how they differ and
    what third party tools you can use to find others who used a different
    testing company.
    20th Century Census - Clues to Your Ancestors (Gail Hahn)

    Gail will present search strategies and information gathering from the 1900-1940 US Federal Census records, with illustrative examples using
    Ukrainian and Hungarian families.

    A Practical Introduction to Archival Science for Genealogists (Michael
    Andrec)

    Virtually all family historians have made use of records housed in archival repositories either directly or indirectly. But most genealogists have at
    some point probably been intimidated or confused by how archives work and
    why they're organized the way they are. This talk will give an introduction
    to the principles that govern the work of archives professionals in the
    United States and in countries with which it shares an archival tradition (e.g., Great Britain, Canada, and Australia). The talk will focus on those aspects that are most relevant to family historians, such how to search for relevant collections and how to read and understand archival finding aids.
    If time permits, he will consider some of the differences between archival methodology in the US and Ukraine.
