The key to moving your search to Ukraine is knowing EXACT place of origin. Start w/Australia Records. If your family immigrated post WW2,there are Migrant Selection Records, qualifying them for the Work Immigration Program. The questionnaire should provide you w/answers to many personal questions, including exact birth place.

Migrant Selection Records for WW2 DP (Displaced People) are invaluable: http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/explore/migration/

Meanwhile also contact the Bad Arolsen Archives. There are appx 5 miles of shelves, stuffed w/DP records, being digitized. These archives will provide you w/details of Family's exact experience in German territory and other personal details like EXACT place of origin. Inquiry by immediate family is available for free. All you need to provide full name of person and any other spelling variants and exact birth date. Do not provide more info than that. You want the archivists to locate any and all records possible. Additionally, you can make an inquire for more than one person at a time.

Your inquiry can be done by e-mail. Response can take as little as three days or as much as six months. In order to expedite turnaround, it is best to also email a copy of death certificate w/you inquiry.

Upon accessing site click INQUIRY BY FAMILY MEMBERS on top. Follow instructions.
