 Once you find out the town or village where your ancestors lived, you will use gazetteers and maps to locate it. You will need to know the province and diocese where the town was located. There may be more than one town by that name. Your ancestors may have attended a Catholic church nearby but not in the exact town. Or the Greek Orthodox Church they attended is in yet a different nearby town. All of these situations can be resolved by studying gazetteers and maps. For help with this step, see the Wiki article, '''[[Ukraine Gazetteers]]''' and the tutorial, [https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/session/using-maps-and-gazetteers-to-locate-the-hometown '''Using Maps and Gazetteers to Locate the Hometown'''] (Ukraine Maps and Gazetteers, Ukrainian Research Series)

+==Before 1920: Church Records==
+Once you verify at least the region, and hopefully the exact town and parish, where your ancestors lived, you are ready to search church records, known as parish registers or metrical books (metriki). For instructions and links to records, you will now use the Wiki article '''[[Ukraine Church Records]]'''. The baptism, marriage, and burial records kept by churches are the major source of family information before 1920 when civil registration started.

+==Since 1929: Civil Registration==
-Once you verify at least the region, and hopefully the exact town and parish , where your ancestors lived, you are ready to search church records, known as parish registers or metrical books (metriki). For instructions and links to records, you will now use the Wiki article '''[[Ukraine Church Records]]'''. The baptism, marriage, and burial records kept by churches are the major source of family information.
+The government began keeping birth, marriage, and death records in 1920. For instructions and the application process, see '''[[Ukraine Civil Registration]]'''.
-=== 1897 census (perepis 1897)  ===
-The 1897 census was the only universal census in imperial Russia, including Ukraine. It was conducted in the middle of the winter because this was the time when the populace was least mobile. The census tabulated information on name, age, sex, relationship, social class, occupation, religion, native tongue, literacy, birthplace, residence, registration site, military status, and disabilities. A copy was sent to St. Petersburg and was destroyed. Local copies have survived in Ukraine only for Kiev Province and for the Odessa City.
-=== Conscription lists (prizyvnye spiski)  ===
-The government instituted conscription 1874-1918. The drafting of selected groups began earlier but as of January 1, 1874, all 21 year-old males were subject to military service. Conscription occurred each year in October. The term of service varied from 3-5 years. Less than 50 percent of the draftees were inducted
-=== Lineage books (rodoslovnye knigi)  ===
-The gentry nobility assembly (''deputatskoe dvorianskoe sobranie'') was established in 1785 by Catherine the Great as the local governing body of the nobility. These books were compiled and turned into the assembly to confirm their hereditary status as nobles. They normally identify males only and relationships from father to son.
