The Ukraine Research Division of JewishGen expects to double its transcription rate and the resulting output for researchers, beginning in the second half of 2025. Phyllis Berenson, Director of the Ukraine Research Division will discuss the newly available records, how to access them, and research tips.
This one-hour program, conducted over Zoom at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, is free for members. This is one of the many activities that is a benefit of JGSGW membership. Instructions for joining the online meeting will be placed under
