Thank you very much Jerry.  The maps and gubernia explanation on this

  From one of the pages at JewishGen.org:

  "Alegata (also known as Marriage Supplements or Annexes) are a group of
documents that form a more detailed record of the betrothal than the
marriage record alone. In addition to the marriage registration, Alegata
include at least the birth records for the bride and groom. Other documents
relating to the bride and groom or their parents may also form part of the
Alegata. When a birth record could not be produced by the bride or groom, a
protocol (sworn statement from witnesses including details of the birth) was
created."

  Additional, and more extensive, detail can be found in Question #20 at

    Ewangelical and records span to 1940.  Does anyone know was alegata
means?
