On September 01, 2023, was the “Day of Knowledge” and the first day of school in Ukraine. I was lucky enough to experience this in 2002, in my Baba’s family village on former Bukovina lands. Everyone from the village went to the village school and each student gave a speech on what kind of student they would be for the upcoming year. There were special interactions between the oldest students and the first graders. The school bell was officially rung, and community leaders spoke. I really like how much positive energy the Ukrainians place on education.
They say that “knowledge is power” (in Latin: “scientia potentia est”) = Знання - це сила
The beginning of September, my calendar starts to really fill up with Zoom sessions, workshops, conferences etc. so this article is perfect timing. I have always believed in lifelong learning.

Facebook (FB) Events - In-person and online
For me events on “Ukraine, Ukrainian, East European, genealogy, history”, etc. which match to the keywords that the organizers enter. You can also search by the words for which events you want to see. One of the great things about FB Events is that I can join Zoom sessions from the USA like the American Ancestors in MA, The Genealogy Center in IN (at the Allen County Public Library), Mid-Continent Public Library in MO, Family Search in UT, etc. https://www.facebook.com/events
RootsTech Conference and videos online
I watch the live events online during the annual conference and also check out the previous years’ videos on their website. You can subscribe for updates. I have written a list on different topics then binge watched. With the really good speakers, I seek out their website/blog and/or YouTube channel. RootsTech 2024 will be held February 29 - March 2, 2024, virtual and an in-person event. https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/
Legacy Family Tree Webinars
I also get the yearly membership so that I can download the syllabus. You can check out the Upcoming Live Webinars and their Webinar Library. Again, I have my favorite speakers and also enjoy finding out about new speakers. For example, there are a couple experts on DNA who I watch often lately! https://familytreewebinars.com/
Ancestry Academy
This is a collection of free video tutorials containing research tips, genealogy insights and DNA tools. They also have a YouTube channel and sometimes I like to watch their YouTube videos on my TV! https://www.ancestryacademy.com/browse

They also have a YouTube channel. A free learning, research, and activities center for family history. This blog has been added to the Ukraine section.
