In Ukraine, there is a free genealogical database Pra. In. Ua, which has 2.6 million people. In this case, only for the last month data on 114 thousand. human. Next year, the base is planned to expand to 3 million, and in a year to 4 million, according to HYSER. This portal is interactive - any registered user can add data or edit existing. In addition, the site offers the opportunity to create your own family tree. All these services are provided free of charge, the resource works thanks to donations from users.

"In addition to free access to the database (navigation includes search by name, date range, region, map and t. ), We created a section for volunteers. For them, the site posted the first portion of the still not processed scans and photocopies. The following portions will be laid out every 2 -3 weeks, "- says the Facebook page of the project.

To fill the database, the project team works with different sources of information. In particular, lists of losses of Ukrainian soldiers in the Austro-Hungarian army, military formations of the Russian Empire, in the Red Army (edition of 1926). Work is also underway with lists of repressed and prisoners in concentration camps.

As the developers of the site reported, within the next two weeks it will work in a test mode, so users may have problems.

"During the working hours more than 400 people sit on the pra. In. Ua and at the same time build a family tree, "- said the project team.

Also, the creators noted that they bought quite an expensive hosting, but even it does not withstand the load. In their opinion, this means that the people of Ukraine are in fact very much interested in genealogy. In particular, in just one day they created about 5 thousand. Pedigrees, which combined 37 thousand. human.

Over the next few months, the developers promise to enter on the site messaging and lay out the database version in Latin.
