5 sources checked, and what each gave
| What | Result |
|---|---|
| A surname search on the largest free platform with name indexes, 19 spellings | 0. There is no name index for Orthodox Podillia there (checked August 9, 2026). Scans for Khmelnytskyi oblast exist and open from abroad (007809297, August 25, 2026). Without an index, the surname in these scans is searched frame by frame |
| The Polish genealogical society’s index for Khmelnytskyi oblast | 41 parishes, all Roman Catholic. Ours is not among them |
| The Podillia parish catalog | lists ДАХмО ф. 18 оп. 1 спр. 507, 295, 508 for Іванківці, 1869–1900 |
| Comparison against a wider catalog | the entries for opys 2 (files 35–38) are missing from the free catalog |
| pra.in.ua | the site does not respond (August 13, 2026). This is how the report marks a source that could not be reached |
What a reading adds when the surname is not in the books either
When the surname is not in the books read, you get a list:
- which files were read: with archive, fond, opys and sprava;
- from which frame to which each file was read;
- which spellings of the surname were checked, every one of them;
- proof that the book is whole: entries numbered without gaps, each year closed with the priest’s signature and a seal;
- where what is online stops, and how that differs from the end of the books in the archive itself.
You do not pay anyone for these pages again, and you know which frame to continue from once new scans appear.
For Іванківці it did not come to this: the very first file read gave 15 names.
“Records for this parish stop in such and such a year.” A free catalog describes one archive and a few of its fonds. One parish’s books can lie in several archives: for Тяглів that is Lviv and Warsaw (the sample report).
