Ukraine Travel Tips

This photo shows Marilyn Bruya signing up to obtain travel information from Robert Schneider during the recent convention of the Germans from Russia Heritage Society at Portland, Oregon. There are at least two groups that make trips to the area where the German colonies in the Ukraine were located. Robert R. Schneider of Spearfish, SD, leads a group each Spring and another in the Fall of the year. His website lists travel tips and other information that might be useful to anyone planning to make such a trip. His website is at http://members.rushmore.com/~ukrainetours/travel_tips.htm. Michael Miller, Bibliographer of the North Dakota State University Library's German from Russia Heritage Collection, organizes and leads a group to the Ukraine each year during May/June. Letters written by some of those who made trips with him may be of interest. They can be found at the NDSU website at http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/grhc/outreach/journey/general_info/.
