[Richard Benert]

Howard,

I have a question regarding the info you sent on the Wlad. Wol. Lutheran
parish records.  I notice that for both the birth and marriage records there
was a huge gap between 1892 and, of all years, 1915!  It was in 1915 that, I
should think, most of the congregations were expelled to Siberia or
wherever.  How does one explain (A) the lack of records after 1892 or 1894
and (B) their reappearance in 1915, a most unlikely year for records to have
been kept at all?  I also notice that death records only begin in 1914.
Surely earlier ones were lost.  But again, isn't it odd that after 1914 they
were saved?  A similar pattern exists for the Rozy. death records--a gap
between 1894 and 1915, though not for the other types.  Such gaps are not
surprising, of course, in an area where wars and turmoil have abounded.
Records get lost and destroyed.  It's just that 1915 should have been a year
when records disappeared, if anything.  Any suggestions??
