Two classics of Ukrainian-Canadian genealogy available again for purchase.

The East European Genealogical Society (EEGS) announces the reprinting of the first and third volumes of Vladimir J. Kaye’s indispensable Dictionary of Ukrainian Canadian Biography.

Volume 1, covering 941 settlers who arrived in Manitoba by 1900, was originally published in 1975 and has long been out-of-print. It is made available again on its 50th anniversary with the gracious consent of Kaye’s literary estate. This reprint consists of a facsimile reproduction of the entire, unaltered work, followed by a new index to the European place names by Brian J. Lenius and Dave M. Olinyk.

Volume 3, covering 295 settlers who arrived in Saskatchewan–Assiniboia by 1904, was left unpublished at Kaye’s death, and with the consent of his literary estate was first published by the EEGS in 2018. The “Saskatchewan” and “Assiniboia” of the title refer to two of the four Northwest Territories that became the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
