A Few Words About Me

My name is Eugenia Petrenko, and I’m from Kharkiv, Ukraine. I hold a Master’s degree in Museology and the Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments (Kharkiv Academy of Culture).For the past 17 years, I’ve worked on The Memory Book of Ukraine project, dedicated to honouring those who participated in the Second World War. I’ve co-edited multiple volumes and contributed to eight volumes of The Memory Book of Ukraine, Kharkiv Region. I was also part of the team behind The National Book of Memory of the Victims of the 1932–1933 Holodomor in Ukraine.I’ve also served on the editorial board of the Encyclopedia of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Ukraine, which further fuelled my passion for preserving history.About ten years ago, I began exploring genealogy, which led me to join the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG). Today, I combine historical research with genealogical work, helping people discover their family stories and reconnect with their Ukrainian roots.My research includes Ukrainian, Mennonite, and German genealogy, especially families connected with Chortitza, Molotschna, Russian Empire records, Soviet records, and Ukrainian archives.With my experience and dedication, I can help you trace your family’s history and reconnect with your heritage.
