Search the St. Petersburg Marriage Records
Volhynia, Kiev and Podolia Parishes
The original Volhynia portion of this database is hosted on the Odessa3 web site. SGGEE has undertaken to make corrections and to add new data from the original Rozyszcze Parish records. These changes are in progress. In addition, completed Kiev and Podolia parish extractions are now included in this SGGEE database.
SGGEE Members - Please consider the advantage of using the Members Only search page where you can do partial name searches such as searching for "chu" in the middle of a name. The advanced search feature is not available on this page.
You can also search the Birth and Death databases.
Great News! The original St. Petersburg records can now be viewed on line! Use the index below to find your ancestor and then go to see and print off a copy of the original. |
Notes
Volunteers have gone through the original database, conducting a major "cleanup" of the information contained there. Info previously contained in the remarks column (especially brides surnames) has been moved to the bride column allowing for more complete surname search capabilities. Some new data has also been added involving missing registration numbers. In using this data, please note the following important information.
1. The following years of marriage records are missing from the original microfilms: 1837-1842; 1844; 1848-1849; 1851; 1854; 1856
2. There are no filmed marriage records for the Rozyszcze Parish in THIS database for the years 1870-71 and after 1880. For information about other sources for records from this parish, see our Volhynian Parishes Database page.
3. There are no filmed marriage records for the Heimtal Parish for 1873-1874.
4. There are no filmed marriage records for any Volhynian parishes for the year 1884.
5. When using these records, it is important to understand how daughter parishes split off from the original Zhitomir Parish. Time lines and other information about this can be found on our Volhynian Parish History page.
Search Criteria
1. "Normal Search" is the default. It will find all occurrences of any given sequence of letters in a given search field. Thus, whether the sequence is a complete name or only a portion of a name, no matter where you seek the sequence, it will be found. For instance, if you type in [ jaeger ], you will find entries that include, "Jaeger, "Lobenjaeger", and "Geiger or Jaeger".
2. "Exact Match" will only find entries that include the exact letter sequence entered, and will not return any entry with additional spaces or other characters in the field searched.
3. There are no umlauts in the database (dotted vowels). Most of the umlauted letters have been replaced with ae, oe, or ue, but there are some names where the umlauted letter was changed to simply a, o, or u. You need, therefore, to do a search for both spellings of the name (ie., search for Konig as well as Koenig, etc.).
4. You do not need to enter data in all search boxes to find data. In fact, the more data you enter into the search fields, the fewer will be the results that will be returned. It is therefore possible that you will eliminate the data you seek if you narrow the search too much.
