If you are going to be visiting larger towns you'll have no problem finding a translator. Your best approach is getting in touch with the local high school, where one of the English teachers will be more than thrilled to have the opportunity to make a few extra bucks. I've had dealings with a number of such throughout Ukraine and have always found their knowledge of English quite satisfactory. The same can't be said of teachers in village primary schools. Should your search for your relatives indeed take you to a village you would be well advised to 1) bring your translator with you, and 2) speak to the local priest. This won't always help but it's usually preferable to dealing with head of the "silrada" (the local head honcho). Schastia vam (that's Good Luck!!)
