Subject: [genealogy] Upcoming Ukrainian Genealogy Conference - October 24, Somerset, NJ
Hello fellow genealogists!

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.
