Russian & Ukrainian Search Helper
This tool is designed to help adoptees generate possible Russian and Ukrainian spellings of names and locations that may assist when researching documents, social media, or family history.
Your Information
Enter any information you know about yourself. If you know your patronymic, it may provide clues about your birth father's first name.
Note: No information entered into this tool is stored, saved, shared, or transmitted.
Optional. A patronymic is traditionally based on a father's first name and may provide clues when researching records.
For example:
Sergeyevich = son of Sergei
Sergeyevna = daughter of Sergei
This is only a guide and should not be considered proof of identity, parentage, or family relationships. Patronymics can vary between languages, regions, and historical records.
Birth Mother Information
If known, a patronymic may help identify a person's father. For example, Tatiana Sergeyevna may indicate her father's first name was Sergei.

Search Social Networks
Please use social networks thoughtfully and respectfully. This tool is intended only as a guide and may help generate possible searches based on the information you enter.
Search results may include people who are not connected to your adoption or family history. Please be mindful of others when viewing profiles or making contact.
The searches generated by this tool use publicly available information from social networks and search engines. Social networks often do not use patronymics (middle names), so searching using only a first name and surname may provide better results.
On VK.com and OK.ru, additional filters such as birth year and location can be applied after opening the search results.
Important Disclaimer
This tool is provided as a guide only. Results generated by this tool may not always be accurate and should not be considered proof of identity, parentage, family relationships, or official records.
Names and locations can have multiple spellings, translations, transliterations, and historical variations depending on language, region, and record keeping practices.
Patronymic information and family relationship clues provided by this tool are intended for research purposes only and should not be relied upon as evidence of biological relationships.
Please use social networks respectfully and be mindful that search results may include people who are not connected to your adoption or family history.
