Searching for Lost Relatives.
The International Red Cross in Kyiv may be able to search for relatives with whom you lost contact - either in Ukraine or in Canada.
If you last had news of them in Ukraine during World War II, that is, up to May 1945, please provide any identifying information to the Red Cross. The Red Cross will search for relatives lost in Ukraine during World War II even without an address.
However, if you last had news of your relatives more recently, the Red Cross requires an address no less than 20 years ago, i.e., 1978. There is no cost for searches, but they may take a year or more.
