The Routes to Roots Foundation was created by Miriam Weiner, who is a genealogist specializing in the research of Jewish roots in Poland and the former Soviet Union. In her 30+ years of experience in Eastern European archives, she collected vast amounts of information and material. Much of her data was originally published in ''Jewish Roots in Ukraine and Moldova'' and ''Jewish Roots in Poland,'' but is now available online through the Routes to Roots Foundation website. The site includes many resources to help you research your Jewish roots including a town-by-town index/inventory of surviving Jewish records in archives, maps, surname and Holocaust list databases, informative articles, and much more! {{Ukraine-sidebar}} | The Routes to Roots Foundation was created by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Weiner_(genealogist) Miriam Weiner], who is a genealogist specializing in the research of Jewish roots in Poland and the former Soviet Union.

In order to research your family in Ukraine, it is essential that you have identified the place where they came from. It is not enough to know only ‘Ukraine;' you must know the town name and the district/province name. The name of a nearby larger town can also be very helpful. | In order to research your family in Ukraine, it is essential that you have identified the place where they came from.
