Surnames

Where a surname was recorded in Ukraine

Type a surname in Ukrainian (Cyrillic) letters, or in Latin letters to find how it is spelled in Ukrainian: the search shows the towns and villages where the state memory books of the 20th century record it, on a map of the oblasts. They are records of 1917–1960. Nineteenth-century families were recorded in parish registers. Those are what we read, with a frame number beside every name.

144 524surnames

20 365towns and villages with at least one

The answer also shows the surname in the 1649 Register of the Zaporozhian Host, when the register holds it (the 1875 edition: regiment, sotnia and page).
