* About the Family History Group at the Ukrainian Historical & Education
Center *
Family History Group programming is coordinated by Mike Buryk, Michelle
Tucker Chubenko, and Justin Houser, with the help of the Center’s
archivist Michael Andrec and museum director Natalia Honcharenko. The
goal is to help promote genealogical research and create an interest in ancestry and heritage in the former areas of the Province of Galicia,
Ruthenia, Sub-Carpathian Rus and Russian Empire guberniyas which became
Ukraine SSR, including descendants of ethnic groups Boykos,
German-Bohemian (Bohmisch), Hustuls, Lemkos, Moravian, (Rusyn), and
those of Jewish ancestry. The FHG holds two annual events which offer opportunities for researchers to get advice on preserving family records
and learn about tracing their ancestry in both Ukrainian and Polish
archives.
