Michelle,

The Central Archive of Historical Documents (AGAD - see address and website
below) in Warsaw has some of the original Rozyszcze Lutheran church books,
including 1884 which is missing from the St. Petersburg Archive data and most
of the years 1886 to 1890,
with some in the 1890s, as well as the earlier years.  They will do a search
for records of your family.  Give them as much information as you can.  They
of course charge a fee, but it is not unreasonable.  They may want a $30 US
research fee up front, and then will charge $10 per record that they find -
these may have changed since I last looked.  I have obtained a number of
marriage records from AGAD even for years covered by St. Petersburg because
they contain the full information - parents' names, age, birth place, etc.

> Dear list

>  I havn't been able to excatly find out where he was born yet I did find
> him immigrating to the U.S with his brother Albert, at Ellis Island and
> he listed the town of Baranouka as where he is coming from and his next
> of kin as father Franz Honig.  All that is known of his immidiate family
> is his brother that came with him.  There were other sibling due to
> family stories.  Two are that his entire family was killed in the middle
> of the night so he would not talk about them.  The other one is that a
> guy by the name of Emanuel Bilau immigrated to the same area as Otto -
> East End Saskatchewan - One of Emanuel's sisters Amelia married one of
> Otto's brothers back home in Volhynia.  I have found the marriage of
> Otto's parents in the St. Petersburg Lutheran Evangelical archives under
> Volhynian marriges 1880 - 85 in the Rosyszcze Parish on May 1 1883. Yet

> When Otto immigrated he and his brother lived with his Aunt (His mothers
> sister) and Uncle in Syskeston North Dakota, Adolf and Emile Kutz.  I
> have since found this family and have extensive family information on
> the Boehlke side which two of Emile and Bertha's brothers homesteaded in
> the Endiang Alberta area.  Yet I still can't find any family info on
> Otto and Alberts immidiate family.  The only other thing I have is that
> for years my family thought they had Otto's birth certificate.  Yet
> thanks to some wonderful people on this list that translated it for me,
> it turns out to be a passport for a member of the army giving him
> permission for leave for one year. (Which right after this he left in
> the middle of the night for the U.S.)  It is stamped in the Kisielin
> District.

> Does anyone have any ideas about how I can go about finding out more
> about Otto and his family?  This is one tough brick wall.
