Looking for a town in Russia named Rokytne, Kiev, where my Great AUnt, Basia Szechtman was born in 1
I have found out that there are 2 towns with same name? Am thinking one was in Poland at some point? ALso, the name Shectman, Szechtman has many variations in spelling.

Hello!
I'm leaning more towards this Rokytne as it is located in the Kiev oblast.
If you are looking to connect with family who may still be there (or find out what happened to them), I would recommend using the https://forum.j-roots.info/ site. They have a great forum on there with many Russian and Ukrainian researchers. The site is in Russian, but can easily be naviaged using Google Translate.

If you are using the Google Chrome browser, just right click anywhere on the page and click Translate to English. If you are using a different browser (Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.) you can still use Google Translate, but just with some extra steps. Go to translate.google.com and change the language settings to translate from Russian to English. Paste the URL: https://forum.j-roots.info/ into the Russian box and then click on the link that shows up in the English box. This will take you a translated version of the site. If you have your own post or question you want to share on the forum, you can write out your post in English first and then put it into Google Translate. Just be sure you are using short, simple, to the point sentences, otherwise Google Translate doesn't do a very great job.
