Formal UGG-NCR meetings for this season follows our traditional approach of being convened on the fourth Tuesday of each month, with the exception of December where there we will not be any meeting. Meetings will also be suspended for the summer months of June, July and August. Start time is 7:30 PM (Eastern) unless otherwise noted.
Since the start of January 2020, the UGG-NCR’s formal monthly meetings have been delivered as on-line “Webinars” rather than in-person presentations / discussions.

FamilySearch Operations in Ukraine by Greg Nelson
Despite the war, FamilySearch has resumed large-scale digitization of genealogy-related materials in the state archives of Ukraine. In this presentation, we heard the latest from Greg Nelson, FamilySearch’s Content Strategy specialist for East Europe. FamilySearch has been signing more and more cooperation agreements with Ukrainian archives, including as recently as September 21st 2022 with the Cherkasy oblast archives. Greg also explained what is coming down the pike in terms of digital access to Ukrainian historical records.
A video recording of Greg’s Webinar presentation can be found here. We also have recordings of the Introductory and Q&A segments from that evening.
A copy of the slides Greg presented that evening as well as written answers from Greg to questions posed by attendees during the webinar have also been added.
