What Nyshporka helps with

Genealogical research stalls for all sorts of reasons — and often never even starts.

You don't know where to start

You want to research your family, but it's unclear which archives, which books and where to get them. Nyshporka will guide you from the very first question.

The trail has gone cold

An ancestor suddenly appears in a village, and where they came from is unclear.

It's unclear where to look

The answer may lie not in a parish register but in a confession list, a revision list or a court book from a completely different fond.

Too many pages

Hundreds of books and thousands of pages of old handwriting — you couldn't look through them by hand in years.

What Nyshporka does during a search

Getting from a question like this to a discovery like that — that is its job.

Suggests where to look

It knows which archive and fond hold your village's books: the ЦДІАК index of 4566 settlements, the ДАХмО catalogue of 9020 files, parishes and neighbouring villages.

Searches connected sources

The ARCHIUM and “Babyn Yar” archive viewers, the FamilySearch film mirror, Wikimedia Commons, Internet Archive, “Chtyvo”, ridni.org — and books in Supriaha that have already been read.

Reads old handwriting

Cyrillic and Polish Latin script of the 18th–19th centuries — and it finds the surname even when it was written differently or with a mistake.

Example: a record no index knew about →

Puts forward hypotheses

When the record is silent, it suggests where the family might have come from and where to check — and says honestly what is proven and what isn't yet.

Writes up a report

What was found, on which page of which book, how much was looked through and where to dig next. Records broken down into an Excel table.

Builds a family tree

Every finding goes onto a person card and a family card with a link to the source page, and from these cards Nyshporka builds the family tree — together with a map of places and a family website.

Example: the family of Karpo Kushnir →

Not just family trees: the same way people research the history of a village and parish, a church, local culture and the lives of notable people.

How it works →

How it works for you

You don't have to manage all these steps by hand. Nyshporka works on your computer together with an AI assistant — Claude or Codex: you say in plain words who you are looking for, and it searches.

  1. 1You say who you're looking for

    For example: “find everyone named Kovalskyi in the Chechelnyk parish registers for 1820–1850”.

  2. 2Nyshporka finds the books

    It suggests which archive and fond to search, and takes books already read from Supriaha as well as your own scans.

  3. 3Reads old handwriting

    Cyrillic and Polish Latin script — and it looks for the surname even where it was written differently or with a mistake.

  4. 4You check the finding

    Every match leads to a specific page of a book. Whether it is your family is for you to decide.

You can also run it from your phone: the assistant session on your computer is controlled remotely from the Claude or Codex app. The computer has to stay on.

Perhaps your book has already been read

And perhaps the book you need won't even have to be read again. Supriaha is a shared bank of books that have already been read: a book is read once, and everyone searches it.

And if the book you need isn't in Supriaha yet, you work with your own scans.

Your scans stay with you

Nyshporka works on your computer, and the scans stay on it — they don't go to our server. The AI assistant sees only what it opens during the search, as in an ordinary conversation with Claude or ChatGPT. Only the read text goes to Supriaha — and only when you yourself decide to share it.
