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) | Once you find out the town or village where your ancestors lived, you will use gazetteers and maps to locate it.
