Ukrainian birth record. Kyiv, February 21, 1925

Ukraine birth records are valuable resources for tracing family history, offering crucial details like names, dates, and locations. These records have evolved over centuries, influenced by changing political regimes and administrative structures.

A unique aspect of Ukrainian birth records is the existence of metrical books (metricheskiye knigi) from the 18th-20th centuries, which contain birth, marriage, and death information. These books were maintained by religious institutions and later by civil authorities.

Another distinctive feature is the availability of birth records from different historical periods, including Russian Empire, Habsburg Empire, interwar Poland, and Soviet era records. This diversity reflects Ukraine's complex history and can provide rich insights into ancestral origins and family migrations.
