Ukraine Visit 2013

From 2 June 2013 to 22 June 2013 I fulfilled one of my fervent genealogical wishes: I visited Ukraine and my family (Garber, Morris/Mazewitsky, Myers/Malzmann, Liebross and Wenkert) shtetlach. This was a trip long time in planning and helped, immeasurably, by the advice of several fellow Jewish Genealogists (Pamela Weisberger, Ron Doctor, Marla Osborn and Janette Silverman) as well as my on-site guide/genealogist/translator Alex Dunai and his associates. I also was encouraged by Hale (Nubby) Alpern's generous support. 

Special thanks to my best traveling companion, my daughter Katherine, who put up with long (read: boring) stays in the archives and (seemingly) constant changes in plans. Love you!

    It is interesting to read your blog as I get ready to do my trip to the Ukraine with my daughter. We will be in Dnepropetrovsk/Ekatrinislav where my family emigrated from. We also intend to spend a couple of days in Kiev.

      Good luck with your trip, Carol. To my mind, planning is critical, but so is leaving enough time to be able to change plans on the fly. Accept the concept of adventure and you'll have a great time.
