-== Research Procedures  ==
-During the period of Soviet rule, archives centralized and preserved a vast holding of genealogical sources dating primarily from 1721-1917. Since 1992, the Family History has acquired a substantial collection of these sources on microfilm and as digital images.
-A film print is not always in the collection of the FamilySearch Library and you may need to wait a day or more to receive a copy. However, you order films in advance. Obtain call numbers from the Library catalog at [https://www.familysearch.org FamilySearch]. Russian is the primary language of the records but other languages are Polish, German and Latin. If the researcher identifies locations with the same name, he will need to track down the one in the appropriate jurisdiction.
-When it is not in the FS Library collection, you must determine in what archive the records are housed. Besides Route to Roots, there is a key site for Ukraine is [http://www.archives.gov.ua/Eng/ Archives of Ukraine].

-When visiting an archive, success depends largely on making prior arrangements so they know your purpose. Even then access is controlled by the disposition or mood of the archivist. Travel conditions and facilities are usually below Western standards. You may need a local guide/interpreter.
-Ukrainian genealogical records are filed by record group (''fond''); the records of a specific organization, portion of an organization, or individual. Archives also create collections in which records of different organizations or individuals are filed together on a thematic basis. Thus, vital records of different religions can be filed together. A single volume, file, or even a single sheet of paper is an item (''sprava''). Each item is given a title based upon the record type and contents. Items are usually filed chronologically by the earliest year of information found in that item. An inventory (''opis'') is a list of items in a record group or collection. The inventory identifies the title assigned to each item, the sequential number, and information on inclusive dates and number of pages. There may be multiple inventories for a record group, reflecting different types of material or different accessions of records for the same institution. As a result, each item is defined by three numbers: ''fond'', ''opis'', and ''sprava''. Later insertions are given an alpha designation after the number such as 21a, 21b, etc<br>
