Appeal of the Ukrainian National Committee calling for the fight for a united, independent Ukraine

June 22. 1941

In this great and solemn hour, it is time for us to affirm the sanctity of our feelings through deeds and reason. As a new life, new morality, and new laws are forged in the toil and blood of the finest sons of rejuvenated nations, the day is drawing near when Ukraine will become the guarantor of order and peace in Eastern Europe. Throughout the centuries, it has been our providence to defend the cultures of freedom and faith with our swords and our own chests, against the hordes of nomads and the onslaughts of evil...

..........In our relentless struggle, we have been recording pages of history........

Studying history is having irrational grudges against people who have been dead for 500 hundred years (a guy's name kept appearing on my 15th century's notarial protocols)

My most recent project happened when the customer contacted me via Instagram for a commission to research her family history! I eagerly got started on her project the very next day — and the amount of information I discovered was astounding! I came across photographs of her Puerto Rican ancestors and passenger lists from when her German family came to the United States. Marriage records opened gateways into maternal lines I would not have been able to find otherwise; and by using all these documents with the addition of birth, marriage, and death records — I could piece together the story of this customer’s family, providing her and her immediate family with answers they were looking for. Additionally, by analyzing her DNA results, to could confidently tell her that what I had discovered was back up by her genetic matches!

Matin: archives nationales. J’ai numérisé plusieurs documents pour me servir d’annexes et ai vérifié certaines informations. Après-midi: cours de latin. Soir: lecture d’un article, correction de paragraphes. J’ai aussi dû rédiger 250 mots, ce qui n’est pas grand-chose, mais c’est toujours ça de pris.

Morning: Archives. I had some documents digitized, which will help me for my appendices, and I checked some informations. Afternoon: latin course. Evening: I read an article and edited a few paragraphs. I also wrote 250 words or so, which is clearly not much, but at least it’s something.
