Sereda (Середа): where the surname was recorded in Ukraine

Recorded in 215 towns and villages of 20 oblasts in the state memory books of 1917–1960. This is a count of places, not people or ancestors.

The index covers only the source material processed so far. An absent place does not mean the surname was never used there; a shared surname does not establish family origin or kinship.
