About this article

Level C1 Reading focus

What you'll learn

Ukrainian epistolary and official styles: the letter's forms of address and conversational links («Бабусю, люба, привіт!», «Отже, шанс є!», «тож я вкажу про себе все») against the request's formulas («Прошу виконати генеалогічний запит», «Відомості потрібні для складання родоводу»).

The text compares Oksana's fictional letter to her grandmother with her fictional request to the State Archive of Odesa Region. The submission rules, the requirements for a genealogical request and the document types, including the genealogical certificate and the archival copy, come from the archive's 2017 procedure.
