With so much news about Ukraine, I realized I knew hardly anything about this country. With "Grandma Google's" help, I did some reading. And I checked out a library book on the history of Eastern Europe and Ukraine........ what a complicated, tangled and murderous history this little country has behind it. If anybody has ancestry in that area, I say, yes, fly the blue and yellow flag proudly!
(Did you know that the colors of Ukraine's flag are for blue skis and growing wheat...for Ukraine is the breadbasket of the region.)
If you do have ancestry in that area (meaning Eastern Europe), don't despair. Yes, the learning curve is much steeper than say for New England, but if it's YOUR ancestors you're after, then it's worth it, right?
